Even though Disney World had told us all character dining would resume at a later time, we were SHOCKED when we learned that EPCOT’s Garden Grill would be reopening — with characters!

Ranking all the Disney World Mickey Mouse Character Meals from Best to…Don’t Bother

By 2 Comments

 

If meeting characters in Disney World is a priority for your family, we highly recommend you consider booking at least one character dining experience. The main benefit of character dining is pretty significant: you don’t have to wait in long lines to meet multiple characters.
