This is our first trip to Disney World.I have two boys, ages 4 and 6. What are the best character meal locations for boys? Do I need to reserve in advance? We are purchasing the basic meal plan, and hope to do a character meal each of our 4 day stay.

Hi Karen, I have two boys too! Mine are 5 and 7 and both think no trip to Disney is complete without a character meal, or two (or three)! My kids' current favorite dining spots include: Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House at Animal Kingdom The Garden Grille at Epcot Cape May Cafe (for breakfast) As you can imagine, character meals are very popular and often completely booked. I strongly recommend making advanced dining reservations to ensure that you secure the times and locations your boys are most interested in by calling 407-WDW-DINE (939-3463) up to 180 days before your trip. Have a magical vacation! Tanya
