This review is for the character breakfast. A few in our group have been here before, and the rest of us were here for the first time. We made reservations a couple of months in advance for a large party and were seated within 15 minutes of checking in. Once called, we had a chance to take photos with Mickey Mouse, who was stationed near the host’s desk. Everyone in our party had a picture with Mickey, and then we were led to our table.

The breakfast menu includes set starters and entrée options, no longer a buffet. Everyone at the table started with fresh fruit and a malasada. For my entrée, I chose the Punaluu Sweet Bread French Toast with Portuguese sausage. I enjoyed the French toast, though a bit sweeter than I’m used to, and the sausage was average. I’ve had better Portuguese sausage elsewhere. Some of my family enjoyed the Loco Moco, Kalua Pig Omelet, and Buttermilk Pancakes. The kids enjoyed their meals as well, especially the Mickey waffles.

A few characters (Minnie, Pluto, and Stitch) made their way around the dining area multiple times, greeting everyone, giving hugs, and creating photo opportunities. The adults were just as excited to see the characters as were the kids. This alone is worth the price.

Our primary server, Jason (12/14/25), was excellent, attentive, and friendly. Always props to the staff whenever we dine in as a large group.

We recently had breakfast with the characters at Disney Aulani, and it was truly a magical experience from start to finish!

The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were perfectly made—everything felt thoughtful and high quality. What really made this breakfast unforgettable, though, was the character experience. Disney characters come right to your table while you’re eating, giving you plenty of time to take photos, interact, and soak in the magic. The kids were beyond excited—laughing, smiling, and fully engaged the entire time.

One of the sweetest touches was that the characters also signed autographs, which made the experience even more special and memorable. And of course, the Mickey-shaped waffles were a huge hit—our kids loved them!

If you’re visiting Aulani with children (or are a Disney fan at heart), I highly recommend the character breakfast. It’s fun, well organized, and truly one of those core Disney memories you’ll treasure long after your vacation ends. ✨

From what I understand, this character breakfast is really hard to get into. However, we were still on mainland time so we were up around 5am which made it easy to walk up to the door around 6:45 to stand in the stand-by line. We were 3rd in line (with all the other dads who woke up early to wait) and got in right at 7am. We were guided into the space and BOOM Hawaiian Mickey!! We sat at the table and were instantly greeted by Chip and Dale and took all the pictures and video we wanted. Next, we watched Minnie Mouse dance the hula to Uncle Mahina’s ukulele and whimsical voice. We had met Uncle on the tour the day before and he remembered us by name! The service was slow, which could have been deliberate so we could see all the characters but it was noticeable after we had said hi to all the characters multiple times. The menu was small and made even smaller by my dietary needs. Here is my only real complaint…it is not like the cruise line or Disney World in terms of dietary restrictions. I have a dairy allergy and gluten sensitivity. I was very limited in what I could eat which made that hefty $57 per person FOR BREAKFAST much more painful. There weren’t substitutions for dietary needs, just eliminations. So overall, I am very glad we got to do it once, but I am not inclined to do it again. I’d much rather go to one of the other restaurants on property, or cross the street to some of the outside of Disney options.

This dinner was incredible!!! Our server Josh was excellent and very attentive. We had the 3 course dinner and it did not disappoint. First, warm bread came out that was so good! Then we had ceasar salad that was basically a meal on its own. I couldn’t finish because I wanted to have room for my mahi-mahi over gnocchi in a sweet onion cream sauce with asparagus and corn. It was delicious! Super fresh and also added 4 shrimp in a garlic butter sauce. Way too much to eat, but it was so good! Hubby had the ribs with Mac and cheese–also phenomenal! For dessert, I got the roasted pineapple cobbler. It was good, but too sweet. Hubby got the Mickey brownie with vanilla ice cream and berries. Definitely the best dessert. You get 2 brownies and they were just fabulous! Highly recommend getting that dessert over the cobbler. The restaurant was open air and very spacious. Just over all beautiful and a great experience.

My favorite experience at the Aulani resort. 3 courses for $85 is somewhat expensive back home, but at the resort it’s not out of the question. I had the ceasar salad, new york strip, and cheesecake. The ceasar had a nice bright acidity to it. Personally, I’d go for the fat cap to be a little more rendered on the strip, but I’m being nit-picky. The cheesecake was decadent but not overly rich.

Impossible to get reservations for the character breakfast. If you really want it, go 6:45am to line up. Would say skip and go to Off the Hook. Dinner service was horrible. Our seats were wet and there was ice cream on the floor. My seat was sticky. My son got a stomach ache from eating the ribs. Super expensive for a 3 course dinner. Skip and go out for dinner.

I made reservations for our family (Group of 8) for the 10 am character breakfast to celebrate my husband and my 15th anniversary. Upon check in, we were given the exclusive opportunity to take pictures with Mickey Mouse. The Disney photographers were pleasant and helpful. I didn’t feel rushed and they even offered to take pictures with our phone cameras. Disney photos were definitely better quality and so we purchased the digital download package with one print ($40). They come around the tables to show you the photos and again very pleasant and helpful. Our waitress was an angel and made every effort to accommodate our variety of requests. The espresso was good and the latte was a life saver. $55 per person included masalas, fruit, and entree. The plates were brought to the table and everything was impeccable. We were not hotel guests but we paid for all day valet parking ($40) and were able to enjoy the onsite beach after breakfast, purchase from the gift shops and enjoy drinks and desserts from onsite bars and food stands. Bring a towel and sunscreen

To be honest the experience was a bit underwhelming for the price. It was $55 about 1-2 months ago. $57 for 1 Malasada, 1 standard bowl of non-tropical fruit, and 1 entree. I understand you’re paying for the Disney experience but for that price l wish there was more options for the entree. It was nice to go once but don’t think I would go again.

Came here for the character breakfast. I have been to many other character meals so I kind of knew what to expect.
First they have you take a picture with Mickey, he was great! We didn’t have to wait long to get seating, make sure you make a reservation 30 days beforehand because it is hard to get.
All the characters were really great and our server was wonderful. The food was sort of a miss. I know its supposed to be more about the experience rather the food but I have had good food at other characters meals. The malasadas were the best part. I am glad that we tried it out though, if we’re to vacation here again it’s something we can skip.

I made reservations in advance of my visit for a character breakfast and dinner. Both meals were easy to check into with friendly staff. I love character meals, I’ve done many at the parks, and this was just as great. The characters are engaging and funny and definitely worth it. You meet one as you enter and there is a little story time and dance and the other characters come to your table. There were different characters at the breakfast and dinner.
Food was good and there was plenty of it.
