Minnie's Summertime Dine Menu at Hollywood and Vine?

[mousefan73]

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the seasonal items at Minnie's Beach Party themed dinner? Google online and find nothing. supposidly they have a themed menu based on the dinner theme.

we have an ADR in September and are not sure to keep or not.. You hear good and bad...

I can't say about the seasonal items in September, I had an ADR for this as well first week in August, mainly because my DD17, DD22, wanted to see them in their summer attire, but when I reviewed this restaurant, I cancelled it. There were more negatives than positives I'm afraid, and it is pretty costly. If you are on the dining plan, this will not matter however. One thing that stuck out to me was how many people always say there are no decent places to eat at HS except 50's PT and SF. Must be for a reason that this one is seldom mentioned or recommended. I do know the breakfast with Disney Jr characters is popular with the young ones.

I would google this (Minnie's Summertime Dine or Minnie's Beach Party menu) and take a look, it may work for you and your family. I never want to discourage others from trying something because we all have different expectations and experiences. We love some that others do not.

Down near the bottom it will say SAMPLE DINNER MENU for this one

I keep going back and forth myself. We are trying to decide between Chef Mickey and the Summertime Dine. My DS5 told me he wants Chef Mickey's, so I don't think we want to do both. I have read bad reviews about Hollywood and Dine, but there aren't many reviews about the Seasonal Dining that I have found. I was able to find two or three, and the reviews were mixed.

We had a great time at Minnie's Holiday Dine - some of what I felt was "Seasonal" at that point were some butternut squash ravioli and some of the desserts. I believe a lot of the items on the buffet are staples and would be there all year (the lobster mac and cheese) We found the food to have a nice variety and be fresh and tasty. Plus we love seeing the characters in cute unique outfits!

Depends on when in September you are booked? The summer theme ends September 11. Starting September 12 it's the Halloween theme

Just wanted to say that we were there in early June, and we all loved Minnie's Seasonal Dine at H&V! The characters were adorable in their summer beach attire! The interaction was great! They all came to our table twice, while we dined. As for the food, we thought it was very good! I especially loved the Salted Caramel Chocolate Dipped Strawberries they had on the dessert table. That was the best dessert I had during my entire trip! Not too sweet or heavy, but I admit, I did eat a lot of them ~ LOL! We did the Fantasmic dining package, which we also did 5 years ago. Although we thought the buffet was good then, it's even better now! They also didn't have characters at dinner 5 years ago.

As a side note, we were not impressed with 50's PTC. The food wasn't that great, and the experience didn't live up to what I read. However, I feel everyone should experience restaurants on their own, because opinions can be very subjective. If there weren't other places we want to try at DHS (both TS and QS), I may even venture into 50's PTC again, just to give it another shot.

Exactly, we all feel differently and although I do feel doing your homework is important so you will know what to expect, it is your family and you know what they would prefer to do and where to eat. I read some good reviews as well, but I felt, based on what I read, not being on the dining plan, it was not a good choice for our family. In comparison, we go to Shula's, get the best meal anywhere and spend about the same. I loved 50's, but probably because our choices in this park are so limited. Last time was better for us because I gave up the "pot roast" which has been my staple for 18 years, and tried something new. Again, all about expectations. For us, dining means, rest, enjoyment, and if the food is good, you can get that in many places at Disney. So glad you enjoyed your experience.
