Character dining has been an essential part of the Disney theme park experience for decades, with the very concept of a character meal becoming synonymous with trips to the company’s resorts. These days, there are dozens of character meals spread across Disney’s worldwide properties, and it can be overwhelming to try to choose which to book.
Dopey!
We’ve scored all of Disney’s resorts worldwide — Disneyland, Walt Disney World, the Disneyland Paris resort, the Tokyo Disney Resort, the Hong Kong Disney Resort, and the Shanghai Disney Resort to pinpoint the most unique character dining experience at each of them.

In 2025, Disney introduced the Always-on Perks program, which offers fans “rewards ranging from access to one-of-a-kind experiences and limited-time sweepstakes to everyday savings and special discounts” to subscribers. Some of the perks currently available to subscribers are huge, including one that every Disney fan should take advantage of.
Character dining has been an essential part of the Disney World experience for decades, with experiences like the buffet at Chef Mickey’s and breakfast at ‘Ohana, among many others, becoming somewhat legendary amongst many guests. We think there are several current Disney World restaurants that could become just as iconic character dining experiences.
The Beast at Be Our Guest Restaurant
Each of these restaurants already have heavily themed, immersive environments that would feel complete if there were some appropriate characters engaging with guests during their meals.
A popular — and game-changing — hotel perk is officially returning to Walt Disney World in 2026, and it’s sure to inject a strong dose of… character in many vacations!
Pop Century
As part of the returning Cool Kids Summer promotion — which runs from May 26th to September 8th — Disney characters will be appearing in scheduled meet & greets at select Walt Disney World hotels.
A new protein-heavy food fad is sweeping the United States, with a somewhat unprecedented level of governmental approval. However, experts warn it may be dangerous.
New York Strip
Heavily processed protein-based snacks and meat sticks such as Slim Jims have been around for about a century, but they’re truly having a moment right now. For example, according to USA Today, the popular meat stick brand Chomps saw a reported 206% increase in its sales growth in 2024, part of $3.3 billion in overall sales for the meat snacks category in the same year.
When it comes to transportation options, not all Walt Disney World hotels are created equal. While some are connected by multiple arms of the Disney transportation apparatus — buses, boats, monorails, Skyliner gondolas — others are only serviced by buses, and on the far ends of the property at that.
All-Star Sports Bus Stop
These limited transportation hotels aren’t bad by any means — in fact, to some guests, the isolation is a feature as opposed to a bug — however, if you’re planning on visiting all of Disney World’s theme parks, Disney Springs, other hotels, etc., you may want to consider an alternate hotel.
