Is it a bit awkward if someone is eating pork and Piglet comes over to chat 🤣

I know this video is a year old, but I'd like to add something from personal experience: If a character accidentally misses your table (which does happen sometimes), calmly and politely let either your server, or a character attendant know and they'll help make sure the character gets to you when they can

My wife sets her alarm and wakes up at like 4am on the day that is 60 days out from our trip. Finally got a reservation for cinderellas castle for our upcoming trip. Last year we did the snow white dinner at wilderness lodge and that one was really magical.

As an adult it’s hard not to participate in the character interactions. I was 39 and marched in the Friendship parade with Pooh and the Crew! I also gifted each character a pair of custom made Minnie ears. Maybe that’s why I was Tigger’s partner in the parade!😊😊

I love this channel so much. So inclusive of everyone! Whether that adults with young children, older kiddos, teens or no children at all. Even solo travellers.

They should change out Vampirina for Bluey!!!!!

I’m an adult and I go nuts every time I see Mickey and the characters

We did the Pooh one with my 18 and 13 year olds and it was a blast. The characters were amazing and tears were shed

I love the outfits on Mickey & friends at Garden Grill.

Back in November of 2016, I was at Chef Mickey's, I got a really long hug from Minnie Mouse. That was so special as part of my 25th birthday trip

1900 Park Faire will always hold a soft place in my heart. Back when my family went to Disney World in 2005 it was technically a trip celebrating my oldest brother graduating from High School. But our trip overlapped my birthday, so my mom made reservations for 1900 Park Faire. I loved it so much! I even got a little happy birthday crown that I still have. I do hope it reopens soon.

When I went to WDW for the first time (2013), apparently Donald and Daisy were genuinely playing with me and my grandfather respectively. Not to mention that Baloo tried to use the autograph book as TP. I won’t forget that

We got to do Be Our Guest in late 2019 when you could actually meet with the Beast. It was a great experience but now don’t feel the need to eat there again.

All set for our trip at the end of April and reservation for The Crystal Palace for breakfast on my daughters' b-day!!!

We've been to Cape May twice and both times got to see the characters several times. The wait staff was extra friendly and helpful too!

“What r character meals, r u eating characters” had me dying laughing!!!!

My favorite charecter interation was at ohana breakfast when lilo saw my Remy plush and was absolutely disgusted 😂

I love this channel so much too!!! Planning our first Disneyworld trip and this channel has been SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much DFB!!! ❤️

Thank you, perfect timing. I was looking for a updated version.

Tusker House is literally the BEST! 😍

Food wise I gotta say Akershus was pretty good. Character interaction I gotta go with Hollywood and Vine (lunch). The Mickey in Hollywood and vine was the best Mickey I ever experienced. It’s hard to put into words but they were amazing.

27:10 That’s my family at 1900 Park Fare in the red shirts. It was so cool to be casually watching this and see ourselves.

Thank you, AJ!! This is a fantastic intro to the character meals! As an adult who enjoys letting my inner child out for a character meal, I want to encourage anyone who may be aprehensive to do it…enjoy it!!

Well explained AJ! Thank you!

garden grill absolutely deserves all the hype it gets. the food is absolutely KILLER. that salad was....the best thing i ate on my trip. and it was a salad.

So excited, got my ticket for an Hollywood Studios after hour event for June yesterday. Countdown to summer vacation! Disney is a side excursion to the main trip but still planning to use many of your tips (including paying for that after hours event!) to make it a magical day!

I want to go to all of them!!! (Almost) I love character meals. They help you skip the forever long lines at Princess Hall, etc. But I just wish they would bring back characters to the Bon Voyage breakfast at Trattoria al Forno!!!! Please!!! Best character meal EVER!

I have been thoroughly enjoying your channel. This will be our first time traveling to Disney World with children. The tips and tricks here have been game changing! I'm pumped!

We had the best time at a late dinner at Tusker House. Even got a group photo with ALL of the characters that were there.

AJ I am with you! Cannot tell you how right you are, best kept secret. Garden Grill, some of the best memories from our 14 Disney Trips. Been there twice so looking forward to visit #3. Pluto sits down with you and yours!

Thank you for this wonderful video about characters!!!! Fingers crossed for 1900 Park Fare🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks

I love this channel

Garden Grill has the best food and so much time with characters. Don’t have to worry about being at buffet when they come around. We like CRT for princesses better than Akershus but wow, the breakfast prices are through the roof now!

I wasn’t a fan of the crystal springs food but the Winnie the Pooh characters there were adorable. I also loved the chipmunks at garden grille and the food there is delicious

Poor tigglet 😂

oh my goodness, Tusker House is my favorite!! I love seeing Donald (Donald #1!), Daisy (be sure to ask her if she designed her outfit!), Mickey (be careful to not ask about when he and Minnie are going to make it official!!), and (my personal most favorite pal) Goofy in their safari outfits. My last visit, I was foturnate to know who Goofy was hanging out with…so Goofy’s friend convinced him to hang out with me a bit during their backstage break (sat right down at the table with me…if you see this happen, the character and the guest have a friend in common who let the character know the guest was coming)!!! Tusker House was my favorite before this…for always!

