Hi Heather!!!
Congratulations on your first Walt Disney World Vacation!!! We had so much fun with our son at Walt Disney World when he was 18 months old!!! It is such an awesome experience to see Walt Disney World through their eyes!!!
I also love the Disney Dining Plan and the convenience and flexibility it offers on our Walt Disney World Vacations!!! It is so awesome that your dining credits include dining at restaurants which offer Character Experiences. There are a variety of restaurants around the resort that offer Characters. Instead of listing each one here, I thought it might be easier to give a link to see all the
Walt Disney Character Dining Options (please click on the previous link to view all the restaurants.) Once on that webpage, you can click on each individual restaurant and see it's location, meal offerings, and which characters are scheduled to be there.
There is only one Character Dining Experience that requires two Table Service Credits and that is the Fairytale Dining at Cinderella's Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom. The good news here though is that gratuity is included when using your Dining Plan Credits. This cannot be said for any other restaurant on the resort.
I hope this has helped and that you have a very magical vacation!!
Scott
