I'm confused about character dining with my 2 1/2 year old...since he isn't eligible for the meal plan, will we have to pay to take him into the character dining buffets? If so, how much would this be likely to cost? Thanks!

Hi Carrie! The character meals are a wonderful, relaxing way to introduce your children to the characters, and the best news for you is that children under age 3 eat free at all buffets at Walt Disney World. Your two-year-old can meet the characters and eat whatever he wants at Chef Mickey's or any of the other buffets at no charge! Hope your little guy enjoys his meals with the characters!
