Hey there, hi there, ho there, Kay.
You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney! In less than two months you'll be standing right in the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. with a Mickey Pretzel in hand gazing upon Cinderella Castle adorned in her
50th Anniversary Celebration finest. I bet you can't wait!
I'm so glad you stopped by with this excellent question, because
Character Dining is one of my favorite ways to dine at Walt Disney World Resort. Many of the locations that offered Character Dining experiences prior to COVID-19
now offer a modified version with the same lovable characters. A few locations have yet to open altogether or are open but still have not returned to the Character Dining experience they had before. I wish I had more details to share as to when we can expect these locations to offer Character Dining again, but there have been no announcements made at this time. While I know that's not what you were hoping to hear, I am optimistic we won't have to wait too long to see all Character Dining experiences return. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and
Walt Disney World Resort website, as they will likely be the first sources to announce any updates.
Kay, be sure to check out all of the festive fun at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival on your trip. There are so many delectable sips and eats to sample at the
Outdoor Kitchens. My personal favorite is the Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at the Pineapple Promenade and the Local Wildflower Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake at The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by National Honey Board. I daydream of the next time I'll have these treats more often than I care to admit! You also need to stop by
Bambi's Butterfly House. There's something truly magical about being surrounded by flittering, fluttering butterflies!
Enjoy every moment on your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Please stop back by
planDisney if you have further questions along the way.
Happy planning,
Alyssa
