Raise your hand if you love Disney character meals!

Since the 2020 closures, many character dining spots have been slowly returning to “normal” — and believe it or not, there are still some modified experiences. But this is changing soon at two of the most popular Disney World restaurants!
Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom will be welcoming back our favorite characters next week, and Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is bringing back their buffet!

Chef Mickey’s will bring back its a popular buffet on March 1st, where you can meet classic characters like Mickey, Goofy, and Donald, all in their chef outfits. You can take pictures with them and have them sign your autograph books while enjoying a filling spread before heading off for the parks!
Instead of the family-style meal that has been offered after reopening, the normal buffet is coming back for all meals. It’s all-you-care-to-enjoy, so fill up on your favorites!

Cinderella’s Royal Table is another spot with a character meal. Here, you’ll meet Cinderella and other princesses in the perfect setting fit for royalty. Several princesses roam the castle during your meal — Ariel, Aurora, Snow White, and even the Fairy Godmother have made appearances here!
On February 28th, characters will return and walk around the tables in the restaurant. Since reopening, we’ve only seen Cinderella from afar in here.

Reservations here are highly sought after, so if you are hoping to dine with the princesses be sure to book your table as far in advance as possible! You might want to plan ahead for Chef Mickey’s as well. For more information on booking Advanced Dining Reservations, click here!
