Walt Disney World Character Dining Guide
Dining with a Disney character on your Disney World vacation is a great and of course very unique option. But is it for you? If you decide you want to dine with Mickey Mouse ( or a Disney Princess or even a chip monk) how do you decide which Disney World character dining restaurant to go to?
I have been to so many Walt Disney World character meals that my children started to think it was normal to see Winnie the Pooh at the breakfast table!
There are many locations throughout the Disney World theme parks and resorts where you can dine with a Disney character or two.
Check out this all in one guide to why, how and where you can have a Walt Disney World Character meal.

Disney World Character Meals - Do You Really Want One?
Is this Walt Disney World character dining experience for you?
Photo By Kind Permission of Raymond Brown
Disney World character meals are an experience. A truly unique experience!
They give you lots of chances to interact with the characters. The Disney characters themselves are generally excellent - they never step out of character and to your child they can be magical.
The downsides? They are generally more expensive than other comparable Disney dining - you pay for the experience as well as the food. They can also be a little noisy. Do not go here expecting a quiet time!

Disney's Magic Kingdom Crystal Palace
Character Dining in Disney's Magic Kingdom
This is one of my personal favorites. Located at the end of Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom the usual characters are Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet.
This is a buffet restaurant with good quality options - all subject to change. A couple of the lunch and dinner entree options are so good I have the recipe ( just ask you server and they will let you have any recipe).
Breakfast buffet options include scrambled eggs, pancakes, breakfast potatoes - the usual excellent selection of breakfast buffet fare.
Some of my lunch and dinner favorites are the Ancho Chile Rubbed Atlantic Salmon and a great fruit and vegetable tofu curry. The salad selection is always great too.

Liberty Tree Tavern - Goofy's Liberate Your Appetite
Liberty Square Magic Kingdom
Lunch and dinner are served here - but characters are present ONLY at dinner. Minnie, Pluto,Donald Duck,Meeko, Chip and Dale are the characters usually in attendance at dinner.The themeing is excellent. Be transported in time to colonial America - with themed wall art, low exposed beams and colonial style furniture.
The dinner is served family style - so brought to you are your table, but you can ask for as many servings as you would like. The menu is roasted turkey breast, carved beef, and smoked pork loin, with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, herb bread stuffing.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall - Dine With A Princess
Norway World Showcase EPCOT Princess Storybook Dining
This is another one of my personal favorites. I loved this restaurant long before the Princesses arrived!Which Princesses may appear? Aurora, Snow White,Jasmine, Belle, Mulan or Mary Poppins. There is sometimes the rare treat of seeing Ariel in a ballgown so able to walk around! Cinderella appears only occassionally.
You cannot guarantee that your particular favorite Princess will appear - so warn your children of this!
I also love the themeing in this Princess storybook buffet restaurant. It was designed to look like a 14th century castle banquet hall. The low lighting welcomes you into a room with high ceilings, cast iron chandeliers, and stained glass windows.
The servers, all from Norway on the Disney student exchange program are particularly welcoming and helpful.
This is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Breakfast is served family style. It includes fruit, bacon, sausage,scrambled eggs, potato casserole, cinnamon rolls and biscuits.
Breakfast is also fun because the restaurant is open before the World Showcase section of EPCOT opens - if you finish breakfast around 11am you get a head start on the attractions in that part of the park.
Breakfast 8.30 to 10.10 am
Adult $22.99
Child $12.99
Lunch 11.40 to 2.50pm
There is a cold buffet table of Norweigan specialities. Lots of salads, cheese, excellent flat bread, cold meats and all you can eat shrimp.
As well as helping yourself to the buffet you can order a hot entree from the menu. You can order as many times as you want from such choices as braised lamb, meatballs,trout and pasta. You have a choice of dessert. If you want the more familiar try the chocolate mousse. Or for those of you wanting something a little different then the Norweigan rice cream dessert is very good.
Thankfully there is a kids menu as some kids really aren't going to want to try the more unusual items. I know this from experience - just ask me about the plate throwing incident, my son's worst restaurant moment!
The kids menu has the usual selections of pizza, hot dog,and meat balls. Also cheese ravioli ( my daughters favorite),grilled chicken breast or salmon and the Viking turkey and cheese roll up.
Lunch 11.40 to 2.50pm
Adults $24.99
Child $13.99
For dinner the system is the same as lunch and the cold buffet table choices are identical. But the entree choices are a little different. Just some of the choices are baked salmon with spicy mustard ( one of my favorites), poached cod and venison stew.
Dinner 4.20 to 8.40pm
Adult $28.99
Child $13.99
I think this buffet and menu system works well because your hot food is cooked to order, and therefore hasn't been standing on a buffet table. No matter how well food is cooked it can obviously lose some quality in buffet style set ups, so I think this is a big bonus of the Princess Storybook dining.
I love Akershus but be aware that not everyone does because of the slightly unusual style of the food. There are some choices to satisfy picky kids but a lot do not like the unusual items on the cold buffet.

