Hi Rhonda! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm so sorry you've been unable to book any character dining experiences. Character dining is one of the most popular activities at Walt Disney World Resort and since some character dining locations have not yet reopened, the reservations are a little tough to come by.
Tusker House and
Chef Mickey's are both great options. In fact, these are two of my kids' favorites! There are a few
additional restaurants that offer character dining as well, so make sure to put them on your radar when searching for reservations.
Rhonda, I do find that if you check back frequently for reservations, you may be able to find what you're looking for. I find that if I can stay flexible and keep looking closer to my arrival date, I can often score some of the harder-to-get reservations. Personally, I will check for reservations in the morning, afternoon and at night to see if anything becomes available. Reservations are often cancelled when a Guests' day takes them in a different direction. I always try to refresh the search and click around to different time slots to see if anything pops up.
I also find it useful to switch back and forth between searching for dining reservations
online and on the
My Disney Experience app. The advantage to searching
online is that you can single out a particular restaurant to try to find available times.
Rhonda, I do have one final suggestion. There is a
Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and his Pals offered at
Ravello at
Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort. For this character meal, you will need to call the restaurant directly to check for availability during your visit.
I hope that my tips and tricks can help you secure one of these elusive character dining reservations!
Ta ta for now,
Ashley
