Who doesn’t love seeing your favorite Disney character? The classic Disney movies we all know and love are why Walt Disney World Resort is such a magical place. Of course, you can meet Disney characters in the Parks, but there are also excellent experiences at Walt Disney World Resorts. If you would rather skip the Park ticket cost, dining at staples like Tusker House, Crystal Palace, Akershus, or Garden Grill won’t be an option. Not to worry, Disney Resort Hotels has some great character meals and character experiences. Have you had these character experiences at Walt Disney World Resort hotels?
