Character Dining

[ddwwelsh]

We will be visiting Walt Disney World from December 26-31. Is there a current, up-to-date list of places that offer character dining-lunch or dinner, in particular?

Just point me in the right direc tion of a list. I am planning to make reservations for lunch at Tusker House one day. We did lunch with the princesses about six years ago, so there's no real interest in doing that again since our daughter is now thirteen. However, are there any other character meals at Epcot?

Thanks all.

In Epcot there is Garden Grill in the land pavilion which has a character dinner with Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. It is family style and very yummy in my opinion.
Also in Norway, there is a princess breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet called Akerhaus.
Cape May cafe inside the Beach Club resort has a nice character breakfast with Minnie, Donald and Goofy in beach attire- so cute!

That is all I can recall in the Epcot area.

Check you Kennythepirate.com He's a dis member who runs a website with everything you could possibly imagine about where to find characters. I used his site to plan out my niece's first trip last year.

Our fav character meal is Tusker. But we also enjoy Cape May breakfast and though I wasn't overly impressed with the food, i thought Garden Grill at Epcot had great character interaction. Doesn't hurt that Chip and Dale are my favorite though

Have a Great Trip!

I'm thinking I may slip in a meal at the Garden Grill and just not tell my husband and daughter. LOL

They agreed to one character meal, but I don't know if I can willingly get them to agree to another, so I might just feign surprise when Chip and Dale join us.

For anyone who is interested in Princess dining I could recommend Cinderella's royal table over Akershus (you need to make sure you make your ADR's right away though as it does fill up quick) Akershus isn't as popular so you have more room when it comes to reservations. I have done both and I feel the food at CRT is WAY better! Just thought I would give my two cents.

I love this Garden Grill is one of my favorites! Plus who can't not love Chip and Dale

I am giving away my favorite secret here but visiting the campfire at Fort Wilderness will get you Chip and Dale with a very inexpensive Chuck Wagon dinner. You can stay for the movie or go down to the beach to see fireworks from the Magic Kingdom and the Electrical Water Pagent.
