Unique Dining Experiences

If character experiences aren’t on your agenda, there’s still plenty of fun to be had dining at Disney. These spots are particularly good if you have children of different ages in your party. The younger kids will be having a great time, even if their older siblings are “too cool” for characters.

We have focused on restaurants that have entertainment and shows along with spots that have entertaining waitstaff and themes.
