Character Meals in Walt Disney World can be a tricky thing to figure out. Luckily, Erin Foster created several great breakdown categories to help you decide exactly which character meal is going to fit your family’s needs! The focus of this page is on which characters are featured at every meal, so if you value seeing a particular character, this is for you!

It’s Mickey at Topolino’s Terrace!
If you have your heart set on meeting Mickey, no amount of The Crystal Palace is going to do the trick. The information here will help you find the best choice when you absolutely have to see someone special and will help you decide which character meal will best fit your family’s needs when it comes to seeing a specific character or group of characters.
Classic Characters — MICKEY and the Gang
For the purposes of this discussion, we’re talking about the Main Mouse — MICKEY! — and his closest friends for our options featuring Classic Disney Characters! You’ll often find some combination of the Fab Five: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto. But you may even have a chance to meet Daisy Duck or Chip ‘n Dale at these Classic Character Meals.
