Disney World Character Meals by Noise Level

Character Meals in Walt Disney World can be a tricky thing to figure out. Luckily, our Disney Food for Families columnist, Erin Foster, created a great breakdown to help you decide exactly which character meal is going to fit your family’s needs! The focus of this information is the level of noise at each character meal, so if you value relative quiet — or a loud, boisterous meal — this is for you.

Erin Foster originally included this Value because she often saw inquiries about noise level at meals when answering questions for DisneyWorldMoms.com. The questioners were typically the parents of children with sensory integration or autistic spectrum issues, or parents of teens who wanted a more low-key character experience. She noted: “I haven’t found any official source for noise level at Disney Restaurants, so this is my 100% unscientific, personal assessment of character meal volume.”

Please Note: During the reopening phase of Walt Disney World Resort, a modified Character Dining experience is offered at select locations. Please visit our main Character Dining page to see the current status of all character meal options.
