Hi Eileen!
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm happy to help answer your questions about character dining at the Walt Disney World Resort! Being able to dine at one of the restaurants within Walt Disney World is always a great experience. Add the opportunity to see Mickey and Friends come to your table and dance around you, families are bound to have a memorable meal!
Chef Mickey's, located in Disney's Contemporary Resort, is currently not offering a character dining experience for its meals. In order to adhere to safety and health guidelines, Chef Mickey's is offering guests all you care to enjoy family style meals. It is unknown at this time when character dining will resume for Chef Mickey's among other dining experiences.
If you are seeking out a character dining experience,
Topolino's Terrace-Flavors of the Riviera offers a modified character dining experience, where Mickey and Friends can be seen walking and waving throughout the restaurant. Another character dining experience currently available is the
Garden Grill Restaurant in Epcot and
Hollywood & Vine in Disney's Hollywood Studios, all with similar character set ups. For more information on the phased reopening of Disney dining experiences, check out the
Know Before You Go-Dining page.
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
Malanie
