Character dining puts breakfast, lunch or dinner with your favorite Disney characters right at the table — genuinely popular with young kids, and often easier to book than a standalone character meet-and-greet.

Best for Princesses: Cinderella’s Royal Table
Located inside Cinderella Castle, this is genuinely one of the hardest character dining reservations to land, with princesses greeting guests table-side in a fittingly royal setting.
Best for Classic Characters: Chef Mickey’s
Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort offers a lively buffet with Mickey and friends, genuinely popular for its energetic atmosphere and easy monorail access.
Best for an Elevated Experience: Topolino’s Terrace
Topolino’s Terrace offers a genuinely more upscale character breakfast, with Mickey and friends dressed in artist attire and rooftop views over EPCOT.
How to Book
Popular character dining reservations book up quickly, so reserve as early as your booking window allows, especially for Cinderella’s Royal Table.
