food IS a theme park
Welcome to Four Seasons Orlando at Golden Oak in the Walt Disney World Resort, where “luxury meets magic!” Twenty-six acres hold 423 rooms, five acres of recreation, a spa… oh, and a few restaurants 😉 .

Dining plays a major role in the guest experience at this resort! In fact, all dining locations are open to the public – and not just resort guests.
Disney World is home to some truly spectacular restaurants!
Great options (like Citricos at the Grand Floridian) aren’t far from the parks!
We consider ourselves to be Disney food experts at this point, but you don’t have to take our word for it alone — many of the restaurants on Disney World property are award-winning. Several places have been awarded recognition from the Michelin Guide in the past, and this year, we can add even more dining spots to that count!
Traditional character meet and greets and character dining in Disney World are BACK in Disney World!

We’ve been checking out ALL of the meet and greet options in all four theme parks, but we can’t forget the character dining! So, which restaurants have brought back the hugs and high fives? This is a COMPLETE list of back-to-normal character dining in Disney World!
Disney World has some stellar character dining options. A meal where you can eat in the AC AND meet your favorite Disney characters? That sounds pretty tempting.

There are a good number of character meals to choose from when you’re in the Most Magical Place on Earth and we want to help make that choice easier. So, we’re RANKING every character meal in Disney World right now!
There are SO many pasta options in Disney World. (Hey, we’re not complaining! Bring on the noodle-y goodness!)
Spaghetti and meatballs with a fancy name
But what are our FAVORITE plates of pasta on Disney World property? Glad you asked! Let’s talk about them NOW! *WARNING* You’re gonna want pasta after this. In fact, after we finish up this post, we’re gonna go make a big pot of spaghetti while we daydream about some of the items on this list.
Here at DFB, we’re typically trying to help you save money as you’re booking your hotels, buying your tickets, or even just grabbing merchandise all around Disney World. Just your “regular” perfectly ordinary Disney World trip can be incredibly expensive.

But, every now and then it’s fun to dream, right?! So, today we’re looking at what could be the MOST EXPENSIVE trip to Disney World. We’re talking VIP tours, the hotel rooms of your dreams, and all kinds of extras that would blow any ordinary budget, but will not be an issue for our imaginary UNLIMITED Disney World trip budget. Grab your (imaginary) wallets and let’s get spending!!
When Disney World reopened, traditional character meet-and-greets were suspended.
Oh, boy!
But, you can still see some of your favorite Disney friends from a distance in other ways all around Disney World. If you’re a BIG Mickey Mouse fan or you’ve got a little one who couldn’t go a single trip without saying “hello” to the big cheese, you might be wondering where you’ll be able to find the leader of the club during your next trip. Well, don’t worry — we’ve got the answer right here!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the reopening of all the Disney World theme parks and MORE!

Welcome to the Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World!
The Disney Help Desk at the Four Seasons Orlando
The Four Seasons Orlando has some delicious dining options, but one of the most unique experiences they have right now is one of the few character dining experiences currently open on Disney property at Ravello Italian Restaurant! The only other character dining experiences currently open are Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort and the Garden Grill in EPCOT, with some surprise character appearances at Be Our Guest as well.
So, we definitely had to eat our way through the menu at Ravello and get all the details! Let’s head inside! [Read more…]
For the initial phase of Disney World’s reopening, most character meals have been put on hold with only a few exceptions.
Mickey at Topolino’s Terrace
But in addition to the character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace that’s now underway, the SURPRISE character experience at Be Our Guest, and a modified character dining experience at Garden Grill Restaurant when Epcot reopens July 15th, we’ve just confirmed a third character meal will be happening at Disney World!
