Character Dining Costs

[mummabear]

Trying to plan our ADRs, travelling with our DD3 and our DD20months. Interested in CRT, Chef Mickeys, Hollywood and Vine and Donalds Tuskerhouse. Can anyone give me a better idea of the cost of the meals? $15-$59 seems pretty broad.
Not sure what time of day yet, its a bit price dependant but we will be in quite a diferent time zone so doing breakast for all of them will be too difficult(I don't mind waking up the girls for one of them though)
Also what characters can you expect at chef mickeys?

Here's a great place to start:

The range they show for price here is better. It breaks out that range for adults and children. The higher price applies during peak pricing times I believe, near the major holidays. Everyday pricing should be the lower price.

Your younger DD should be able to share of of your plate for free. You will have to pay the kids meal price for your 3 YO.

Chef Mickey have had Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto when have gone for dinner (many times). Not sure if that varies or breakfast. They are in chef costumes.

CRT requires payment in full at time of booking unless you have a Disney Dining Plan you link your reservation to. Then it just requires a CC hold. (Chef Mickey also requires a CC hold).

Keep in mind CRT also includes the photos package you take with Cindy on your way in. CM takes a photo out front on the way in, but not with Mickey, and it is not included with the meal. It's around $30 to purchase, unless you have purchased Photopass Plus, in which case they will give it to you when you show your PP+ card.
