All of the dining locations at Walt Disney World are truly unique but nothing beats sitting down for breakfast, lunch or dinner and getting a visit from your favorite Disney Character! This was and is by far one of my most treasured moments at Disney. Character Dining is where, in my opinion, you can get the most one-on-one experience with a Disney Character. I have made a list of the locations in the theme parks or at the resorts where you can enjoy Character Dining.
