Creator's Key Takeaways

Character dining is a whole lot of fun, but the food doesn't always match the overall atmosphere, and it's not always necessarily worth the elevated price.

The most expensive princess dining experience will be Cinderella's Royal Table during lunch or dinner, which costs $88 per adult.

Character dining can be one of the biggest highlights of your whole trip.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Study up on which characters appear at which restaurants before booking.
✓Book breakfast for the most affordable character dining option.
✓If unsure about your child's reaction, book the character meal for the second half of your trip.
✓Have autograph books and cameras ready when characters approach your table.
✓Flag down your server if no characters have shown up by the end of your meal.

Child might be scared of characters in person — Book the character meal for the second half of your trip to test interactions first.
Characters might not show up or be missed — Keep an eye on character locations and flag down your server if needed.
Cost is high and food might not match expectations — Consider breakfast options for lower cost and focus on character interaction over food.
