Hi there, Michael!
You must be excited for your very first Walt Disney World vacation! November is a great time of the year to go too.
My family just loves dining with Characters when we're on a Disney vacation, and there really are so many to choose from. One thing is the same across the board at just about every Character meal, the
all you care to enjoy buffets have outstanding food that is sure to please everyone's palate! Be sure to check out the kids' sections too as there are some pretty special items there!
Since this is your very first visit, I'm going to recommend that you give
Chef Mickey's a whirl! You'll definitely want to meet The Big Cheese at his restaurant! You'll be able to get autographs and pose for pictures with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald Duck there. We also really love
The Crystal Palace where you can meet Characters such as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore! These restaurants are very popular and reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance either
online or by calling 407.WDW.DINE [939.3463].
You can purchase an autograph book at the gift shops in the Parks and at the Resorts. You can also do something out of the ordinary and buy a plain, light-colored pillow case and have the Characters autograph all over that with different colored permanent markers! I think that's a really fun way to make those memories last long after you're home from your magical vacation!
I sure hope this helps with your decision, Michael! Please feel free to come back again with any other questions you may have!
Wishing you Pixie Dusted vacation planning!
