This is a repost of my list of character meals which will be at my proposed Disney theme park resort as of opening day, with a few minor revisions I made. Here is what I now have:

MAGIC KINGDOM:

Crystal Palace: Similar to its Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland counterparts, The Crystal Palace is a buffet restaurant offering character meals at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Guests are joined by Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, and Eeyore at all 3 meals!

The Crystal Palace is located on Main Street, USA at the corner of Main Street and the central hub. Despite its Main Street, USA location, Crystal Palace can also be entered from Adventureland in the back! This would give guests the best of both "lands", since WDW's Crystal Palace can only be entered from Main Street and Tokyo's only from Adventureland!

Global Grill: Located inside The Earth pavillion in Discoveryland, Global Grill holds an Ice Cream Social with Mickey and Minnie daily at 3pm.

Liberty Tree Tavern: Similar to its WDW counterpart, Liberty Tree Tavern is located on Liberty Street (part of Main Street, USA), and offers character dining at Dinner. Guests are joined by Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Meeko.

Lumière's: Located on the second floor of Beauty and the Beast Castle, Lumière's hosts a character breakfast similar to the one held at Cinderella's Royal Table in WDW's Magic Kingdom.

Characters include Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, Jasmine, and Peter Pan (inside the dining hall); along with Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), who greets guests in the lobby.


DISNEY STUDIOS:

Hollywood & Vine: Similar to its Disney-MGM counterpart at WDW, Hollywood & Vine holds character Lunch buffet from 11:30AM to 2:45PM. (IIRC, Hollywood & Vine used to have character meals, but Disney-MGM discontinued all character dining in the park). Guests are joined by Minnie, Daisy (both wearing Hollywood Starlet Outfits), Goofy (in a gangster outfit), Pluto, Chip & Dale.


DOWNTOWN DISNEY

Chef Mickey's:


Breakfast: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale

Dinner: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip & Dale.


DISNEYLAND HOTEL

1900 Park Faire:


Breakfast: Mary Poppins, Bert, Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit

Afternoon Tea (for children 3-10 years old): Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit

Dinner: Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, Pinocchio, and Geppetto.


DISNEY'S CONTEMPORARY RESORT

Contemporary Café:
which offers a Character Breakfast with a menu similar to Donald's Breakfastosarus at WDW's Animal Kingdom, but stripped of its dinosaur/prehistoric theming.

Characters include Donald, Daisy, Scrooge McDuck, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto.


DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD HOTEL:

Roger's Buffeteria:
Themed to the 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Roger's Buffeteria features character dining at Breakfast and Dinner, where Roger is joined by a wide variety of his Disney friends!

Breakfast: Roger, Minnie, Goofy, Max, Rafiki, and Timon

Dinner: Roger, Mickey, Donald, Pluto, Peter Pan, and Wendy

I made a few more revisions (again!) since I posted this, just in case you'd like to know. Please try to LMK what you think! :)
 
Nice Character Variation

For Crystal Palace it would be nice to also maybe see Owl roaming and have a Kanga with Roo set up as a greater. This could be a sitting Kanga and have a puppet Roo in her pouch.

My theory has always been that Character meals should have character that you commonly can't find at Meet and Greets, not be all rare characters but have popular ones with one or two rare ones per meal.

I also agree that the way you don't overuse the same characters is a great part to this idea. I like that character meals at the Crystal Palace are all day too. You're ideas are excellent, keep up the good work. :D

DISNEYLAND HOTEL

1900 Park Faire:


Breakfast: Mary Poppins, Bert, Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit

Afternoon Tea (for children 3-10 years old): This is more of a children's activity session much like Wonderland Tea Party at WDW's 1900 Park Faire. There's also a similar children's Tea Party with Wendy Darling on the Disney Cruise Line.

Characters in this Afternoon Tea include Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit.

Dinner: Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, Pinocchio, and Geppetto.
