Hi Samantha,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. I’m excited to hear you’re #resEARching Character Dining, as there are so many wonderful opportunities to meet your favorite Disney friends while enjoying a delicious meal.
Samantha, I think you’ll find this
list of Character Dining options really handy. Click on each option for all the details, including a list of the characters you might expect to see – but please remember that character availability is subject to change. On each restaurant’s web page, you’ll be able to view menus, and click on the language right above the menu to see the number of Disney Dining Plan entitlements charged per person at that location.
It's impossible to choose a favorite, but we loved the Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno, where my family met Ariel and Prince Eric, and Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder. We’re also big fans of Minnie’s Beach Bash at Cape May Café and celebrating friendship (and hugs!) with Pooh and friends at The Crystal Palace. There are so many great dining options, Samantha, so please come back and see us if you have specific questions about any of them.
We’ve also just learned of a
brand new character dining experience coming to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge this winter. We’re still waiting for all the details, but if you’re a fan of Snow White, this storybook experience might be perfect for you.
No matter where you dine, have fun thinking of questions to ask the characters, and be sure to bring your autograph book.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
