    I am looking for information on the different character dinning options. What characters are at what restaurants? Is the dining at Cinderella's castle like? Would a boy who likes princesses enjoy it?

    Greetings Jennifer!

    Character dining is one of those quintessential activities at Walt Disney World. My family loves doing at least 2 character meals during each of our visits. We typically do one breakfast and one lunch or dinner. The boys usually pick one and then my daughter picks another. Here is a list of many of them and the typical characters available at each. Keep in mind, though, that characters are subject to vary or change without notice.
    • Cape May Cafe - characters only available at breakfast - Goofy, Minnie Mouse and Donald
    • Chef Mickey's - characters at all three meals - Chef Mickey and friends
    • Cinderella's Royal Table - princesses at all three meals - Cinderella greets guests in lobby and a variety of princesses come to your table. Historically, girls receive a crown and wand and boys get a foam sword and wishing star. My boys enjoyed it.
    • 'Ohana - characters at breakfast only - Lilo, Stitch, Pluto and Mickey dressed in Hawaiian style.
    • 1900 Park Fare - characters at breakfast and dinner - Alice, Mad Hatter, Pooh, Tigger and Mary Poppins are there for breakfast and during dinner, Cinderella and her stepmother and stepsisters mingle among the guests. This is my favorite buffet, too.
    • Hollywood & Vine - characters at breakfast and lunch - Disney Jr. characters such as Jake the Neverland Pirate and Doc McStuffins
    • Tusker House - characters at all three meals - Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Mickey in safari gear.
    • Crystal Palace - characters at all three meals - Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet
    • Akershus - princesses at all three meals - Various princesses
    • Garden Grill - characters at all three meals - Chip, Dale and friends
    Bon Apetit
