Four Ways To Add Character(s) to Your Walt Disney World Resort Stay
Many head to Walt Disney World for the rides, others for the fabulous food, but for my family, it’s the characters! If, like me, you agree that one of the best parts of a Walt Disney World vacation is rubbing elbows with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and the rest of the gang, then you’ve come to the right place! We’ve got some quick tips on how to add lots of character(s) to your Disney World Resort stay.
Dine With Your Favorite Disney Pals
One of the most relaxing ways to meet your favorite Disney characters is by booking one of Disney World’s unique character dining experiences. Character Dining is available across several Walt Disney World resorts. Some of our favorites include:
- Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White – Head to Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge which is magically transformed into an Enchanted Forest. You’ll meet Snow White and a few of her seven sidekicks. And, where Snow White is…the Evil Queen is sure to follow!
- Chef Mickey’s – Disney’s Contemporary Resort is home to this bountiful buffet hosted by Mickey Mouse and some of his favorite pals. Get ready for an eclectic menu with dishes sure to please kids of all ages as well as some energetic character interactions!
- Cape May Cafe – Head to this beach-themed eatery at Disney’s Beach Club Resort for a seaside breakfast with Minnie Mouse and Co!
- Breakfast a la Art – Disney’s Riviera Resort is home to this elegant morning offering featuring Parisian-inspired treats and character interactions with some creative flair!
Please Note: Character Dining at Disney is incredibly popular and advanced dining reservations are strongly encouraged. Booking can be made up to 60 days in advance! In addition, guests who book Disney Resort cation packages on or after January 9, 2024 can add the Disney Dining Plan to your reservations which includes character dining!
Be On the Lookout – You Never Know Who is Just Around the Corner
You never know what familiar Disney pals you might bump into, especially at your Walt Disney World Resort! While staying on property, be on the lookout for surprise appearances from Disney pals who are just dropping by! You never know when you might get a big dose of pixie dust!

Check out this awesome new offering powered by AT&T 5G. This complimentary new digital Disney PhotoPass experience is available for a limited time in the lobbies at the following resorts:

Mickey Mouse & Friends will be dressed to the nines in their 100th Anniversary apparel. They’ll be there (in spirit) to virtually pose and snap a photo with you! Guests can use a MagicBand, MagicMobile Pass or Key to the World card to unlock the experience and link the photos to your Disney account! You’ll even be able to choose the characters you’d like in the photos with you!
Discover Larger-Than-Life Characters
Many of Disney’s Resort hotels feature iconic characters that can’t be missed. Whether it’s a small detail hidden in the upholstery to towering characters outside your resort room door, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a whole new world! Some of my favorite areas of big characters include the Little Mermaid section of Art of Animation, the Toy Story section of Disney’s All-Star Movies, and the Lady and the Tramp (1950s) Section at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
The experiences outlined above are just a snapshot of all of the magical ways that you can see Disney Characters at the more than 25 themed resorts in the Disney Resorts Collection. Each of Disney World’s incredible resort properties include immersive experiences, relaxing environments, and special perks like early theme park entry and complimentary on-site transportation.
