Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Anthony! How exciting you are already planning your meals! It's my favorite thing to do when a Disney trip approaches!
Character meals will require the use of a table-service entitlement (or two in certain locations such as
Cinderella's Royal Table) per person and, unfortunately, do not accept a quick-service credit. That doesn't mean, of course, that you are not allowed to book a character meal; you certainly can! You can choose to pay for your meal using cash, room charge on your Magic Band or by credit card.
Character meals offer great interaction, photo, and autograph opportunities with your favorite Disney Characters! All you'll need to worry about is having your camera and autograph book ready! Remember that
reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance; some experiences are so popular that it is advisable to make them as soon as you can!
I hope this information is what you were looking for, Anthony! I wish you and your family an incredible vacation!
Happy Disney Dining,
~Desiree
