I just called Disney to inquire about character meal prices for 2011 peak seasons:
February 17-26, 2011
March 11 - April 30, 2011
June 3 - August 13, 2011
December 21-31, 2011
These prices include tax, but do not include tip, so you do the math! Here they are:
Breakfast
1900 Park Fare A - $26.62 C - $14.90
Cape May Cafe, Tusker House & Crystal Palace A - $28.75 C - $15.97
Chef Mickey's A - $35.14 C - 19.16
Akershus A - $39.40 C - $23.42
CRT A - $54. 51 C -$34.61 ** includes mandatory 18% gratuity **
Lunch
Tusker House A - $27.68 C - $14.90 (lunch is less cuz no characters)
Crystal Palace A - $30.87 C - $17.03
Akershus A - $41.53 C - $24.49
Dinner
Chef Mickeys & 1900 PF A - $ 42.59 C - $21.29
Crystal Palace A - $43.65 C - $21.29
Akershus A - $46.85 C - $25.55
Boma A - $39.40 C - $ 19.16
Garden Grill A - $41.52 (wasn't able to get children's price)
These prices are staggering, since once you add tip, some of them will be close to or actually over $50.00!

Disney's way of encouraging purchase of the Dining Plan, IMHO.
I hope these prices help some of you who are plannning trips. We will be eating most of our meals in our villa, but wanted to add a few character meals for the kids.
