Character Meals at Walt Disney World

Avatar photoSeptember 13, 2023 by Sarah Lemp

Character Meals

Hey there, fellow Disney enthusiasts! Are you ready to embark on a culinary adventure like no other? Well, you’re in for a treat (literally) because today, we’re diving into the enchanting world of Character Meals at Walt Disney World. From Mickey and Minnie to Cinderella and Goofy, these delightful dining experiences offer the perfect blend of delicious food and unforgettable encounters with your favorite Disney characters. So, let’s put on our Mickey ears and get ready to explore all the fantastic character meals available in the most magical place on Earth!

Important note about dining in the Disney parks: To dine at an in-park table-service restaurant, you need a confirmed dining reservation for the total number of Guests—regardless of age, plus a theme park reservation and valid admission for the same park on that same date for each Guest ages 3 and up. Dining reservations do not guarantee access to a park, and Park Hopper availability may change daily. Guests should book in-park dining at the park where they have a Disney Park Pass reservation.

Character Meals that Don’t Require a Park Ticket

First off, let’s take a look at the options you have without purchasing a park ticket. If you’re vacationing near Disney World but skipping the parks to save money, a character meal is the perfect way to sneak in some Disney magic! I’ve known so many people over the years, that didn’t have the budget for a full Disney day, but chose to do a character meal instead. At around $60 a person, character meals aren’t cheap by any means, but compared to a park ticket and food for the day, you’ll still come out ahead.

Don’t think of it as a meal, think of it as a dining experience! Here are the character meals you can book without having to purchase a park ticket:

  • Topolino’s Terrace: *Breakfast only! Located at the Riviera Resort. While Topolino’s is open for breakfast and dinner, there are only characters at breakfast. We love the breakfast experience at Topolino’s! Mickey and friends are present in super cute attire, unique to the Riviera Resort.
  • Cape May Café: *Breakfast only! Located at the Beach Club Resort. Cape May Café is open for breakfast and dinner, but characters are only present at breakfast. Minnie’s Beach Blast Breakfast features Minnie and her friends. Characters are subject to change.
  • 1900 Park Fare: Currently unavailable
  • Chef Mickey’s: Breakfast and dinner options available. Located at the Contemporary Resort. Mickey and his friends make their rounds and visit with each table as you enjoy the all-you-care-to-eat buffet.
  • Ohana: Breakfast only! Located at the Polynesian Resort. The Best Friends breakfast features characters from Lilo and Stitch.
  • Story Book Dining at Artist Point: Dinner only! Located at the Wilderness Lodge. Featuring a Prix Fixe menu of American and German cuisine. Characters include Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy and the Evil Queen.

Parking for character meals at Disney resorts: In most cases, if you show proof of your dining reservation as you enter the resort parking lot, you will be granted entrance to park for free.

Kid’s Meals and Special Diets

As a general rule, Disney is absolutely amazing when it comes to kid’s meals for picky eaters, as well as allergy-friendly options and plant-based options. Some restaurants include plant-based options right on the main menu, but if they don’t, they are always available upon your request. The same goes for allergy-friendly options and special diets. If you have any concerns, Disney does a great job at accommodating. You can also almost always count on their being classic kid meals available (like mac and cheese or chicken strips at dinner and Mickey shaped waffles at breakfast).

  • Check for Last Minute Reservations: There will always be people that make last minute cancelations, which means you may be able to snag a last-minute reservation! If you haven’t been able to secure a spot, stay flexible and check the day before or even the day of for openings!

Utilize Mouse Dining Alerts: I cannot stress enough how amazing Mouse Dining is for making hard-to-get dining reservations. They offer a free membership and paid options that will send you alerts when spots open up. Be ready, as soon as you get an alert, to grab your spot!

