Hi Samantha!
It sounds like you are planning a very fun vacation for your family! I'm glad you stopped by the Disney Parks Moms Panel so I can help you pick out the perfect
Character Meal.
Walt Disney World Resort has several unique options for dining with Mickey and Minnie or their friends. One great way to incorporate one of these meals into your vacation during a non-park day. This can be your arrival or departure day, or if you're planning a day at your resort to enjoy its amenities. Add a character meal at one of the Disney Resorts and you'll have a special Disney touch to look forward to. One of the newest character meals is located at
Topolino's Terrace: Flavors of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy will join you as you dine on delicious breakfast fare. Another favorite is the Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo & Stitch at
O'hana in Disney's Polynesian Resort. If you plan a late breakfast, it can even double as an early lunch!
Another option to include a character meal into your plans is to attend one inside of the theme parks. My favorite time to schedule a meal during the summer is in mid to late afternoon. While technically this is often lunch, I find it is the perfect time to take a break from the heat and relax in the air conditioning. One of my favorites is at
Tusker House at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I love seeing all of the characters in their safari attire. It's such a fun experience.
Whichever meal you choose, be sure to make your dining reservation as soon as you can. Character meals are very popular and fill up quickly. If your first choice of dining locations does not have availability, be sure to check back often. As vacation plans firm up, guests often adjust their reservations.
I hope this helps you decide on a delicious meal!
