Character Dining at Disney World are a truly unique experience. They are an opportunity to meet your favorite characters without standing in line, but they’re so much more than that! They are lively and fun, often with music and dancing, a true celebration of the magic of Disney!
Since the parks reopened in July, Disney has had to make many adjustments to what they offer guests, and unfortunately, one of the experiences that needed to be altered was character meet and greets, including character dining. Safety for its Cast Members and guests is a top priority for Disney, but they don’t let that take away too much from the fun! Meet and greets are currently on hold, but they are still able to offer some amazing character dining!
While it is a little different than we’re used to, character dining is still very magical! Tables are spaced for social distancing to ensure safety for guests and characters remain at least 6 feet away as well. But they still pose, wave, and interact with guests as they parade around the restaurant!
Here is a list of the character meals that are currently available at Disney World!
