As of 2026, there are no official Disney-operated character breakfasts located directly within the Disney Springs shopping and dining district. Character dining remains primarily concentrated within the four theme parks and specific flagship Disney Resort hotels (like Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary or 'Ohana at the Polynesian). However, many travelers mistake the Ravello breakfast at the nearby Four Seasons Resort Orlando (which is in the Golden Oak area adjacent to Disney Springs) or the Garden Grove breakfast at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel as being "at" Disney Springs due to their proximity. If you are specifically looking for a morning meal with characters without a park ticket, these nearby resort options are your best bet, as Disney Springs focuses more on third-party culinary excellence and retail rather than meet-and-greet dining.
