food IS a theme park
Character dining just got more expensive in Disney World!
Chef Mickey’s
We’ve seen a TON of price increases hit restaurants across the Disney World theme parks and hotels. Several character dining restaurants were affected as well — here’s a breakdown of the price increases at some of the most popular restaurants in Disney World.
Dining in Disney World can be an experience all on its own.

There are so many great restaurants within the parks, the hotels, and at Disney Springs. But we know there are a few restaurants that just don’t hit the mark, if you know what we mean. They look amazing, but then you try the food and realize it might not have been worth your time or money. So we’ve put together a list of a few restaurants that, in our experiences, all around weren’t great but had one thing that we would always go back for.
Halloween is just around the corner, but in some Disney parks, it has already started.
Halloween is coming!
In Disney World, Halloween has begun with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicking off on August 11th. The Emporium is filled with Halloween merch and Main Street is decorated with pumpkins. While Halloween has not yet hit Disneyland just yet, there is a lot to look forward to on the west coast.
Let’s be honest — Disney World is EXPENSIVE.

The hotels are expensive — so are the park tickets themselves — and that doesn’t even count any souvenirs you plan to get. So what is actually worth buying at Disney World? We’ve got a whole list!
Disney World is home to countless character meals — but are they all the same?
Snow White
The answer is a big ol’ “no” from us. In fact, there’s one character meal in Disney World that checks almost every box we’ve got — and we’re certainly not the only ones who think so. According to just about everyone, this character meal is practically perfect.Â
Disney World character dining experiences are truly special.
Hey, Pluto!
Not only do you get a great meal, but you can also get some valuable one-on-one time with characters without having to wait in line to meet them. There are also SO many character dining experiences available, but only one takes place INSIDE Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom. But if you haven’t done this character dining experience before, you might need to prepare yourself for some SERIOUS sticker shock.
What’s better than Mickey Waffles?
EPCOT
Mickey Waffles with our pal, farmer Mickey (And Pluto, Chip, and Dale)! Thankfully, breakfast has returned to one of our favorite character dining spots — Garden Grill. It’s been a few years since breakfast was offered here, and the menu has changed a little bit since we last visited, so I had to check it out!
Are you ready? Are you excited? It’s BACK!
Garden Grill
No, we’re not talking about the random churro cart in Magic Kingdom or the Refreshment Station in EPCOT. We’re not even talking about the exclusive fireworks show that will return for two days only in Disney World. It’s time to EAT because breakfast is officially back at Garden Grill, bb!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — choosing where to eat on your Disney World vacation is quite possibly the most difficult decision you’ll make on your trip.
Magic Kingdom
There are so many different options and if you’re trying to figure out what’s right for you and your travel group, things can get overwhelming quickly. Luckily, we’re here to help. We’ve eaten at every restaurant in Magic Kingdom, and if you ask us, this is the only dining reservation you need.
A huge update we’ve been waiting for has finally come to Disney World!
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway Pavilion is home to a character meal with Disney Princesses. It reopened with dinner a while back, and breakfast has now returned as well! We were there on the first day breakfast returned and shared a first look with you, but now it’s time for our FULL review!
