Character meals are table-service restaurants where characters visit each table. On the dining plan most take 1 table-service credit a person, the same as any other table-service meal, though they often cost much more out of pocket. That makes them one of the best uses of a table-service credit.
Getting the most from a character meal
- Book early. Reservations open 60 days before check-in at 6 AM Eastern, and the popular character meals fill up first.
- Pick dinner over breakfast where both are offered: dinner costs more out of pocket for the same credit.
- Check the credit count. Cinderella's Royal Table and Story Book Dining at Artist Point take 2 credits a person. Akershus takes 2, or 1 for a lunch that starts before noon.
- Plan it for a park day. A character breakfast inside the park you're visiting saves a separate breakfast and the trip back.
