Today I wanted to chat about what we think are the BEST character meals at Disney World. With so many choices and a high price tag, we know how hard it can be to narrow it down. Here are our 5 current favorite character meals. 1. Topolino's (breakfast) This 1 is popular for a reason.

But even without Lightning Lanes, we don’t want you to have to wait in long lines. Here are some strategies you can use instead of (or in addition to) booking Lightning Lanes. 1.

New! Disney Dining plan calculator w/recommendations
Hope your week has gone well so far! We've just returned from D23 Expo and are riding on the high of some of the news we heard inside the Honda Center - some of it expected, but lots of it was a surprise.
We have a lot to look forward to in the coming years! For the details of that, including opening dates, we have a D23 Expo recap you can check out.
It asks you some questions to help you determine if the Disney Dining Plan makes sense for you, as well as telling you which order to make your dining reservations in once you hit the 60-day mark.
If you plan to buy Lighting Lanes for multiple days of your trip, it'll mean having multiple back-to-back transactions which could flag your debit/credit card as fraud suspicion. Be sure to have a backup payment method handy just in case you first card gets flagged while you're trying to book.
Want to submit your own quick tip? Hit reply and we may feature it in a future email.
I think that'll be it for now. Feel free to hit reply and let us know if you have any questions or comments as you plan.
Talk soon,
