Can you book Character Tea if not staying in park?

[housemum]

Hi there - excuse a question from a newbie that may have been asked before (I did do a quick search but couldn't see the answer!)

Can you book character tea in the Park if you are staying elsewhere? We're in the Holiday Inn, booked independently as we will get our annul passes when we get there, but the chap at the DLP phone line said you can only book character meals if your are in a Disney Hotel? I thought that only applied to certain meals held in the hotels?

Advice would be appreciated! I have a Minnie-obsessed 3-year-old! princess:

You can book it onsite when you get there in city hall or any of the Disney hotel concierge desks. I would guess you can make a reservation on their phone line for food in france.

We seldom stay onsite and always do the tea.

Hi housemum and welcome to the DIS! :welcome:

You can book meals, including the character tea, up to 60 days in advance on 00 33 1 60 30 40 50 irrespective of where you are staying. :)

You will all really enjoy the character tea.We have done this twice end my DS and DD still talk about the characters and their antics. We find this a good way to see the characters.Our kids don't eat much when there is characters about so this is a cheaper option than a dinner.

Its also a great excuse to eat lots of cake!! :thumbsup2
