This is a repost of my list of character meals which will be at my proposed Disney theme park resort as of opening day, with a few minor revisions I recenty made. Here is what I now have:

MAGIC KINGDOM:

Crystal Palace: Similar to its Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland counterparts, The Crystal Palace is a buffet restaurant offering character meals at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Guests are joined by Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, and Eeyore at all 3 meals!

The Crystal Palace is located on Main Street, USA at the corner of Main Street and the central hub. Despite its Main Street, USA location, Crystal Palace can also be entered from Adventureland in the back! This would give guests the best of both "lands", since WDW's Crystal Palace can only be entered from Main Street and Tokyo's only from Adventureland!

Global Grill: Located inside The Earth pavillion in Discoveryland, Global Grill holds an Ice Cream Social with Mickey and Minnie daily at 3pm.

Liberty Tree Tavern: Similar to its WDW counterpart, Liberty Tree Tavern is located on Liberty Street (part of Main Street, USA), and offers character dining at Dinner. Guests are joined by Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Meeko.

Lumière's: Located on the second floor of Beauty and the Beast Castle, Lumière's hosts a character breakfast similar to the one held at Cinderella's Royal Table in WDW's Magic Kingdom.

Characters include Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, Jasmine, and Peter Pan (inside the dining hall); along with Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), who greets guests in the lobby.


DISNEY STUDIOS:

Hollywood & Vine: Similar to its Disney-MGM counterpart at WDW, Hollywood & Vine holds character Lunch buffet from 11:30AM to 2:45PM. (IIRC, Hollywood & Vine used to have character meals, but Disney-MGM discontinued all character dining in the park). Guests are joined by Minnie, Daisy (both wearing Hollywood Starlet Outfits), Goofy (in a gangster outfit), Pluto, Chip & Dale.


DOWNTOWN DISNEY

Chef Mickey's:

Breakfast: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale

Dinner: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip & Dale.


DISNEYLAND HOTEL

1900 Park Faire:

Breakfast: Alice, Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Pinocchio, Mary Poppins, and Bert

Afternoon Tea (for children 3-10 years old): Alice, Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit

Dinner: Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, Pinocchio, Geppetto, and Jiminy Cricket


DISNEY'S CONTEMPORARY RESORT

Contemporary Café: which offers a Character Breakfast with a menu similar to Donald's Breakfastosarus at WDW's Animal Kingdom, but stripped of its dinosaur/prehistoric theming.

Characters include Donald, Daisy, Scrooge McDuck, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto.


DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD HOTEL:

Roger's Buffeteria: Themed to the 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Roger's Buffeteria features character dining at Breakfast and Dinner, where Roger is joined by a wide variety of his Disney friends!

Breakfast: Roger, Minnie, Goofy, Max, Rafiki, and Timon

Dinner: Roger, Mickey, Donald, Pluto, Peter Pan, and Wendy

Sounds neat ( i have posted on like all of your threads lol ) Character meals are SO funny and really get you in the Disney Spirit- especially if you have little kids.

Keep the ideas comin!

I'd love to see a meal that included the Toy Story characters. It could be called "Andy's Room." Just a suggestion.

Unfortunately, Pixar has not approved of the Toy Story characters or any other Pixar characters appearing at character meals in Disney's theme parks. Sorry about that!

Glad you enjoyed my ideas so far, and my character meals in particular! BTW, did anyone notice I included rarer characters at my character meals than WDW's? For example; Scrooge McDuck at the Contemporary Café character breakfast, Daisy Duck at 2 character meals, Max at Roger's Buffteria for breakfast, and Jiminy Cricket at the 1900 Park Faire character dinner (along, with Pinocchio, Geppetto, Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the Fairy Godmother). Seems like WDW tries to duplicate The "Big 5" at almost every character meal!

Yes I did notice- the characters you chose are rarely seen you can rack in some people there! (lol I am not hyper at the moment- I am calmed down so I can talk "business" haha lol) And the only place I know of in WDW where you can see Pinocchio, Geppetto, Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the Fairy Godmother is the Grand Floridian breakfast. (Except for the castle, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get in to!)

Actually, the 1900 Park Faire breakfast lineup varies greatly. Characters I have heard appearing there include Mary Poppins, Bert, Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Pooh, and Tigger. Cinderella and the gang appear at Dinner, not breakfast. Hope this helps!

As for mine, I tried to include a greater variety of characters at each meal, and include more rare characters. This way, guests are guaranteed to get a chance to meet these characters, and character meals are often easier for such characters to appear at regularly than theme park walk-arounds.
