Dining with Characters in Orlando

Many guests seize the opportunity to sit down and break bread with some of the most famous cartoon characters in the world while on vacation in Orlando. To kids, these characters are bigger than life as they stop by to say hello, pose for photos, sign autographs and encourage them to eat their vegetables. These character meals (especially at Disney World) are incredibly popular.

It is imperative that you call 407-W-DINE to make Priority Seating arrangements well in advance. If you were to show up to a character dining appearance without a reservation, you may not find a seat.

Character meal pricing at Disney World is pretty consistent across the resort property. Most breakfast meals with Disney characters will run you about $ 18-20 per adult and $ 9-10 for kids ages 3-11. Dinner will cost you around $ 22-24 per adult and around $ 10-12 for children. As a general rule of thumb, the food isn't going to be extraordinary at a character dinner, but these dining arrangements are guaranteed to be high in fun and energy.

It is very important that you also take into consideration that Walt Disney World changes its character lineups frequently, so it is not wise to promise your children a specific character only to let them down. Also, keep in mind that by dining inside of the parks you will have to add the price of admission and parking to your budget.
