Hollywood & Vine is easily our favorite character dining experience on property, especially around the holidays. From September throughout early November, Minnie hosts a Halloween themed birthday party which we also went to this year and absolutely loved! Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy are all dressed up in their Halloween costumes and look incredible. Christmas at Hollywood & Vine is just as amazing and all of the same characters are dressed up in their Christmas best! All of the characters come visit you at your table for photos, except for Santa Goofy who you'll get a special meet & greet with at the front of the restaurant.
As far as the food goes, there's a lot of options (even a lot of gluten free ones too)! I will say, there were definitely more unique options at the Halloween Dine, but we still found a whole lot that we loved! It's safe to say that the Korean Tofu was a favorite for me, Lex, and Joey. It's gluten free, vegetarian friendly, and packed a ton of flavor! We were one of the last reservations of the night and when it came time to visit the dessert bar, we found that a lot of the dessert options were already taken away for the night, but still made do with what was available.
Overall, Minnie's Holiday Dine is a definite must-do if you're here for the holidays! The food & characters are so worth the price AND they even accept Tables in Wonderland for a discount!
