Character Breakfast at Topolinos

Question

Hi looking at booking the above for a party of 6

When I try it has no availability

When I decrease the party to 4 it has plenty of availability

We done this Character breakfast a few years ago, for a party of 6 and no issues

Any ideas…. Am I doing something wrong

Answer

Hi there,

Topolino's Terrace at Disney's Riviera Resort is a very popular character breakfast, and availability can fluctuate based on party size. What you’re experiencing is actually a common issue due to how Disney’s reservation system works.

Possible reasons for no availability for a party of 6:

Disney often allocates larger tables separately, and there are fewer slots for larger parties, especially during peak times. A party of 4 is more flexible to fit into available tables, which is why you see more availability when you decrease the party size.
The system may combine smaller tables to accommodate large parties, but if those combinations are already booked, you’ll see no availability.
Sometimes Disney holds certain tables for special guests, dining plans, or blocks for online booking promotions, which limits the options for larger parties.

Tips to secure a table for a party of 6:

Try splitting the reservation into two smaller tables (e.g., 3 + 3 or 4 + 2) and request to be seated together in the special instructions. The staff will usually accommodate if possible.
Check frequently — Disney releases additional reservations at 7:00 AM EST daily, and cancellations happen often.
Call Disney Dining directly. Sometimes the cast members can help you find a table for your full party or provide tips on availability.
Consider booking a different meal time if you have flexibility — earlier or later times may have better availability for larger groups.

Bottom line: you’re not doing anything wrong — it’s just how Disney manages reservations for larger parties. Persistence and flexibility are key, and splitting the reservation or calling dining directly usually solves the problem.
