Character Meals in Walt Disney World can be a tricky thing to figure out. Luckily, our Disney Food for Families columnist, Erin Foster, created a great breakdown to help you decide exactly which character meal is going to fit your family’s needs! The focus of this chart is the level of noise at each character meal, so if you value relative quiet — or a loud, boisterous meal — this is for you:

I’ve included this Value because I often saw inquiries about noise level at meals when answering questions for DisneyWorldMoms.com. The questioners were typically the parents of children with sensory integration or autistic spectrum issues, or parents of teens who wanted a more low-key character experience.

I haven’t found any official source for noise level at Disney Restaurants, so this is my 100% unscientific, personal assessment of character meal volume.
