 TheMouseForLess Tips:
 Have your camera ready-most characters will visit you at your table during your meal.
If you have children, autograph books are a must. The Characters will be glad to sign them when they stop by your table. A big, fat, pen is very helpful to help those costumed/gloved characters sign the book. These items are available at stores and gift shops throughout Walt Disney World, but will not be available at the restaurants.
Some children can be shy when first meeting the characters. Most characters are very sensitive to this, and will try and accommodate your
child’s needs.
You may want to make your Priority Seating arrangements for “off peak” meal times. This will allow more time for character interactions because there will be less guests dining.
