Which Disney World character meal had the biggest price increase?
Topolino’s Terrace. Breakfast with Mickey and friends at the Riviera Resort jumped $7 for adults, from $52 to $59. That’s an increase of about 13 percent.
The kids’ price there rose $6, from $33 to $39, which works out to about 18 percent.
The adult breakfast at ‘Ohana and at The Crystal Palace each went up $5, a little under 10 percent.
At the other end, the adult breakfast at Tusker House and at 1900 Park Fare rose only $1.
What does Cinderella’s Royal Table cost now?
Dinner is $92 per adult and $57 per child. Breakfast is $79 for adults and $49 for kids.
That makes it the priciest character meal on the list. For a family of two adults and two kids, dinner now costs $298 before tax and tip. That’s $18 more than before.
Cinderella’s Royal Table is inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, which is a big part of why it costs the most.
How much have Disney character meals gone up since 2023?
Quite a bit. In October 2023, breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table went up to $69 for adults, according to Mickey Blog. Now it’s $79, so it’s $10 more in three years.
After that 2023 increase, Chef Mickey’s breakfast was $54 for adults. It’s $62 now.
‘Ohana’s breakfast was $49. Now it’s $58.
So those meals cost about 15 to 18 percent more than they did three years ago.
When did the new Disney World character dining prices start?
Disney Food Blog didn’t give a start date, and Disney hasn’t announced the changes.
If you already have a reservation, check the price listed in your My Disney Experience app or on the Disney World website.
Is Disney World character dining still worth it?
That depends on how much you want to meet characters. At a character meal, you can see several of them without standing in line, and they come to your table for photos and hugs. You also get to sit down in the air conditioning.
The trade-off is price. A counter-service meal in the parks costs much less, but nobody in a costume stops by your table.
If you want to save, breakfast is cheaper than dinner almost everywhere on the list. Cape May Cafe’s breakfast has the lowest adult price on this list, at $52.
Disney Food Blog also has a broader story on hundreds of food price increases at Disney World, so the character meals aren’t the only thing going up.