Hollywood and Vine
Disney Hollywood Studios- Play and Dine at Hollywood and Vine
The decor in this buffet restaurant is art deco style cafeteria. It is a bustling and to be honest, very noisy place which makes me think of the diner in the Grease movie - lots of chrome, tile floors and bright colored red chairs!Characters appear at breakfast and lunch only.
Breakfast 8 to 11.20am
For breakfast you can join the Playhouse Disney characters Jo Jo and Goliath from Jo Jo's Circus and June and Leo from the Little Einsteins. If you want lots of singing and dancing with your breakfast this is the right place!

Adult $24.99
Child $13.99
Dinner is also buffet style with similar selections to lunch but is NOT a character meal (it can be part of the Fanstasmic dining package though).
Donald and Friends Breakfastasaurus
Disney's Animal Kingdom Breakfast at the Tusker House Restaurant
The only character dining location in Animal Kingdom - this is a buffet style breakfast only.
Characters appearing include Donald Duck, Mickey, Minnie Mouse,Goofy and Pluto.
Breakfast is served from 8 to 10.30am every day - so if you get the earliest seating you can be starting on the rides by opening time at 9am. Just don't overindulge on the buffet and then ride Everest!
The restaurant does has an African theme - but don't let this put you off as this is one of the best character meal experiences available. Try the potato leek fritata or my favorite the coconut sweet potato casserole.
Buffet selections include croissants, breakfast pizza, muffins, fruit, cereals,cinammon apple slices, scrambled eggs, western style eggs,hash browns,bacon, sausage, oatmeal.
Adult $18.99
Child $10.99
This is one of the least expensive buffet character meals and well worth a try.
Music at Disney World
1900 Park Fare - The Grand Floridian
Supercalifragilistic Breakfast
Both meals are amongst my favorite character meals and dining experiences at Disney World. The quality of the food is high - and you also get to enjoy the atmosphere of the lobby of The Grand Floridian which is one of my favorite people watching spots in Disney World!
Photo By Kind Permission of Michael Gray
1900 Park Fare serves the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast
Breakfast 8 to 11.30pm
The characters are usually Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins and Bert, and The Mad Hatter ( my all time least favorite character)! I have often seen Aladdin and Tigger there too.
There is a large selection of food here including a separate kids station ( I like the hash browns from the kids selection). There will be something for everyone on the 40 item buffet.
Cereals, scrambled eggs, strawberry soup ( you have to try it), bacon, sausage, Mickey pancakes, fruit, pastries, bread pudding (just try and resist that even if it is morning), oatmeal, corned beef hash, lobster benedict. This is just a selection of items - I could go on............
Adult $18.99
Child $10.99
Dinner 4.30 to 8.30pm

Dinner is served but there are no characters. An usual concept as you are served family style food including appetizers with dips, and entrees which are served on skewers. A great restaurant which is worth a try if you want something a little different ( and don't mind not dining with the characters).

We visited recently for our first ever family trip to WDW. Here are the character meals we were fortunate to have experienced.
Cinderella's Royal Table (Cinderella, Fairy Gofmother, Mice);
Chef Mickey's (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Donald);
Tusker House (Daisy, Donald, Goofy, Pluto);
Cape Mae Cafe (Minnie, Goofy, Donald);
Princess Storybook Arkeshus (Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, and Aurora);
Crystal Palace (Winnie, Tiger, Eeyore, Piglet);
Ohana's (Stitch, Lilo, Mickey, Pluto, Goofy).
Chef Mickey's was voted the best overall experience by everyone in our family. However, I ranked as my favorites, Arkeshus and Cinderella's Royal Table. Darling husband liked Chef Mickeys best. Darling daughter loved Arkeshus and Cape Mae Cafe. And darling son ranked bothTusker House and Ohana's equally.
If we had to do only one, it would be Chef Mickey's. Top Notch!

Awesome Lens! 5*! Our favorite is Chef Mickey's Character Breakfast at the Contemporary. My son goes crazy over the Mickey Mouse shaped waffles. I have to admit they are pretty cool! It's a fun way to start the day, there's a great variety with all you care to eat and you don't miss a lot of Park Time by catching the breakfast and can still get a full day in at the parks. My son and I recommend Chef Mickey's!

You mean I can dine with a Rat? Ratatouille is my favorite! You make me want to go back to Disney!
We'll never forget our character breakfast in California. We were seated by Belle and the Beast although (please forgive us) we didn't know who they were. However, we knew who Minnie was -- my husband's secret Girlfriend!!! My children loved it. I loved the decor!
The food, was good, breakfast food. You can never forget a waffle shaped like a Mouse! My son will never forget his Dad adding cream to his fruit loops.
Thanks for the memory. This page will be a lot of help to many people, I am sure!
