There are three ways to meet characters:
The accidental meeting. Sometimes the characters are out and about, just passing through, and you can grab a picture and say hi. Rarely does this last long enough to sign autographs or generally hang out.
Stand in line. All over the parks, there are meet and greets. We met Sully and Mike from Monsters, Inc. in a building in Hollywood Studios. Lilo and Stitch are at Animal Kingdom. Mickey and Goofy are pretty much everywhere. It is fun, but time-consuming and sometimes very hot.
Our FAVORITE - The Character Meal. Many of the restaurants in the parks and the resorts have breakfasts, lunches, or dinners with Disney characters. These meals are generous to say the least, as a matter of fact many of them are buffet style. They are air-conditioned and extremely comfortable.
Characters come around to each and every table and interact with the kids. They take pictures, sign autographs, and give the kids a chance to really enjoy them. All of the characters are incredible. Alice has a British accent. Snow White has a squeaky voice. They stay in character the whole time and make an effort to really connect with the kids.
Character meals cost anywhere from around $20 per person for adult breakfasts and $36 per person for adult dinners up to more than $50 per person for dinner at Cinderella's Castle. During our first two visits to Walt Disney World we had two character meals, but since we started purchasing the Disney Dining Plan we do at least one a day.
A good way to look at a list of Character Meals available is to look up the Disney Dining Plan. Character meals are marked with a Mickey Mouse hand on the restaurant list.
