Hello Alyssa,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. Summer is going to fly by, and before you know it you'll be joining The World's Most Magical Celebration!
Character dining at
The Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and his pals from the Hundred-Acre Wood is one of our family's favorite places to start our day in
Magic Kingdom. Like you, I am impatiently waiting for characters to make their way back. There still hasn't been an announcement for The Crystal Palace, but keep checking Disney Parks Blog for updates.
In the meantime, you may want to consider some alternatives. Even if they aren't the same Tigger-ific experience you're waiting for, there are still plenty of excellent options that will add some magic to your Disney day. You can dine with Mickey and his pals at
Chef Mickey's in Disney's Contemporary Resort.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is another popular spot; dining in the West Wing is my favorite. Another option to consider is taking a boat ride to
Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort. My family loves the antics at
Whispering Canyon Café, and
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White is a fantastic immersive new character dining option.
You still have some time before you can make your dining reservations, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and send you some virtual pixie dust.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
