We all know a huge part of the Disney World experience is having a meal with our favorite Characters – my family’s must-do Character meals are Chef Mickey’s and the Crystal Palace (both for the breakfast buffets). At these meals, each Character “works the room” and stops at each table so everyone gets to meet them and take pictures and get autographs. In my opinion, this is a fantastic way to meet the Characters, avoid the lines for meet and greets, and save your FastPass+ for other things. The following is a list of all the Character dining available at Disney World along with which Characters you can expect to see…please keep in mind though that Character appearances and entertainment are subject to change without notice.
Insider Tip – When taking pictures during the character meals, be mindful of what is in the background and foreground! A cluttered table isn’t very pleasing to look at, and a window with bright daylight shining through will make the people in your pictures look very dark. 😉
