Disney Character Meals that aren’t in the theme parks or the Disney-owned resorts

What To Do When All the Disney Character Meals Are Booked

Here’s a list you might find helpful.   These are character meals that include Disney characters but are not in the Disney theme parks or at the Disney-owned resorts.   These are not good options for anyone on the Disney Dining Plans because these restaurants do not participate in the dining plan.   But it is very good information for anyone not on a dining plan who is frustrated because of limited availability at all the usual Character meal locations.     These meals are available to everyone – you don’t have to stay at these resorts to dine at the restaurants.   Prices accurate as of April 28, 2010.
