Ranking the Frog Family's Favorite Disney World Character Dining Experiences

Character dining is one of the easiest ways to meet a whole host of characters and fill up for (or wind down after) a fun-filled day in the parks! While we have our complete guide to Disney World character dining, we wanted to give our froggy favorites. With so many characters to meet and delicious food to taste at Walt Disney World Resort's restaurants, it can be difficult to decide on the best character dining experience for your family. When it comes to deciding on the best character dining at Disney World, we're hoppy to remove the guesswork! We’ve ranked all of the restaurants offering character dining based on the characters (of course!), food and atmosphere to help you choose the best fit for your family vacation.

Keep in mind, some of Disney's best character dining takes place at Disney's Resort hotels. While you don't have to be staying at the hotel to partake in a character meal, it's another good reason to stay on-site (book with us to save some extra green!).

Best Character Dining at Disney World

There are thirteen character dining locations at Walt Disney World Resort and nearly all of them have returned to normal operations. The only character dining locations that have not returned yet are 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at Disney's BoardWalk. There are no expected dates yet, but we hope they return in the future. Below, we've ranked the best character dining Disney World has to offer based on if you're looking for Mickey and friends, royalty or a variety!

Note: The characters listed are the characters that generally appear at these dining locations. They are subject to change. There may be more, fewer or even different characters during your visit.

Character Dining with Mickey and Friends

1. Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort

Minnie at Topolino’s Terrace

 

As the latest Disney character dining option, Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends at Topolino's Terrace at Disney's Riviera Resort has one of the most adorably themed character dining experiences. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy have arrived at the European Riviera to study different art forms. Their brand-new outfits reflect their areas of expertise: Mickey the painter, Minnie the poet, Donald the sculptor and Daisy the dancer. We think the character interactions are the highlight of this character breakfast. We didn't feel rushed during our individual interactions, and the characters made multiple rounds. Lily twirled around in her dress alongside Daisy in her tutu!

The prix fixe menu includes shared pastries, an entrée and fresh juice or coffee. Entrées include spiced sausage hash, wood-fired butcher's steak, smoked salmon, sour cream waffles and more. The tadpoles can create their own combination of an entrée (Mickey waffle dippers, scrambled eggs or fruit and yogurt) and two sides (roasted potatoes, fruit cup, granola, bacon or sausage) from the kids menu. While the food is undeniably delicious, it's on the pricier end for the amount you get, compared to the breakfast buffets.

Hop on over to our Topolino's Terrace foodie review for more details!

Pricing: $45 per adult, $29 per child (breakfast); open for dinner without characters

Why we love it: Beautiful location, unique character outfits and top-notch character interactions

2. Tusker House Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park

Located in the Harambe Village of Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Tusker House adds vibrant flavor and fun to your Disney day! Tusker House offers an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet-style dining experience and an opportunity to snap photos of Donald Duck and friends in safari gear.

We love heading straight to Kilimanjaro Safaris when the park opens in the morning before settling in at Tusker House for a hearty breakfast! The Jungle Juice is a delicious and refreshing treat. The table also gets a pastries basket filled with safari bread, multigrain croissants and cornbread, served with several spreads. The breakfast platter includes scrambled eggs, Mickey and Simba waffles, Durban chicken and egg curry, plus the usual bacon, sausage and roasted potatoes. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

For lunch and dinner, you can get plentiful Moroccan-spiced beef, spit-roasted herb chicken, Cape Malay green curry shrimp, berber-marinated pork, African-inspired salads and assorted house-made bread. Sides include veggies, jasmine rice, Impossible Durban curry, roasted potatoes and house-made mac and cheese. Top off your meal with animal-inspired mini desserts (or chocolate mousse, which is available upon request).

At Tusker House, there is something for everyone's tastes, the food is delicious and you get to dance and sing with classic Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse himself! Tusker House serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with character meet-and-greets at all three meals. Explore our foodie review for more details!

