Hi Jaime,
You have lots of opportunities to dine with characters at Walt Disney World without entering one of the theme parks.
For breakfast, you can eat with Mary Poppins, Alice, the Mad Hatter, Winnie the Pooh and others at the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast at
1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. Dine with Goofy and Friends for a breakfast buffet in the
Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club resort. Or visit with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch at the Best Friends Breakfast at
'Ohana in the Polynesian.
Chef Mickey's, one of the most popular character dining experiences, is open for breakfast and dinner buffets in the Contemporary resort daily. The head Mouse and many of his friends are there.
For dinner, back at 1900 Park Fare, you can enjoy Cinderella's Happily Ever After buffet, which features Cinderella and Prince Charming.
On select dates, you also can combine dinner with characters and a show at
Mickey's Backyard BBQ at the Fort Wilderness resort.
I hope that gives you plenty of options to explore as you begin to make your plans and your dining reservations. Please let me know if I can do anything else to help.
Enjoy!
Wilma
