    How do I book breakfast or dinner with the characters

    Hi there, Kimberly! Thanks so much for visiting planDisney. You've got a friend in me, and I'm happy to help you with your vacation planning question. Let's jump right in with the information you need so you can enjoy a memorable Character meal on your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. 

    Guests may book dining reservations at Walt Disney World restaurants beginning 60 days before their check-in date. For you, that means TODAY is the magical day! I recommend hopping online straightaway to make advance dining reservations on the Walt Disney World website, or via the My Disney Experience app. I prefer using the website on my laptop for my 60-day reservations (I usually have a list of what I'm trying to book on paper that I'm working from). Then, I'll use the app on my phone to adjust reservations closer to our arrival date as plans firm up, or keep searching for a coveted reservation I couldn't initially get!

    When you search for reservations, filter the results for Character Dining. There are lots of different Character meals at the four theme parks, as well as some of the Resort Hotels. If you have your heart set on a photo op with Mickey Mouse and pals, there are several options: 
    • Chef Mickey's (Disney's Contemporary Resort - breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
    • Garden Grill (EPCOT - breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
    • Tusker House (Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park - breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
    • Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera (Disney's Riviera Resort - breakfast only)
    • 'Ohana (Disney's Polynesian Village Resort - breakfast only)
    • Hollywood & Vine (Disney's Hollywood Studios - lunch and dinner only; breakfast is a great buffet featuring Disney Junior characters)

    If you're wishing on the Evening Star to dine with royalty, you're in luck! Here are your choices for some quality time with Disney Princesses and friends: 

    Kimberly, if you can't find the reservation you're hoping for, don't despair! Guests' plans change all the time, so be persistent and keep checking back. I've managed to snag several Character meals at the last minute after initially striking out.

    I hope the stars align for that reservation you're looking for! Thanks for stopping by planDisney, and please come back anytime if we can help with other questions. 

    See Ya Real Soon!