Okay but that Tusker House mac and cheese really is as good as y'all say 👀 definitely the sleeper hit restaurant of my last trip!

My son was downright offended at the Simba waffles at Tusker House and refused to have any, as if they were mere pretenders trying to mix in with the OG Mickey Waffles 😅😅😅

That's my favorite part when I go to Disney

Thank you SO MUCH. Me personally I love the face characters more then the costume characters so usually the fab 5 are out in my book. Face characters you can actually talk too and get a response. Sad that 1900 parkway and the one of the Boardwalk haven't return yet. I was out there when the parks shut down. So I was one of the last to do 1900 parkway. Then when the parks shut down, still had everything else open for one more day. I was so looking forward to seeing and meeting Ariel, Erick, Flynn and Repunzel but they changed it and we got Goofy, Chip and Dale. I understand why but still it was sad. So I was at that place last character meal. Literally, last hour for the character dinning. Hopefully it will open up and can try it again.

I wonder if it’s appropriate to ask Pooh and Piglet to sign your movie poster of Blood and Honey? (which started them)

is it true theres a premium package you can get, where you can pick 3 characters to show up to your meal?

At Garden Grill, you can look into the bedroom window of the house you see on Living With The Land. (Spoiler: Nobody's there...)

Cinderella Hold Me As A Baby When I Was At Walt Disney World Resort Disney Character Dining Room

Are the dining plans ever coming back, do you think? They took so much stress out of the Disney vacation equation.

Looking for best lunch or breakfast w characters in magic kingdom.

Is Garden Grill’s breakfast good too?

That was confusing.. a cc was required for me at every reservation and at CRT we had to pay up front. Are you just talking about cancelation timing (2hrs. vs 24hrs.) to get a refund on the payment we already made? Or are we going to be expected to pay more? 🧐

So for princess dining is Akershus or CRT better? Was leaning toward CRT as I’m planning to have the BBB makeover

Trying to decide between akershus or Cindy’s? Any recommendation?

We were at Hollywood and Vine last week and Minnie came to us. Mickey went to the table right beside us. I asked Minnie if I could take a picture with both her and Mickey together and she wagged her finger no. Are they not allowed to take pictures together with guests?

Question. I recently saw Goofy in a tux, not 50th anniversary, but white tie, full on evening dress. (Not in this video, that I noticed but I thought y’all might still know the answer.). Where is this? I have a feeling it’s something super special but I am still curious. TIA

We did Cinderella's Royal Table during our trip to Magic Kingdom in 2013 - I dressed as Ariel, sister #1 was Rapunzel, sister #3 was Belle.

I know this video is a year old when everyone needed park reservations; but we now have date based tickets in May, will o be required to have park reservations to book dining?

When my parents first got married 30 or so years ago my parents went to Disney world for their honeymoon and my mom was always a die hard fan of goofy but when they went he wasn’t doing any character dining and it was too hot for him to stay out and do meet and greets for too long so they went through all the parks without her being able to meet him so while my mom was at the bathroom my dad saw goofy and his care taker going back stage and he ran up to them and explained the whole story and goofy agreed to meet my mom as soon as she got out of the bathroom and she was blown away with how gracious the big goof was meeting her on one of the last days of their honeymoon and now I want me and my now wife to have a similar moment when we go to Disney world in a year or two

What is the reason they have not reopened park fare or have the characters at trattorio? Luckily we did the park fare dinner in our last trip in 2019 before the pandemic but my daughter is dying to meet Rapunzel and Eugene 🥺

Cape May no characters for dinner, only breakfast?

Apparently I was a p mad 3 year old at Cinderella's castle because I wanted to see snow white 💀

Which character is a must meet every visit?

Referring to the pandemic as the historic 2020 closures 😂

Can anyone tell me the name of the restaurant that shows the meal at 1.57 please 🤩

We were super disappointed in 4 seasons when we went in Jan 2022. 3 years before it was amazing but we felt it was blah and super expensive.

i was scared of Chucky from Chucky cheese....i was like 5 tbf

Just wondering how character dining works for solo travellers

Just a few more tips to add: Parents should wipe off their children (wipe your child's mouth, wash hands, wipe noses) prior to meeting the characters. Even though Cinderella isn't doing her laundry, someone else is. Never force a crying child to meet a character When going to sit at the table for a character meal, the people in your group who are most anxious to meet the character should sit on the outside. Remember that characters can only sign Disney merch.

Stitch lol

I genuinely don't know why Tiglet makes me laugh so much. It's not even that funny it's just a mistake.

I AM GROOT 😍

Nephew turned 1 little bit ago so…

With that new Winnie the pooh horror movie and I enjoyed it personally, I wonder how many talk about that to Pooh lmao

EVERYONE is overpriced ..... No interaction with a character is worth the kind of $$ they charge .. The food is never Superb... barely above average
