Hi there, Monica!
When you're on the Deluxe Dining Plan, the (dining) world is your oyster!
Most of the character dining experiences are either buffet or served family-style, all you care to eat.
Other options you might like on the plan include
Whispering Canyon Cafe in
Disney's Wilderness Lodge. While there are no characters, the place is loaded with fun, and delicious skillet meals are served family style.
You might consider the
50s Prime Time Cafe at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. This throwback to a 50s kitchen allows you to dine with your new "family", enjoying plates piled high with classic favorites and new spins on old reliables.
If you'd like, send me a note with some of your family's favorite characters or cuisines. I'll be glad to offer you some more tailored suggestions. Because the options are so plentiful at the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts, it's hard to narrow down the choices without some guidance from you and traveling party.
I look forward to hearing from you!
See you later, celebrator,
-Deborah B.
