    We are planning our first Disney vacation for our daughter. She will turn 4 while we are there. We are getting the dining plan in our package, but I am wondering if we will need to upgrade that in order to take her to some character meals.

    Hi Amy!

    Happy almost birthday to your princess!!!

    I'm happy to report that you absolutely do NOT need to upgrade your dining plan to take part in some amazing character meals (assuming, of course, that you have the standard dining plan and not the quick-service plan).  Character meals, including Chef Mickey's, Cape May Buffet (breakfast), Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House, Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner at 1900 Park Fare, and many others require just one Table Service credit from your meal plan.

    If your little girl loves princesses, I recommend 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian for Dinner or Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus at Epcot.  Both are sure to delight her!  If she's more of a Playhouse Disney fan, I love Play n' Dine at Hollywood Studios, where the Little Einsteins and others make the rounds while their fans enjoy a great buffet!  Finally, if she's a fan of all things Winnie the Pooh, head over to the Crystal Palace at the Magic Kingdom.

    Have a wonderful trip!
