Hi Teri, Our family loves character meals! They are a great way to see your favorite Disney characters, without having to wait in line. In addition, the food selections at the buffets are wonderful.
Top choices for children ages 7 and 3 would be:
Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Resort. While characters are always subject to change at all character meals, you will often see: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto. The make-your-own-ice-cream sundae bar is a bit hit with kids and grown-ups alike!
The Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom is a "must-do" breakfast for our family on every trip. The interaction with Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger is fantastic. The atmosphere is beautiful and the breakfast selection is great.
Donald's Safari Breakfast in the Animal Kingdom offers a delicious buffet and a chance to see Mickey, Donald, Daisy and Goofy in their safari gear. It's a great way to start your Animal Kingdom day.
If your daughter is a Princess fan, then you'll want to reserve a meal at either:
Cinderella's Royal Table or
Princess Storybook Dining in Norway. These both allow wonderful opportunities to dine with Royalty. Our two little girls both thoroughly enjoy eating at Cinderella's Royal Table, it is truly enchanting.
Hope this helps and that you enjoy your Magical vacation!
Please let me know if I can assist you further,
Kaylene
