Hi Stephanie,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Hooray for securing advanced dining reservations at two of our favorite character experiences!
Autograph books are certainly welcome. Be sure to also bring a few pens, including a larger one that is easier for some of the characters to grip. Cinderella's Royal Table is quite the magical experience. Our girls were in awe the first time they dined there. Breakfast at Hollywood & Vine is also always on our to-do list. We actually like to do a pre-park opening dining reservation at Hollywood & Vine between 8:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Entering the park early adds a little extra magic to our visit and, at Disney's Hollywood Studios, we have loved getting into the park early so that the girls can go straight to sign-up for
Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple.
Stephanie, remember to bring your own camera. Although some character dining experiences have a Disney PhotoPass photographer stationed there, not all of them do. You will especially want to take pictures of your daughter greeting all of the characters! Other favorite character dining experiences of ours are Chef Mickey's, The Crystal Palace and 1900 Park Fare. Also, remember to link all of your dining reservations to your My Disney Experience Account. Once I know our dining reservations are linked, I use the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to keep track of where we are supposed to be while we are in the parks.
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
