    I am visiting Florida in July 2026, not staying in any Disney resorts. I would like to book breakfast with the characters at the Disney resort would this be possible.

    Hi Helen and welcome to planDisney!

    If you ask me, there is no better way to start off a day at Walt Disney World than with a Character Breakfast. Seriously, what's not to like about enjoying delicious food whilst meeting and greeting some of your favourite Disney characters without having to wait in line? It's a win-win, if you ask me.

    I am super happy to tell you, Helen, that you do not need to be staying at a Disney Hotel in order to make a reservation for a Character Meal or, any other meal, for that matter.

    Reservations can be made 60 days in advance, via the Walt Disney World website or, My Disney Experience App (which, in actual fact, re-directs you to the Walt Disney World website).

    If you prefer, you can also make dining reservations by calling the UK Dining Reservations number.

    As you are due to arrive in early November, it looks as though you have already reached 60 days out from every day of your visit so, you should be able to make a reservation for this right now (subject to availability). Character Meals are super popular and can book up well in advance so, my best advice would be to check for availability, for your desired date(s), ASAP. 

    If your preferred restaurant or, time is not showing as available, I would recommend booking something that is, so that you have it, with the ability to modify, or, cancel this, should a more desirable reservation become available. Cancellations do happen all of the time, especially at short notice as other Guests begin to firm up their plans.

    If you're looking for some inspiration, my top three Character Breakfasts are Garden Grill Restaurant at EPCOT, Tusker House Restaurant at Animal Kingdom and the Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo and Stitch at 'Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort.

    I hope that this has answered your question, Helen. Please feel free to re-visit us, here at planDisney, if we can be of any further help with the planning of your trip. You can even ask me a question directly if you would like a UK perspective on anything at all.

    Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
