Character Meals in Walt Disney World can be a tricky thing to figure out. Luckily, 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 page is which restaurants serve character meals at which times, so it’s perfect for folks who’d rather sleep late before getting their character interaction.

The timing of a meal can greatly impact your enjoyment of your vacation. If you want to sleep-in during your trip, then a breakfast meal might not be your cup of tea (or coffee as the case may be). Here’s a breakdown of Character Dining by Meal Times.
