UPDATED October 13, 2025

Make no mistake: food at Disney Character Meals is nothing if not kid-friendly! Because these dining experiences are so well geared towards the kiddos, there is no shortage of options for even the pickiest eaters, no matter where you dine.

Lunch and dinner staples, for instance, often include Chicken Nuggets, Macaroni and Cheese, and the like. And breakfast will always include American classics like eggs, bacon, and pastry assortments… plus DISNEY classics like Mickey Waffles! That said, guests can certainly enjoy a surprisingly wide variety of cuisine at select meals! We’re noting on this page some of the more unique fare you may be able to enjoy at various locations.

Additionally, we’re providing links to our most recent dining experience at each of these locations so you can learn about our impressions of the food quality at each meal.
