Yes! Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto all visit every table. This is one of the only meals where you're guaranteed to meet all five classic characters. Allow time for photos and autographs.
Honestly, the characters are the main attraction. The buffet is solid American comfort food—satisfying but not gourmet. You're paying for the character experience and Disney magic, which is exceptional.
Breakfast is most popular and often hardest to reserve. The experience is similar at all meals with the same characters. Dinner is often easier to book and includes carved meats.
Character appearances may vary and are not guaranteed.
