Hi there, Sandy! Congratulations on your third trip to the World!
It sounds as if you've had some wonderful Character Dining experiences during your past trips. My family loves dining at Disney World - we always look forward to trying new dining venues as well as revisiting our favorite locations. I can certainly recommend some unique dining experiences for you to try on your upcoming vacation!
Here are some fun and unique dining spots for the whole family which include characters:
- Be Our Guest in the Beast's Castle in Magic Kingdom (incredible new dining venue with an upscale quick-service menu and possibly a surprise visit by the Castle's Host!)
- Mickey's Backyard BBQ at Fort Wildneress Resort
- Chef Mickey's at The Contemporary Resort
- The Garden Grill in The Land Pavilion at Epcot (the entire restaurant slowly ROTATES!)
- 'Ohana at The Polynesian Resort (breakfast with Lilo & Stitch)
- Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot
Now for some special dining experiences which don't include characters:
- Dine with an Imagineer at The Hollywood Brown Derby or the Flying Fish Cafe
- Dine with an Animal Care Specialist at Sanaa at the Animal Kingdom Villas-Kidani Village
- Hoop-Dee-Do Musical Revue in Frontier Hall at Fort Wildnerness
- Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show in Luau Cove at The Polynesian Resort
You can book any of these
special Disney dining experiences online or by calling Disney Dining at 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463).
If you'd like an elegant adults-only dinner out, then Victoria and Albert's at The Grand Floridian resort is the place to go.
I hope I've given you some useful suggestions for new dining experiences to try on your third visit to Walt Disney World! Bon appetit!
