Character breakfast at Disneyland Paris: check the exact meal
Check Plaza Gardens’ renovation closure and distinguish Royal Banquet lunch and dinner from a character breakfast.
Updated on 25 September 2026 using the official sources below. This is a planning guide, not a first-hand restaurant review.
Start with the meal, not just the restaurant name
A hotel breakfast, a buffet and a meal with Disney Characters are different products. Before paying, check the exact service, date, admission requirements and characters policy in Disney’s booking information. Our earlier comparison incorrectly presented Plaza Gardens and Royal Banquet as interchangeable character-breakfast choices.
Plaza Gardens during the renovation
Disney announced that Plaza Gardens closed for renovation in April 2026, with work continuing until early 2027. Check Disney’s latest update before planning a meal; an exact reopening date has not been confirmed in that announcement.
For a character meal during the closure, compare Auberge de Cendrillon, Royal Banquet and The Regal View, checking the selected service and admission conditions.
Royal Banquet and Auberge de Cendrillon
Royal Banquet is the buffet restaurant at Disneyland Hotel. Disney advertises character dining at lunch and dinner; a breakfast booking should not be treated as the same character experience.
Lunch and dinner bookings are open to all, according to Disney. This differs from La Table de Lumière dinner, which is reserved for Disneyland Hotel residents. Characters present can vary.
Valid Disneyland Park admission is required. Disney lists the character breakfast during Extra Magic Time for Disney Hotel guests and Gold Disneyland Passholders only. Check the current conditions for the exact meal you select.
Compare the total price for your whole group and any meal-plan supplement. A named character is not guaranteed. Choose a backup meal and do not buy an alert for a restaurant that is closed during your visit.

Plan the rest of your meals
Check the official Disneyland Paris calendar for your date and party size. Bookings can open up to two months ahead, or from stay confirmation for Disney Hotel guests; some restaurants open later. A meal plan does not replace a table booking.
Try another time or date and keep an alternative restaurant. DlandTables offers paid email alerts for matching availability; you complete the booking with Disney. An alert does not guarantee a table.