Pricing: $45 per adult, $29 per child (breakfast); $59 per adult, $38 per child (lunch/dinner)

Why we love it: Delicious food and great character experiences

3. Chip 'n' Dale's Harvest Feast at Garden Grill at EPCOT

Farmer Mickey at Garden Grill

 

The Garden Grill claims the no. 3 spot on our list of best Disney World character dining thanks to its unique atmosphere, hearty meals and the ample time characters spend at each table. The restaurant, located in The Land pavilion at EPCOT, slowly rotates as guests dine, giving them a unique perspective of the Living with the Land boat ride below and a changing background throughout the meal. The food is classic American fare in bountiful portions, served all-you-can-eat, family style. Heaping plates of fresh-from-The-Land salad and vegetables, along with buttermilk mashed potatoes, accompany turkey breast slices with gravy, grilled beef with chimichurri and herb and leek stuffing to appease every taste. (And dessert — berry shortcake with whipped cream — is yummy too!)

We never feel rushed with the characters at Garden Grill. Chip 'n' Dale, Pluto and Mickey clad in his farmer’s overalls meet and play with guests as they dine. Every time we visit, Lily and Tad love posing with Pluto and playing with Chip 'n' Dale! (By the way, do you know how to tell Chip 'n' Dale apart? It's easy. Chip has a black nose, like a chocolate chip! Dale's nose is red.) Garden Grill is open with characters for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hop on over to our Garden Grill foodie review for more details!

Pricing: $42 per adult, $27 per child (breakfast); $55 per adult, $36 per child (lunch/dinner)

Why we love it: The ambiance and fresh, hearty food

4. Hollywood & Vine at Disney's Hollywood Studios

One of the best character dining restaurants for the littlest tadpoles is Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Disney Junior Play 'n Dine breakfast satisfies the entire family with a hearty buffet featuring waffles, omelets, pastries and more. Disney Junior favorites such as Doc McStuffins, Fancy Nancy, Vampirina and Roadster Goofy interact with the little ones.

During lunch and dinner time, Minnie Mouse and her friends host seasonal dinner parties with outfits and decor to reflect the season. Character guests usually include Minnie, Mickey, Goofy and Pluto ... in their best seasonal outfits, of course. Head over to our Frog Family review for more details!

Pricing: $42 per adult, $27 per child (breakfast); $59 per adult, $38 per child (lunch/dinner)

Why we love it: Perfect for tadpoles and a great seasonal option

5. Cape May Café at Disney's Beach Club Resort

Minnie at Cape May Cafe

Minnie Mouse loves to throw a beach bash! Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast at Disney's Beach Club Resort gathers Minnie, her BFF Daisy, Donald and Goofy in their beachy best to start the day sunny side up. Breakfast includes a mix of items from pastries, omelets, yogurt parfaits, Mickey and Minnie waffles, brioche French toast, crepes, scrambled eggs, bacon and more. This is a relaxed, casual dining experience and a perfect choice if you're staying at one of the EPCOT-area resort hotels. Hop on over to our full foodie review for more details!

Pricing: $45 per adult, $29 per child (breakfast); open for dinner without characters

Why we love it: Its variety of food and great character interactions

6. Chef Mickey’s at Disney's Contemporary Resort

Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey's

Disney's Contemporary Resort offers a classic family-style restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. At Chef Mickey’s Family Feast, the Fab Five (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy) join guests for their meals. The restaurant overlooks Bay Lake, as well as the 90-foot-high mural by Mary Blair that has become an icon of the Contemporary Resort.

For breakfast, enjoy fresh fruit, Mickey waffles, banana bread french toast, loaded potato cheese casserole, scrambled eggs, bacon and other morning favorites. At dinner, offerings include caesar salad, potato gnocchi, roasted garlic potato gratin, prime rib, roasted turkey breast and more. With so many options, this is a great choice for groups with diverse palates, as well as picky eaters. Chef Mickey’s is a crowd-pleaser with a few surprises.

