Located in the EPCOT area, this buffet restaurant serves both breakfast and dinner. During breakfast guests can also meet characters at Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast.
This is where we had a very first character dining experience years ago when we brought our kids to Disney World for the first time. We were traveling with friends and one of the kids was a little nervous about meeting characters, which is why we chose this dining experience. This was a good way for the child to see the character from a distance and decide if they wanted to see the character closer. Eventually, Minnie ended up sitting next to them holding their hand, and she sat there for a bit helping ease the nervousness. After that meeting characters was no big deal, and I’ll never forget the patience of that cast member helping with that.
Since then we’ve been back to Cape May Cafe multiple times, not just for the character experience, but also because of the food and we love the resort, as well. Cape May Cafe is located at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and is right off the lobby, very easy to find. The cast members are very helpful and there is usually someone standing outside the lobby door who you can ask for directions. They also have a greeter right inside the lobby, and they are very helpful, but the restaurant really is easy to find. Like any Disney World Resort hotel, the lobby is designed to the theme of the hotel, so give yourself time to look around and take in the surroundings.
Cape May Cafe is a beach themed restaurant, which goes along with the resort hotel nicely. The beach themed touches can be seen all around the restaurant, like the decorative sandcastles by some of the tables. Of course, the outfits the characters wear at breakfast are beach themed as well.
Each meal time has a variety of food for guests. Since it is a buffet, guests can get as many plates as they would like. However, the snow crab legs served at dinner cost extra at $29 per pound. The pricing is as follows, breakfast $49 per adult/$33 per child and dinner $49 per adult.$29 per child.

At dinner non-alcoholic specialty drinks, beer, hard cider, hard seltzer, cocktails, sparkling wines, white wines, rosé, and red wines are available for purchase.
Any time we have eaten here we have enjoyed it, so it’s always a spot I recommend, especially when someone is looking for a character dining option. The food is always good and the atmosphere is fun. Have you been to Cape May Cafe?

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out our Countdown to Disney app! Feel free to email me with suggestions of things you would like to see in the app :-)
