How many character dining?

How many is too many? Haha. Won't lie- they sounds magical. And my kid loves a good buffet. The price aside- is it crazy to do one everyday we are there?

I say go for it! It's your vacation and if you (and your family) love character meals, then you should go to them.

I would look into the different options and find out which one(s) have the characters you want to see the most (there is considerable overlap, so that's something to keep in mind) and which have the best sounding food options. Note that most of the character meals are breakfast, so hopefully you like breakfast.

From a straight meal point of view, I would probably only do one per day because the character meals tend to either be prix fixe (e.g., Ariel's) or a buffet (all of the others that come to mind) and two buffets in one day would be more than my tummy could probably handle.

We are doing one every day. Minnies breakfast and dinner at PCH gill on Dec 28, Goofys Kitchen on the 29th, Storytellers Brunch and Fantasmic on the 30th. And Surfs up on the 31st.

We will be there during christmas/NYE and i do not want to be chasing after characters this way we can see them at dinner/breakfast and not worry about it in the park.

We do several every trip. Do what works best for you! If you think your kid will enjoy it, do them all!

This is what I was thinking too since we are going Christmas week ands it's going to be crazy busy.

We love character meals. I would recommend the Goofy's dinner. It was by far the best!
The others are breakfasts (except Ariel's). We found Ariel's to be disappointing (expensive, small portions, very little princess interaction).

And if budget allows, I would totally do one a day! We like to have a nice sit down meal at least once a day for our family.

Kind of depends on age of kids, what they like, pace you like etc. when our kids were younger and they couldn't/wouldn't go on many rides and collected autographs and pictures, it was a great way to start the day and get a bunch of pics and autographs in one shot while killing some time. Now that my kids are older its just an hour/hour and a halfish we could be on rides(unless you get a pre park reservation)

We love character meals and we don't have kids! It's nice to check meets off your list while enjoying a nice buffet. Our favorites are Plaza Inn and Storyteller's. Last year we did one a day and did all of them except Surf's Up. This last trip we just did our 2 favorites. I say go for it!

Have one or two a day if you want, it''s your vacation. We have had DL vacations where we went to every character meal being offered at the time. They were F U N . Each character meal is unique, they do it that way!. If you Are dissapointed with one for some reason, let the manager know by all means. We usually go for at least five days at a time, we do as much as we can.
