Several restaurants at Disneyland Resort, both inside the parks and at the resort hotels, offer the opportunity to dine in the company of Disney characters. These meals usually come at a premium price for the opportunity to meet characters without waiting in line. The characters walk around the restaurant and visit with guests at each table leaving time for photos and personal interactions. Depending on the meal, there may also be opportunities for large group interactions and staged photos. You can find a current list of locations on the Disneyland website or app.
