Character Dining
A few important things to keep in mind:
-Advanced Dining Reservations are highly recommended (if not required in certain cases) if you intend on joining in on the fun at any of the following character dining experiences - prices may increase (though usually only slightly) so be sure to check ahead of time for the most current pricing available

- the characters listed may vary or change from time to time

- parties of 8 and more (and this applies to all full service Disney dining) will automatically be charged an 18% gratuity -- be sure to check your bill before paying up so you don’t inadvertently add an additional tip (unless of course you feel it is warranted).

- unless otherwise noted all buffet meals include non alcoholic and non specialty drinks (which cost extra) in the price of your meal.
