The opportunity to have a Princess visit your table (or any of the other characters) can make a great vacation extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>But to enjoy a character meal, you need to plan.\u00a0 First, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/tips-making-hard-get-dining-reservations\/\">make a reservation<\/a>. Because these are some of the fastest booked restaurants (especially Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table in the castle) reservations are essential. Next, Disney changes dining options often. Walt Disney World Character Dining has changed several times in the last year and more changes are coming, so, make sure you check before you go. Also, you should be aware that Disney may change which characters appear at any time so under promise and over deliver for your kids.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s New(er)<\/h2>\n<p>Recently Disney World Character Dining has added two new dining options. Both are located in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/top-walt-disney-world-resorts-families\/\">resort areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The first new Disney World Character Dining option is at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/wilderness-lodge\/\">Disney&#8217;s Wilderness Lodge<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/artist-point-menu\/\">Artist Point<\/a>. The theme of the character dining experience is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The spirit of the enchanted forest is created through the addition of tree branches that twinkle and dazzle.\u00a0 Furthermore, theming extends to the poison apple napkin rings and the small cauldrons that soup is served in.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Storybook Dining at Artist Point with Snow White<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Location: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/wilderness-lodge\/\">Wilderness Lodge<\/a>, Artist Point<\/li>\n<li>Characters: Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy and a photo opportunity with the Evil Queen<\/li>\n<li>Meal Type: Prix-Fixe (multiple courses for a single course)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/disney-dining-plans\/disney-dining-plan-participating-restaurants\/\">Disney Dining Plan<\/a>: Yes \u2013 Table Service Credit<\/li>\n<li>Hours: 4:00 p.m. \u2013 9:00 p.m.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/tables-in-wonderland-discounts\/\">Tables in Wonderland<\/a>: Not available<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/artist-point-menu\/\">Menu Link<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are far fewer details for the newest Disney World Character Dining experience. Topolino\u2019s Terrace is slated to be a new Signature table-service restaurant that is scheduled to open in the \u201cFall\u201d of 2019.\u00a0 Topolino will be located on the roof top of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/disneys-riviera-resort-guide\/\">Disney Riviera Resort<\/a>., however, the resort\u00a0is\u00a0taking room reservations for dates starting in December of 2019. Although the characters are not announced, we do maybe have a clue as to who may be there is in the name of the restaurant. \u00a0Topolino is the Italian name for Mickey Mouse. Could we see Mickey here? Because, the Terrace will offer great views of EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, this breakfast will be a great way to start your day.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Topolino&#8217;s Terrace &#8211; Flavors of the Riviera<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Location: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/disneys-riviera-resort-guide\/\">Disney\u2019s Riviera Resort<\/a>, Topolino\u2019s Terrace<\/li>\n<li>Characters: Not Yet Announced.<\/li>\n<li>Meal Type: Prix-Fixe<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/disney-dining-plans\/disney-dining-plan-participating-restaurants\/\">Disney Dining Plan<\/a>: No Currently Listed<\/li>\n<li>Hours: Breakfast (TBD)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/tables-in-wonderland-discounts\/\">Tables in Wonderland<\/a>: Not available<\/li>\n<li>Menu Link \u2013 No link is available.
