Minnie's Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine

[ammeador2]

Do we know if this is a character breakfast?

I have no idea. I don't even see the menu yet.

 

[wmjeffer]

I booked a Garden Grill breakfast too (pre-park opening) - no idea if there are characters or not! Just happy to avoid some of the rope drop rush

 

[snuggly duckling]

This is driving me crazy. I wish they would just give us a date then I can have a life again!

It's actually better that they don't announce a date. If they did, all the blogs would publicize it and then more of the masses would know, creating more demand and competition. This way, the craziest among us (those on this thread) will get first dibs!

My guess is that is why they didn't announce it for BOG. I'm betting there isn't going to be a date set to release either...it will just be like BOOM and its there! Lol

I actually woke up this morning checked and then went back to sleep. While I was sleeping I dreamt they opened it up for booking and I got one but forgot to try and get a F! I went back and looked again to see if I could change it to F! and there was only one time available and once I clicked on it to book it the site started going really slow and having issues. Seemed about right to me

A dream come true. Pure magic. (Insert sarcasm).

So my evil genius plan this morning got a major detour.

I was going to call like normal and wait for the CM to tell me that nothing has been said and then......Tell them that the CM I spoke to last night said to call back this morning and they would be able to give information.

My thought was worst case, I still know nothing. Best case, I confuse them and they leak something.

Fast forward to calling this morning.

First call was a 90+ min wait.....let me think.....no

Second call was a 2.5+ hr wait....let me think again.....heck no



My evil plan will take place eventually and I will get an answer (that I don't wait to hear probably :-/ )

 

[SJDisneyFanatic]

Exactly! I played around with the different dates and I've managed to find CM, CP for several dates and times during our stay and also the MM F option was available for all days and all times during our 9 day stay.

Thanks for posting this! I was able to get a pre-opening breakfast reservation at GG thanks to your post and continuing to try different places. Yay...now if this one would just open up I could get back to some semblance of life before I found out about this dinner! Also hope all my pre-opening breakfasts don't turn into non-pre-opening breakfasts as they change with the hours as we get closer to the holidays!

F & W events went on sale for Disney Chase Visa card holder which is why the wait times were insane. I was on hold for over an hour & fifteen minutes before a CM picked up. I was shocked to be able to get everything I wanted after waiting that long.

Heads up that Thursday morning will be even worse than today because booking for F & W will be open for everyone. There were some events that weren't available to book today so it will be hours of waiting on Thursday. Of course I fully expect that will be the day Disney will open up booking for Minnie's Holiday Dine and extend BOG breakfast.

 

[boygirlmom611]

I called twice now with questions about the garden grill breakfast/lunch (confirmed characters and yes dining plan accepted) and told her I was told to call back today about Minnie Holiday and Dine and she just chuckled and said it's not open for booking yet....UMMM yes I know...LOL

Question on the Disney Chase Visa openings

Is that for only Disney Chase Credit Cards or do they allow the Disney Chase Debit Cards too?

I booked GG for breakfast this morning too. Thanks for posting this! Does your confirmation say "dining plans not accepted"?

Yep. That sounds about right.

 

[Disney_Dogs_Rule]

Why would they need to open it any other day than a day that the servers will be bogged down with traffic.

Logical thinking is not required when doing something that seems so simple to everyone else.

 

[Disney_Dogs_Rule]

While those CM's are tough cookies to crack.

I talked with a poor lost puppy and I believe I confused him more than he already was.

He said that nothing had been released yet and I said that I was told to call back today. He was like but I don't see anything in here saying when it will be available. I was like, are you sure you don't because they were positive I needed to call this morning. He said no, I don't see anything stating a time it will be released.

oh well, maybe next CM

Mine said that when I booked for lunch. It bothers me, but people on these boards say it's just a mistake. Definitely wouldn't book this if we can't use the dining plan!

Yes, that she said dining plan IS accepted, so thinking it's an error

 

[tcumom0613]

this is such a great idea! They need other options than Chef Mickey for the classic characters.

 

[cindermouse]

I have no idea. I don't even see the menu yet.

Disney parks blog has the same menu for lunch and under breakfast it says eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon, waffles, and sticky buns.

"Beginning November 8, Garden Grill Restaurant will begin serving up breakfast and lunch in addition to dinner. The new Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Breakfast Harvest Feast will have all the fixin’s served in an all-you-care-to-enjoy family style. What’s on the menu? Look for breakfast favorites like biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, Mickeywaffles, and their signature item, Chip’s Sticky Bun Bake.

At lunch, look for your all-you-care-to-enjoy favorites from the dinner menu, like “Living with the Land” Harvest-inspired Farmer’s Salad (which utilizes greens from the attraction), char-grilled sliced filet of beef, roasted all-natural sliced turkey breast with freshly-harvested vegetables and scrumptious side dishes."
