Are you ready for some hugs with your meal?
Walt Disney World has announced that the moment we have eagerly anticipated – Character Dining at some guest-favorite restaurants is returning this fall!
Some of our best-loved restaurants: The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort are gearing up to welcome back Disney pals ready to treat your family to hugs, laughter, and wonderful memories!

Beginning with Magic Kingdom, special characters will be back for a celebration of friendship within Main Street, U.S.A. The gang from the Hundred Acre Wood will return on September 20 for both lunch and dinner. Winnie the Pooh and Friends will once again be frolicking and passing out hugs at The Crystal Palace while guests feast on options like Carved Prime Rib, Seasonal Ravioli, and Peel & Eat Shrimp.

A short ride on the monorail will take us to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort where on September 27 we will celebrate the return of ‘Ohana Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo and Stitch. Signature breakfast dishes like Pineapple Coconut Breakfast Bread and everyone’s favorite Mickey Waffles can be enjoyed while you sip on Lilikoi Juice and the tasty Moana Smoothies, while getting love and hugs from that rascal Stitch.
Over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Cape May Cafe, a New England-inspired restaurant, will see the return of the Cape May Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast beginning on October 4. Have fun with Disney friends while munching on mouthwatering morning favorites like Salted Caramel “Beach Buns.” And of course, what breakfast would be complete without the yummy Mickey and Minnie Waffles?

So get set to indulge in delicious buffet meals and party with your favorite Disney pals once again!
Check back for more exciting updates in the weeks and months ahead!
