Confused about restaurant opening times!

[buttercup1982]

I'm having a couple of character meals and wanted to book them for when the characters come out ie: Auberge, cafe Mickey and Inventions. The only trouble is I've read about three different times for each one. I've read Auberge opens at 11.30 on one site then 12 on another and then 12.30.:confused3 I want to try and be at the front as it opens so we can get a good table near the dance floor.:)
With Cafe Mickey and Inventions I want to go at a time the kids will get a good interaction.
I don't want to book a table and then get there and it be so busy we are stuck at the back.
Please help!

Auberge most definitely opens at 12, we were there last week. It isn't open every day though, used to be closed Monday & Tuesday, don't know if it still is.
If you get to the doors at about 11.50 you'll be at the front of the queue and be able to have your photo done with Cinderella to be in the restaurant quickly, as the characters come out almost straight away and you can get good interaction with them before the tables start to really fill up.
Cafe Mickey has characters at lunchtime and in the evening.
Inventions I think has characters only in the evening.

Yes Inventions only has characters in the evening and opens at 6.00

Cafe Mickey opens at 12.00 at lunchtime and the characters start soon after and I think its about 6.00 in the evening that they appear.

And yes I agree get to Auberge for about 11.50 and you should be first in

Last time we went we had an evening meal at Cafe MIckey. It was booked for 6pm I think and the interaction we had was awesome, it was really quiet so ds got to dance with them all and they were playing all kinds of games with him too. Brilliant stuff. We intend on doing an early evening meal again when we go in a few weeks.