Sharing some of my favorite AMAZON dresses to wear Sharing some of my favorite AMAZON dresses to wear to the Disney parks! I like wearing lightweight dresses that feel casual but also a little bit princessy. And why not!? All linked in my Amazon shop. Find it in my stories and in my profile.
Comments overhead while walking around the Polynes Comments overhead while walking around the Polynesian Resort with 40th birthday balloons: “40 was ok. 50 killed me.” “No way! 40?” “4 was a good year. Oh, there’s a zero!” “Have a magical day!” and “Wait, when is your birthday again?” (said by my 15 year old son). Happy birthday to me! I’m officially 40!! 😆🥳
Why should you choose to stay at @grandlegacyhotel Why should you choose to stay at @grandlegacyhotel while visiting Disneyland?? Here’s a few reasons we love it:

💜 Walkability - We did not rent a car while we were in Anaheim. Grand Legacy is literally across the street from Disneyland, and just a couple blocks away from countless shops and restaurants. 
💜 Value - You can’t beat the price when you look at all you get while staying at Grand Legacy compared to other area hotels.
💜 Amenities - Our luxury plus room included a mini fridge, coffee maker and microwave, which is almost a necessity when staying multiple days. There are also beverages and snacks in the lobby, a pool, hot tub, and laundry facilities.
💜 Great for Families - We have stayed here with our family as well. There are lots of great options for families, including connecting rooms.
💜 View - There are many spots on property where you can view the Disneyland fireworks at night. Even though our room was not advertised as a firework view room, we were still able to catch a glimpse of them. There are rooms available with even better views of the theme parks and fireworks. We also enjoyed watching the fireworks from up top at @thefifthoc where they dim the lights and play Disneyland music during the show.

I felt like this footage deserved a permanent home I felt like this footage deserved a permanent home in my feed 😆 Pay close attention to Jay’s face as he prepares to ride Rise of the Resistance for the first time!! This ride has remained my favorite ride at Disney World since it opened but I have never been able to convince Jay to ride it. He does tend to get motion sickness on rides, and had said he would ride it if the wait was less than 10 minutes. I figured that meant he would never get to ride it, but the other night after a storm, the park had cleared out and we saw a 10 minute wait right before closing!! Jay now says it’s his favorite ride ever - his previous favorite was Frozen 😁

To end the night, we all gathered in front of the Millennium Falcon to light up our Ahsoka sabers! 🧡

First time in Vegas! It’s been fun to see everyt First time in Vegas! It’s been fun to see everything, but in reality, we came for the cheap flights and close proximity to the National Parks 😆 We’re celebrating our anniversary today with dinner at the (Vegas) Eiffel Tower, but we’ve been on the go everyday seeing the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, and Zion National Park!

Our 20th anniversary trip is officially off to a g Our 20th anniversary trip is officially off to a great start!! We are so thankful to be here together. When we first started talking about going away for our anniversary, we were coming out of an incredibly challenging time in our life and barely making ends meet. Our best idea was to attend a timeshare presentation to get a free hotel stay (anyone else been there? 🙋🏻‍♀️). We’re grateful for some very special people in our life that encouraged us to make plans and helped make it possible to think a little bit bigger. We will be packing in as much fun as we can, with a road trip to Palm Springs, Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Zion National Park. We added on a stop at Disneyland and are proud to be partnering with the @grandlegacyhotel for the next couple days. This is our second time staying here, but the first time without kids!! We love the Grand Legacy because it is stylish and modern, but also affordable. It’s located RIGHT across the street from Disneyland and just a block from all kinds of shopping and entertainment. They had a beautiful anniversary basket waiting for us when we arrived and we enjoyed dinner with a fireworks view last night at @thefifthoc ✨

We’re working on exterior paint this week!!

I’m so happy with how these colors are turning out! I found the cutest Dole Whip decal to put on the door. We still need to finish the exterior paint, replace the awning fabric, finish interior paint, install a new kitchen faucet, and about a million little things. 

If you’re in the market for a small trailer, send me a DM!

Happy 68th anniversary Disneyland! Look how cute a Happy 68th anniversary Disneyland! Look how cute and tiny the kids were last time we were there. 😍 Jay and I are heading back (kid free) next month and I can’t wait!! We will be trying out @breezeairways flying nonstop from Disney World to Disneyland, then continuing on from there for our 20th anniversary trip. We’re going to pack a lot into a really quick trip, with stops at the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. But we couldn’t get that close to Disneyland and not stop in for a quick visit 😊
