Character dining made magical
One of the most popular dining experiences at Walt Disney World Resort? Character dining, of course. You can meet some of your favourite Disney Characters while tucking into delicious dishes – a win-win if you ask us. Fancy something sweet? At Chef Mickey’s, in Disney's Contemporary Resort, you’ll dine on classic American treats like Mickey waffles and pancakes as your favourite Characters like Mickey and Minnie make their way around the dining room to greet you – what a way to start your Disney Park day. Or, make tracks for Magic Kingdom Park and dine like a princess at Cinderella’s Royal Table. You’ll have the chance to meet your favourite Disney Princesses like Ariel, Jasmine and Snow White.

Tasty plates with a twist
Ice-cream more your scene? Pick up a Dole Whip (or two) from Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom Park or Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s usually made with pineapple ice-cream and comes in a crunchy cone or a mess-free cup. Don’t worry if you’re not keen on pineapple, you’ll find other flavours like strawberry, coconut, lemon and orange to keep you cool on a hot Florida day.
