The ULTIMATE Guide to Character Meals in Walt Disney World

Cinderella Hold Me As A Baby When I Was At Walt Disney World Resort Disney Character Dining Room

Question. I recently saw Goofy in a tux, not 50th anniversary, but white tie, full on evening dress. (Not in this video, that I noticed but I thought y’all might still know the answer.). Where is this? I have a feeling it’s something super special but I am still curious. TIA

What is the reason they have not reopened park fare or have the characters at trattorio? Luckily we did the park fare dinner in our last trip in 2019 before the pandemic but my daughter is dying to meet Rapunzel and Eugene 🥺

Is Garden Grill’s breakfast good too?

Nephew turned 1 little bit ago so…

Stitch lol

I wasn’t a fan of the crystal springs food but the Winnie the Pooh characters there were adorable. I also loved the chipmunks at garden grille and the food there is delicious

is it true theres a premium package you can get, where you can pick 3 characters to show up to your meal?

Looking for best lunch or breakfast w characters in magic kingdom.

I like Tanya! Were can i find her?

Cape May no characters for dinner, only breakfast?

So for princess dining is Akershus or CRT better? Was leaning toward CRT as I’m planning to have the BBB makeover

Which character is a must meet every visit?

They should change out Vampirina for Bluey!!!!!

Poor tigglet 😂

We've been to Cape May twice and both times got to see the characters several times. The wait staff was extra friendly and helpful too!

1900 Park Faire will always hold a soft place in my heart. Back when my family went to Disney World in 2005 it was technically a trip celebrating my oldest brother graduating from High School. But our trip overlapped my birthday, so my mom made reservations for 1900 Park Faire. I loved it so much! I even got a little happy birthday crown that I still have. I do hope it reopens soon.

EVERYONE is overpriced ..... No interaction with a character is worth the kind of $$ they charge .. The food is never Superb... barely above average

I love this channel

Trying to decide between akershus or Cindy’s? Any recommendation?

Referring to the pandemic as the historic 2020 closures 😂

Tusker House is literally the BEST! 😍

Just wondering how character dining works for solo travellers

I remember the days when Mickey, Goofy, Donald Duck etc. walked around Disneyland. I got hugged by Mickey several times over the years, Mickey was my favorite. After Walt died, it was the beginning of the end of the MAGIC.

I’m an adult and I go nuts every time I see Mickey and the characters

Thank you, AJ!! This is a fantastic intro to the character meals! As an adult who enjoys letting my inner child out for a character meal, I want to encourage anyone who may be aprehensive to do it…enjoy it!!

We were at Hollywood and Vine last week and Minnie came to us. Mickey went to the table right beside us. I asked Minnie if I could take a picture with both her and Mickey together and she wagged her finger no. Are they not allowed to take pictures together with guests?

When my parents first got married 30 or so years ago my parents went to Disney world for their honeymoon and my mom was always a die hard fan of goofy but when they went he wasn’t doing any character dining and it was too hot for him to stay out and do meet and greets for too long so they went through all the parks without her being able to meet him so while my mom was at the bathroom my dad saw goofy and his care taker going back stage and he ran up to them and explained the whole story and goofy agreed to meet my mom as soon as she got out of the bathroom and she was blown away with how gracious the big goof was meeting her on one of the last days of their honeymoon and now I want me and my now wife to have a similar moment when we go to Disney world in a year or two

oh my goodness, Tusker House is my favorite!! I love seeing Donald (Donald #1!), Daisy (be sure to ask her if she designed her outfit!), Mickey (be careful to not ask about when he and Minnie are going to make it official!!), and (my personal most favorite pal) Goofy in their safari outfits. My last visit, I was foturnate to know who Goofy was hanging out with…so Goofy’s friend convinced him to hang out with me a bit during their backstage break (sat right down at the table with me…if you see this happen, the character and the guest have a friend in common who let the character know the guest was coming)!!! Tusker House was my favorite before this…for always!

“What r character meals, r u eating characters” had me dying laughing!!!!

Garden Grill has the best food and so much time with characters. Don’t have to worry about being at buffet when they come around. We like CRT for princesses better than Akershus but wow, the breakfast prices are through the roof now!

Thank you for this wonderful video about characters!!!! Fingers crossed for 1900 Park Fare🤞🏼🤞🏼

i was scared of Chucky from Chucky cheese....i was like 5 tbf

Thank you SO MUCH. Me personally I love the face characters more then the costume characters so usually the fab 5 are out in my book. Face characters you can actually talk too and get a response. Sad that 1900 parkway and the one of the Boardwalk haven't return yet. I was out there when the parks shut down. So I was one of the last to do 1900 parkway. Then when the parks shut down, still had everything else open for one more day. I was so looking forward to seeing and meeting Ariel, Erick, Flynn and Repunzel but they changed it and we got Goofy, Chip and Dale. I understand why but still it was sad. So I was at that place last character meal. Literally, last hour for the character dinning. Hopefully it will open up and can try it again.

garden grill absolutely deserves all the hype it gets. the food is absolutely KILLER. that salad was....the best thing i ate on my trip. and it was a salad.

I love this channel so much too!!! Planning our first Disneyworld trip and this channel has been SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much DFB!!! ❤️

AJ I am with you! Cannot tell you how right you are, best kept secret. Garden Grill, some of the best memories from our 14 Disney Trips. Been there twice so looking forward to visit #3. Pluto sits down with you and yours!

Back in November of 2016, I was at Chef Mickey's, I got a really long hug from Minnie Mouse. That was so special as part of my 25th birthday trip

Are the dining plans ever coming back, do you think? They took so much stress out of the Disney vacation equation.

My son was downright offended at the Simba waffles at Tusker House and refused to have any, as if they were mere pretenders trying to mix in with the OG Mickey Waffles 😅😅😅

We had the best time at a late dinner at Tusker House. Even got a group photo with ALL of the characters that were there.

We were super disappointed in 4 seasons when we went in Jan 2022. 3 years before it was amazing but we felt it was blah and super expensive.

When I went to WDW for the first time (2013), apparently Donald and Daisy were genuinely playing with me and my grandfather respectively. Not to mention that Baloo tried to use the autograph book as TP. I won’t forget that

I love this channel so much. So inclusive of everyone! Whether that adults with young children, older kiddos, teens or no children at all. Even solo travellers.

Can anyone tell me the name of the restaurant that shows the meal at 1.57 please 🤩

I wonder if it’s appropriate to ask Pooh and Piglet to sign your movie poster of Blood and Honey? (which started them)

We did the Pooh one with my 18 and 13 year olds and it was a blast. The characters were amazing and tears were shed

That was confusing.. a cc was required for me at every reservation and at CRT we had to pay up front. Are you just talking about cancelation timing (2hrs. vs 24hrs.) to get a refund on the payment we already made? Or are we going to be expected to pay more? 🧐

With that new Winnie the pooh horror movie and I enjoyed it personally, I wonder how many talk about that to Pooh lmao
