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 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 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

Fulton's Crab House:

Like its WDW's Downtown Disney counterpart, Fulton's Crab House is located inside a building shaped like a giant riverboat, which sits on water. At my Disney theme park resort, Fulton's Crab House sits on a waterway alongside Downtown Disney, at the end of Downdown Disney Marketplace right by Downtown Disney's center where DD Marketplace and DD Paradise Plaza (the entertainment district much like Disneyland's Downtown Disney has) join. The monorail stop for Downtown Disney is also located in the center of Downtown Disney as well.

A few years back, Fulton's Crab House had a character breakfast each morning. I originally included Chef Mickey's in Downtown Disney, but I thought that it would be bette suited for a hotel instead since it's a "character dining only" restaurant, and only serves breakfast and dinner (no lunch). This may be the reason why WDW's Chef Mickey's only lasted 2 or 3 years; since guests at Downtown Disney would probably expect lunch to be served at all restaurants in a shopping/entertainment district, and Chef Mickey's was in competition with a large number of other restuarants, especially high-profile ones such as Planet Hollywood and Wolfgang Puck's

However, I did want a character meal of some sort at Downtown Disney, so I thought the best solution was to hold a character breakfast in an existing restaurant (primarily since not many Downtown Disney restaurants serve breakfast, thus giving less competition!), and Fulton's Crab House seemed like the best place; especially given its setting in a riverboat-shaped building on water!

The character breakfast I planned for Fulton's Crab House is the same as one originally planned for the Contemporary, 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.


DISNEYLAND HOTEL

1900 Park Faire:

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

Afternoon Tea: This is a children's activity session as well for children 3-10 years old, much like the Wonderland Tea Party at WDW's 1900 Park Faire. Characters include Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit

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


DISNEY'S CONTEMPORARY RESORT

Chef Mickey's:

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

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


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
