In yesterday’s post, we looked at character dining at the Walt Disney World parks. Today we are going to look character dining at the resorts. There are a high number of resorts where you can get a great character dining experience, so let’s take a look at them separately.
- 1900 Park Fare – Located over at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, 1900 Park Fare is a character haven all day long. You’ve got the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast and the Wonderland Tea Party, featuring characters from Alice in Wonderland. Then you’ve got Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner, featuring Cinderella, Prince Charming, and those other people the step-mom and step-sisters (Sophie did NOT like them, nor did I!)
- Cape May Café – Cape May is located over at the Beach Club Resort over on Disney’s Boardwalk region. We ate here for breakfast for the first time last June, and absolutely LOVED it! The food was a great buffet, just like everywhere else, with Mickey waffles and all the rest, but we loved Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy all decked out in their beach garb. Check this restaurant out!
- Chef Mickey’s – Located over at the Contemporary Resort, Chef Mickey’s is one of the top of the line character dining restaurants on property. We have eaten here once for dinner, and it was okay. I have heard that breakfast is much better, so maybe we need to check out breakfast! No matter what time of day you eat, Chef Mickey’s is a buffet style setting.
- Garden Grove – Located over at the Walt Disney World Swan Resort, we have never eaten at the Garden Grove – but I have heard a lot of people give it rave reviews. The food is served buffet style, but each day has a different theme, so check the website for more information on what day you want to make your reservation! Two Disney characters (the characters vary regularly) are present every night for dinner, and also for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday.
- Garden View Tea Room – for that perfect Mother/Daughter bonding moment, check out this venue over at the Grand Floridian. Serving afternoon tea, you are greeted by Princess Aurora.
- ‘Ohana – Located over at the Polynesian Resort, ‘Ohana is a wonderful location to have a terrific character breakfast. We ate there in 2009 and absolutely loved seeing Lilo, Stitch, Mickey Mouse and Pluto. Officially ‘Ohana only shows Lilo and Stitch as appearing, so having Mickey and Pluto there may have been good fortune for us. The food is served family style, which is good since ‘Ohana in Hawaiian translates to mean family. While ‘Ohana only offers character dining with breakfast, they also have an incredible dinner show (so I’ve heard, anyway, as I’ve never eaten there for dinner) so look into that as well!
- Mickey’s Backyard BBQ — We ate at this location for Sophie’s birthday last June. I liked the atmosphere, but I thought that the food was just okay. It certainly fit the description of what you would expect — hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs, baked beans. I liked the show, and I loved how much Mickey and Minnie interacted with Sophie! I’m not certain we would do it again soon, but I wouldn’t completely rule it out either.
This concludes our look at the Walt Disney World Character dining locations. I hope that you have enjoyed it! Which of the character locations are your favorites?