Pricing: $51 per adult, $33 per child (breakfast); $62 per adult, $39 per child (dinner)

Why we love it: The classic Fab Five characters in a fun location (wave to the monorail as it goes by!)

The Four Seasons also hosts a Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and His Pals. However, since it is not an official Disney Resort, it was not included in this ranking.

Character Dining with Royalty

1. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT

Character Dining – Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Cinderella with four girls

Akershus is the ultimate princess party, located in EPCOT's Norway pavilion, which is now home to Royal Sommerhus and Frozen Ever After. The dining room is set in a medieval castle with a buffet feast fit for royalty! Our little princess, Lily, loves meeting her favorite princesses. After meeting Belle in her beautiful yellow ballgown, Snow White, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Ariel and Cinderella are on rotation, ready to mingle and march. (Elsa and Anna do not appear at Akershus, but you can find them greeting guests nearby at Royal Sommerhus.)

You’ll find familiar fare at the banquet tables, along with some Norwegian delights such as the breakfast smorgasbord (Leap loves the hashbrowns!) or the traditional Norwegian meatballs at lunch and dinner. It’s impossible not to feel like royalty as we dine at Akershus, and I love seeing the smile on Lily’s face as she gets to visit with her favorite princesses. Tadpoles also get to participate in a princess processional, dancing and waving alongside their favorite characters!

Akershus is a great alternative to Cinderella's Royal Table if you aren't able to get that coveted reservation.

Pricing: $53 per adult, $34 per child (breakfast), $63 per adult, $41 per child (lunch/dinner)

Why we love it: Great opportunity to see lots of princesses

2. Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom

Cinderella’s Royal Table — Cinderella at photo backdrop

When it comes to Disney, nothing says "dream come true" like dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table in the heart of Magic Kingdom, inside Cinderella Castle. You’re greeted by Cinderella herself as you enter the castle and ascend the spiral staircase (or take the gilded elevator) to the banquet hall above.

At Cinderella's Royal Table, you can look out the castle windows overlooking Fantasyland and visit with princesses such as Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine and Snow White as you enjoy gourmet prix fixe dishes such as duck two-ways, beef tenderloin or chickpea panisse. The food is exquisite, but the real showstoppers are the desserts! Try the “Clock Strikes Twelve," dark chocolate mousse with a caramel and crunchy praline center served with chocolate sauce and hazelnut gelato, or "Jaq & Gus," cheesecake with seasonal flavors and garnishes, to please even the tiniest tummies.

Princesses are also given a magic wand to take home with them, while princes are given a small souvenir sword. To make things a little extra magical, tadpoles are given a wishing star and are prompted to literally wish upon their star with a wave of their wand or sword. Lily has kept her wishing star for years!

Cinderella's Royal Table is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're lucky enough to be dining during the fireworks, you'll get a spectacular view with the lights turned down and the music piped in! This is one of the toughest places to get a table in all the land, so make sure to book this advance dining reservation early — preferably a full 60 days ahead! Check out our complete guide to Cinderella's Royal Table for more details.

Pricing: $65 per adult, $39 per child (breakfast); $79 per adult, $47 per child (lunch/dinner)

Why we love it: Its location and ambiance (how can you beat eating inside the castle?!)

3. Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White at Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort

Ranking Disney World Character Dining Locations – Snow White

Heigh-ho, it's off to Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort we go for a character dinner featuring Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy and the Evil Queen! Enjoy appetizers and then choose your entrée from a prix fixe menu, including Royal Prime Rib Roast, Brother’s Grimm roasted chicken or a vegetarian option — A Stroll Through Nature — featuring butternut squash, arugula and gnocchi. Rounding off the menu are cocktails, mocktails and beer and wine from Oregon and Washington state, as well as some sinfully delicious desserts such as Fairy Tale Gooseberry Pie and, of course, a  “poison” apple. This Disney character dining location is notable not only because of its delicious eats but also because of its atmosphere. Guests dine in a rustic Enchanted Forest to mimic the iconic movie, complete with twinkling lights. Hop over to our foodie review for more royal details!

