Magic Kingdom® to Tony's Town Square
Restaurant where they are welcomed by the restaurant's proprietor
himself, Tony.
As they enter the restaurant, smells of a hot cooked breakfast fill
the air. Once guests are seated, Tony welcomes them by singing with,
of course, an Italian flair!
Pure hilarity ensues as Disney characters Chip, Dale, Donald Duck,
Daisy Duck and more enter the dining area wearing comical outfits
and carrying baskets of warm muffins, fresh out of the oven for the
guests to enjoy.
The characters then disperse into the restaurant to meet-and-greet
guests with music playing throughout the restaurant during
breakfast, which consists of a wonderful assortment of pastries,
scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and much, much more!
As another special treat, Gatherings have an opportunity to spend
one-on-one time with the big cheese himself, Mickey Mouse, for
