New Character Dining Breakfast Experience at New Riviera Resort

Character dining is a popular and fantastic way to greet your favorite characters while getting a great meal. Breakfast options with Mickey and the gang are among the most popular breakfasts for obvious reasons. That’s why we were so excited to learn that a new character dining experience was coming to Disney’s Riviera Resort. The resort, Disney Vacation Club’s 15th resort, is offering “Breakfast a la Art with Mickey and Friends.”

Families looking to start their morning off with a fun breakfast experience can visit Topolino’s Terrace for Breakfast a la Art with Mickey & Friends – a prix-fixe Disney character dining experience. This breakfast is an excellent addition to the already long list of character dining experiences. We love the fact that Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy are the characters you can meet during breakfast. It’s one of the few places where you can see these four together at a character meal.

You’ll find the gang in very unique clothing! In keeping with the spirit of the Riviera, the characters are dressed in artists’ attire. Mickey is a painter, Donald is a painter, Daisy is a ballerina, and Minnie is a writer. The outfits are all fantastic. If you love getting photos of the characters in unique outfits, you won’t want to miss this one!

All Murphy Beds “Out of Order” After Riviera Resort Opening Night Accident

At the newly-opened Disney’s Riviera Resort last night, a family awoke to a loud bang after a murphy bed became detached from the wall and fell on top a family member who was sleeping on it. Now, it appears the resort is taking precautions by marking all of its Murphy beds “Out of Order” and asking guests not to use them.

After this morning’s incident, Maintenance at the resort has been leaving advisory notices inside rooms with similar trundle or Murphy beds to avoid any further accidents.

The advisories left on the beds read:

“We apologize for the inconvenience. This trundle bed is out of order and for your safety, it cannot be used at this time.

We want to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. If you had planned to use this bed, please contact the Front Desk so alternative arrangements can be provided.”

Analysis of the photo from the incident reported this morning shows that the furniture housing the Murphy bed was not properly installed or anchored to the wall, leading it to tip over and collapse with too much weight on the bed. Guests who were intending on using the fifth sleeper Murphy bed are being relocated to Two-Bedroom Villas to accommodate every member of the group.