Pricing: $65 per adult, $39 per child (dinner)

Why we love it: Elegant atmosphere and rare characters

4. Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno at Disney's Boardwalk

Currently, Trattoria al Forno is open, but the character dining experience is temporarily unavailable.

Located at Disney's BoardWalk (one of our favorite areas on Disney property), Trattoria al Forno is home to a breakfast celebration featuring some of Lily's and my royal favorites: Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Ariel and Prince Eric. Each is welcomed with a royal entrance and individually makes their way to your table. (Don't shy away from asking them questions ... Flynn had some hilarious conversations with us!) Brief interactive activities are planned for little ones, as well!

The Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast offers some of the most delectable breakfast items out of any character meal offered. The prix fixe menu starts with pastries for the table and an individual fruit starter before ordering your entrées. King Triton's Shipwreck al Forno is a must-try breakfast calzone that has quickly become one of my top three favorite meals at Disney World. Exquisite drinks are available, as well ... if you're a Bloody Mary fan, the Caprese Bloody Mary is out of this world!

Why we love it: A royal-themed experience with rarely-seen princes

Character Dining with Unique Characters

1. The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom

The Crystal Palace – Card with Winnie the Pooh and friends

Another great restaurant for the little ones is The Crystal Palace, nestled beside the hub in Magic Kingdom. The open, Victorian-style setting is a bright and verdant backdrop for meeting friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, including Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet and the willy, nilly, silly ole bear himself, Pooh. The restaurant currently serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with Pooh and friends present at all meals.

For lunch or dinner, you get a choice of an entree: crispy-fried chicken, fire-roasted prime rib of beef, Southern-fried cauliflower, brown sugar-glazed bone-in pork chop or blackened catfish and shrimp. Be aware of the timing here. If you are finishing your meal around the same time a parade or fireworks display is ending, it can get a little crowded as you try to make your way back out into the park.  For more information, check out our complete Crystal Palace guide!

Pricing: $45 per adult, $29 per child (breakfast); $59 per adult, $38 per child (lunch/dinner)

Why we love it: Lots of buffet options and very family-friendly

2. ‘Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

'Ohana – Stitch posing with kids

Dynamic duo Lilo and Stitch, along with other classic Disney characters such as Mickey and Pluto, join guests for the Best Friends Breakfast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Breakfast is the standard fare of scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, sausage, bacon and fruit served 'ohana style. If you’re looking for a Polynesian-inspired breakfast, head over to Kona.

The real allure of ‘Ohana is at dinner time. No traditional Disney characters appear during dinner, but the evening meal is certainly not lacking in fun as entertainers sing, tell stories and invite guests to join them for games and dancing. The dinner menu at ‘Ohana features our favorite pineapple-coconut bread, followed by salad, pork dumplings, honey-coriander chicken wings, meat skewers and vegetables, finished with ‘Ohana’s specialty, bread pudding a la mode with caramel sauce. With the right timing, dinner at ‘Ohana also provides a spectacular view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Check out our full review for more information!

Pricing: $45 per adult, $29 per child (breakfast); open for dinner without characters

Why we love it: Delicious food and rare characters

3. 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

1900 Park Fare is temporarily closed.

1900 Park Fare breakfast - Mary Poppins

1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offers a delightfully different experience for every time of day. At the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast, enjoy a buffet of made-to-order omelets, carved ham, and of course, Mickey waffles. Cheery characters such as Mary Poppins, Alice, the Mad Hatter, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh stop by to say good morning! In the afternoon, the venue is host to the Wonderland Tea Party, during which kids snack on children’s tea (apple juice) and cupcakes that they get to decorate themselves, as well as some other tasty teatime treats. During the hour-long tea break, our favorite tea-loving characters, usually Alice and the Mad Hatter, entertain their guests with stories and crafts.

