Where to Find Disney Character Dining Outside of Disney Parks

Updated

Character Dining is a fan favorite—but many don’t realize you can dine with Disney Characters outside the Disney parks. To help you find these awesome experiences, we’ve put together a list of restaurants where you can enjoy a meal while meeting Disney pals. And while you don’t need a theme park ticket for these experiences, advanced reservations are highly recommended! And keep in mind, you can redeem your Disney Rewards Dollars toward any of these experiences.1
