    How do I know which characters will be at the dining restaurant?

    Hi Melissa,

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I love that you are considering Character Dining at the Walt Disney World Resort. My family enjoys character meals because of the fabulous character interactions and fun dining options!

    Since characters are subject to change, they are often not officially listed. When we have dined at Chef Mickey's in the past, we have seen Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck and Goofy. At the Crystal Palace, we have seen Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet.

    At Cinderella's Royal Table, Cinderella greets guests as they enter and there are typically at least four other princesses rotating through the dining area. We have seen Snow White, Ariel, Jasmine, and Aurora. At Hollywood & Vine we have hugged Handy Manny, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins and Jake of the Never Land Pirates. At 1900 Park Fare, my girls have been stunned into silence by Prince Charming and danced with Cinderella's wicked stepmother.

    Disney has just announced that Trattoria al Forno will have characters at breakfast starting April 2, 2017. We are all hoping to see Rapunzel on our next visit!

    Whatever you decide, character experiences are amazing. Be sure to take an autograph book and pen!

    I hope this helps!