Royal princesses also have the option of partaking in tea in the Grand Floridian's tea room on select mornings with Rose Petal, a magical rose from Aurora's garden, and sometimes even Aurora herself! At Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner, mealtime is a truly regal affair as each family is welcomed as the honored guests of Cinderella and Prince Charming. Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella are usually in attendance, greeting guests as they dine on a buffet of international salads, meats, seafood and sides. There are also plenty of American staples such as macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza and chicken tenders for the tadpoles.

No matter what time you dine, keep an eye (and ear) out for “Big Bertha,” a turn-of-the-century organ crafted in France that plays while you eat, setting the mood for a whimsical meal at 1900 Park Fare.

Trying to make a reservation at Akershus, but there appears to be no times available at all. Are they open to reservations now or did the next 60 days just get booked up within minutes?

Hi Lisa!

Reservations for Akershus opened on Oct. 24. It's a popular restaurant so reservations can go quickly (especially since it's just reopening for the first time since 2019). We encourage you to keep checking every so often. Cancellations can happen, even during the days leading up to your visit. On the day of, you could also try to see if the restaurant is accepting any walk-ins either by asking the host outside or checking to see if you can join the Walk-Up List in the My Disney Experience app.

Hoppy planning!

Hi, we’ve booked Crystal Palace for dinner in October 22 as we wanted somewhere to eat before staying later for the fireworks. It says on the website that Character Dining returns in September….do you know if that is the case? We didn’t expect character dining that day as everything was quickly booked up but could we have got lucky?

If you are still looking for last minute reservations, don’t lose faith. Our trip is in one week and we just booked a Tusker House dinner, a Cinderella’s Royal Table pre park opening breakfast, and a Hollywood and Vine lunch. It looks like Tusker House recently released tables, as well Cinderella’s. Many were snapped up, but there’s a lot of movement, so just keep checking regularly.

Reply
Mar 7, 2022 at 5:07 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Marisue!

While it could be that the Disney Resort hotel guests have already booked them (since they can book reservations for their entire trip once it hits the 60-day mark instead of having to make dining reservations on separate days once each day hits the 60-day mark), it can also sometimes be that restaurants will release reservations at a later time. For instance, back in this past November, we ate at Hollywood & Vine, and we grabbed a reservation only a few days in advance after the restaurant distributed a last-minute batch. Cancellations and late releases do happen though! Unfortunately, we don't know of any consistent patterns, as we've gotten hard-to-get reservations at random times such as 12:40 a.m. or 7:30 p.m. - it can be truly random. Our best advice is just to keep looking occasionally — you never know when something may pop up.

If I'm arriving at Bay Lakes on 4/27, when can I make dining reservations. Can I make dining reservations for the whole trip at that time or do I have to wait 60 days for each reservation.

Reply

Hi Mark!

Everyone can start making dining reservations 60 days in advance. Are you staying on-site as a Disney Resort hotel guest or staying at a hotel off property? If you are a Disney Resort hotel guest, then at that 60 day mark, you may make dining reservations for your whole trip (up to 10 days) at that time, but if you're staying off-site, then you would need to wait 60 days for each reservation you wish to make.

Hi Evan!

There aren't any character dining experiences with Anna and Elsa, but they take turns greeting guests from a distance in front of the Royal Sommerhus in Norway at EPCOT. While it's not individualized time, you could also see them during the "For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration" show at Hollywood Studios.

Hi Ellen!

There isn't a difference (nor do you have better chances) for particular party sizes compared to others. It really depends on the restaurant, which all have varying allocations for different sized tables/parties. And sometimes, even if you're a party of two, you may be seated at a table for four. However, we do strongly recommend booking the reservation for a larger party size, as it's easier to remove people from your party than to add them.

It's really hard to figure out where to make reservations right now. I was really hoping that more of the dining experiences would be coming back by October.

Hi Dori!

There's no word on this coming back just yet - you'll be able to catch Alice, Pooh and Mary Poppins in the parks though! Pooh and the Hundred Acre Woods gang come down Main Street in a trolley in Magic Kingdom. Mary Poppins and Alice can be found in the UK pavilion in EPCOT, and Pooh is sometimes catching butterflies over near the Imagination pavilion.

