Not only are they a great way for your entire family to interact with the characters, but the buffet usually has something for everyone, and our kids are still young enough that we don’t have to pay for their meal! If you’re using the Disney Dining Plan, character meals are a great way to get the most value from your meal credits!

Breakfast at Be Our Guest in the Magic Kingdom

Be Our Guest is the most popular restaurant at the Magic Kingdom, and quite possibly the hardest restaurant at Disney World to book a reservation at. Not only is the food absolutely delicious but the theming and ambiance are fantastic.

If you are hoping to dine inside the Beast’s castle, I highly recommend booking your reservation at the 180 day mark (especially if you have a large party). Let’s take a peek at breakfast at Be Our …
