Beginner here, but would Disney Land or Disney Paris have similar options for meals with characters? It looks like fun!
Katy,
Character meals are a ton of fun! I know that Disneyland in California has character meals, though not as many. Disneyland Paris also has a few character meals. Definitely recommend trying one out!
This is a great list for those trying to decide what meal to go to! I have always thought the Akersus Banquet hall is underrated – it’s a wonderful meal to meet the princesses at and the food was unbelievablely good. My favorite, however, has been ‘Ohana.
We love ‘Ohana for dinner, but have never done breakfast there. It is on my list for our next trip though! Our favorite character meals are Garden Grill and 1900 Park Fare.
Thanks for the article! I’d like to take my three year old son to Disney and this will be a very helpful guide! I’ve taken him to a Disney princess thing before, and he liked it. Its good to see articles with little boys enjoying Disney Princesses!
So glad you like it! Three is a great age for Disney. The magic is so real for them at that age.