Hi there

Have you guys reviewed the character buffet breakfast at Four Seasons? It seems to get fantastic write ups in regards to the quality of the food and the character interactions - but for some reason doesn’t seem to make many lists for “top character dining experiences”. Would love your thoughts. We are leaning toward this, and doing it on a non park day so we can have a more leisurely brunch. And just the idea of going on some of those rides straight after eating a buffet breakfast is hard to take!! Haha. Is that a worthy consideration - big breakfasts and then stomach losing rides could be counter productive?!

Hi Lance!

Unfortunately there aren't any locations with both princesses and the Fab Five - it's generally one or the other. There are some locations, such as Crystal Palace, where there are characters from the Hundred Acre Wood, or Storybook Dining at Wilderness Lodge with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (and the Queen too!). There's also a Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno on the BoardWalk that features Flynn Rider, Rapunzel, Ariel and Prince Eric that may be a good compromise for the littles :)

Unfortunately there are no characters available at Be Our Guest during breakfast (though the Beast is there for lunch and dinner).

If you are just wanting to see the inside of the castle, breakfast is a great way to do so (especially since it's quick!). Hope this helps!

Hi I would like to know if there is any dinning with characters without having to have tickets to park? Any of the hotels? I would just like to take my grandchild to see characters. Thank you

Hi there!

Yes, there are a few! You can find character dining at the Contemporary Resort (Chef Mickey's), the Grand Floridian Resort (1900 Park Fare), Wilderness Lodge (Storybook Dining at Artist Point), Polynesian Resort ('Ohana), Beach Club (Cape May Cafe), Riviera Resort (Topolino's Terrace), Swan Dolphin (Garden Grove), Four Seasons (Goofy & Pals Character Breakfast) and on the Boardwalk at Trattoria al Forno. For any of these options, you wouldn't need a park ticket. You can learn more about each of these options here. Have fun with the grandkids!

Thanks for all of the detailed information regarding character dinners! My husband and I are planning our 3rd anniversary trip (Nov 2020) -- heading to Disney World (my first time, he used to go all the time as a kid).

Other than the royal table dinner w/ Cinderella (which has the Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters), do you know of any other character dining experiences that have villains? Or is this something that's best left to the meet-and-greet opportunities throughout the parks?

Also... even though its kind of new -- any character dining available at Galaxy's Edge? (star wars land)

Hi there!

Hoppy early anniversary! As far as villains at dining experiences, the Evil Queen is also available at The Wilderness Lodge at Artist's Point. You'll also find the seven dwarfs and Snow White there. Leap and I went sans tadpoles and absolutely loved the experience! That's it by way of dining with villains at this time, outside of Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters, which you mentioned. No character dining experiences are available in Galaxy's Edge just yet, either. Hope this helps - have a great trip!

Hoppy birthday to your princess! As of right now, there is not a dining experience available with Anna and Elsa. However, they are available for a meet and greet in Norway at Epcot just next to Akershus, where your princess could dine with other princesses such as Belle, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. We hope she has a wonderful birthday trip!

Would you recommend that guests dress up for the character dinner? We have a character dinner with the princesses and hope to do rides before the dinner so don't want to wear or carry costumes if we don't have to. Looking for suggestions. Thanks

Sep 16, 2019 at 10:03 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Jody!

You certainly can! If you do, we recommend that you keep things simple and comfortable so that it's good for all-day wear. For Lily, this means leaving the wands and accessories that could easily be left behind or dropped at home, keeping things above the knee so they don't drag or get tripped over and wearing tennis shoes. We're also big fans of simple cotton since it can be hot or rainy (there are a ton of super cute options at places like Kohl's, Target and Walmart) I usually pack a change of clothes for her in our bag, too. Our niece, who is a tween, does some Disneybounding to help her feel "themed" to the occasion, while also staying comfortable - comfort is the name of the game! Hope this helps!

Hi Nancy!

