Help me get an idea of buffet or character dining pricing

[stampinshauna]

I've been looking at the menu database here as well as on Disney's site but can't find the exact info I need. For the buffets and character dining, I'm just seeing a range of prices. Most are listed as $15-35.99 and $36.99-59.99. Does that mean that for the first range kids are $15 and adults are 35.99 or is this showing seasonal pricing? We'd be going in the off season in February. I'm just trying to get a sense of what the prices are so we can figure out where we want to make a few reservations. It's been a few years since we've been to WDW, so I'm not as familiar with things as I used to be. Also, are there any character meals that are cheaper than others or have they standardized the pricing over the past few years?

The only way to know for sure is to call the dining reservation line, the CM will give you the exact price for the day you want to go. Annoying, isn't it? There must be a way to find the info online, but I have checked the Disney site, this one, Allears, etc. and was advised on these boards to just call. Breakfast is cheaper than lunch which is cheaper than dinner. The character meals at the resorts are USUALLY cheaper than the park ones ( Chef Mickeys , etc are not ). Maybe someone out there knows how to find the exact prices without calling.......

site has menus with prices under the Dining tab above. Included in the information is the month and year of the menu. If the date is old, allears.net has similar information.

For most holidays and pretty much all summer, buffets and all you can eat locations generally add $4 per adult and $2 per kid.

Unofficial websites are not likely to have exact prices, but they will be in the ballpark.

Disney's site uses ranges because then they don't have to update the webpage every time they change a price.
