Hi Lindsay,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
In my opinion, there’s no better place to have Character Dining than the Walt Disney World Resort! There are different types of options across the property and the good news is that dining experiences are continuing to re-open throughout the Resort!
My suggestion would be to check out the
dining reservations for places like
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White,
Chef Mickey’s,
Hollywood & Vine, and
Tapolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera. Also, stay connected to
Disney Parks Blog. This is a great resource to see all the events and re-openings that are happening across the Walt Disney World Resort!
Since your vacation is this summer, you may also want to think about doing a
walk-up reservation for your dining experience. Not all locations have this option, but for the ones that do (ex. Chef Mickey’s) with the right timing you’ll hopefully be able to get on the walk-up list. From my experience, it’s best to get on the list early in the morning through the
My Disney Experience mobile app. You will need to be at or around the dining location to add your party, but it is so worth it!
Also remember that many
Character Experiences are back! Even if you decide not to dine with the Characters, you can still hug them, give them a high-five, and take pictures with them across the Resort.
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your vacation later this summer. If you have any other planning or vacation questions,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