As long as you have valid park admission for the restaurant in question, you'll be able to enjoy character dining! For example, if you're eating at Akershus, you'd need valid park admission to Epcot for the day; if you're eating at Cinderella's Royal Table, you'd need valid park admission to Magic Kingdom. The price varies per location (and also meal time), so we recommend seeing which dining options meet your needs here.

Hi Carolyn!

You can purchase MagicBands directly from the Disney Store, either online before you arrive, or in just about any shop once you arrive to the parks :) Once you have the band, you'll want to log into My Disney Experience to link the MagicBand. We find it easiest to do this ahead of time so that you can just show up and start to use the bands immediately in the turnstiles, but it certainly can also be done once you arrive.

May 30, 2019 at 4:18 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Louise!

We toadally understand - it can be a lot at once, but we are hoppy to help! There are more or less two dates you'll need to keep in mind when scheduling your Disney World vacation: when your dining reservation window opens (180 days in advance of your visit) and when you can book your FastPass reservations (either 60 days from your vacation if you are staying on Disney property, or 30 if you are staying off-site). Both of these windows open up at 7 a.m. Eastern, so we recommend trying as soon as you're able for some of the more high-demand dining and FastPass reservations ... they go quickly! Because they open first, we tend to book our vacation around the difficult to get reservations; it can vary when these are available, but in October, you should have more luck on a weekday than a weekend. You can find our timeline for planning here, with links to a lot of related resources so that you can get hoppin' on your vacation planning. Hope this helps! Please let us know if we can help with any additional questions!

We have 8:35 reservations at Tusker House - our first ever sit-down Disney meal ????. AK opens at 9:00 that day. Trying to eat and then get in line for Flight of Passage (no Fast Passes left????). Do you think we'll be able to eat and beat some of the crowds to FOP?

Reply
May 30, 2019 at 4:26 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Carol!

Breakfast, especially a character breakfast, usually takes about an hour to complete, which means you'll be getting out just as others will be getting into the park. At park opening, Flight of Passage's wait time automatically gets pushed to 120 minutes or so because most folks head straight for it (even for Extra Magic Hour admission, the wait time was showing 60 minutes a half an hour before park opening). We recommend getting to Tusker House as early as you're able (you'll be able to enter Animal Kingdom a half an hour before your reservation, so right around 8) in case you can be seated a few minutes early. It's certainly possible if you speed through breakfast, but we'd still count on a wait! Keep checking for FastPass reservations throughout the day just in case there's a cancellation!

Hi Lisa!

Unfortunately, Ohana is one of the most popular dining reservations to snag in advance. While Disney World does not release more reservations, other park goers do change plans and cancel reservations. We recommend checking in often to see if you can snag a canceled reservation (including while you're in the parks!) Good luck!

Hi Kim!

Akershus is $35-$60 per adult, so a little more wallet-friendly than CRT. We really love their breakfast (especially if you have early risers!) Not only can you enter the park half an hour before your dining reservation, but also, you'll exit right next to Frozen, which enables you to fill little tummies, meet all of the princesses and then ride a pretty in-demand ride right away. You'll meet similar characters (minus Cinderella, of course) and get to participate in a mini parade, as well.

Tusker House is a great option - it's got a delicious dinner buffet with something for even the pickiest of eaters, AND you'll get a visit from Safari Donald, Daisy and Mickey. Make sure to note his birthday when making your dining reservation and when you check in - you may get a little something special during your dinner to celebrate!

Hi Lorie!

This can vary depending on the time of year, so Disney lists this as a range on their website ($35-$59.99 per adult). In our experience, you can expect to spend around $38 per adult and $23 per child (3-9) for the breakfast buffet, plus tax and gratuity.

Great question. The VIP seats to Fantasmic aren't at an outright extra cost, as they are included with your dining package at Hollywood and Vine, but the cost for your dining experience will be slightly higher than it would be at Chef Mickey's ($46 per person at Hollywood and Vine vs. $35 per person at Chef Mickey's).
