can have lunch or dinner with Winnie the Pooh and friends at
The Crys-
tal Palace
at Magic Kingdom (our favorite!) or choose from many other
character dining options. Some of the most popular options are a chance
to dine with Cinderella, her Fairy Godmother, and perhaps even Belle, Jas-
mine,andSnowWhiteat
Cinderella's Royal Table
inMagicKingdom,and
the Princess Storybook Dining experience at the
Akershus Royal Banquet
Hall
in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot. Here you'll get a chance to break
bread with Disney characters such as Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, Sleep-
ingBeauty,andMaryPoppins.There'sevenanoccasionalvisitfromAriel!
Book your character dining or other Disney dining reservations well in
advance of your trip. You can book up to 180 days in advance (plus 10
extra days if you're staying on Disney property), and some of the restaur-
ants, especially Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort will book
quickly. Unless you want to eat dinner at 10:00 p.m., call well in advance!
