who else does NOT agree with this?!

I recently did the Jedi Mickey buffet there too and the food as I wrote in my review was AWFUL

Why doesn't dosney change this?

Why are character meet and greets around the awful buffet??

Listen I got what I wanted as I needed to see Jedi Mickey in his clothing, but man I couldn't believe he price for this disgusting food!

I agree it takes the time to make bad food the same it takes to make good food!

Let's bring more attention to this so maybe Disney makes Hollywood and vine MUCH better.

Also too ill be honest the buffet by my house is 12.99 and has amazing amazing options!

I understand that some are willing to sacrifice to give their children a great character experience. But I feel that they should not have to for that price. For that amount of money you should get decent food and service.

Seems that this place falls into the same category as Tony's - a mystery as to how it survives considering how bad the experience is.

Two years ago we were in Disney, went to Tony's for my birthday. I was all actually really good. My sister and brother in law both have allergies. The chef came out and talked to them about what they can eat or what the chef could change. It ended up all really yummy. Would definitely go back. CM's were all really great and on the ball. Place was clean and well...it was a great experience. I have heard a few bad reviews but not nearly the amount of bad reviews the Hollywood Vine gets. I was going to go there last year...decided to go to Mamma Melrose...it was OK but I won't bother going back there. It smelled great, but food was lack luster at best. Service was less than desirable which was the nail in the coffin for me. It was "busy" but not packed and had to wait over 20 minutes for a drink when we were first seated.

Because people will pay for it. Until there is economic pressure for change, don't expect to see it.

We went there in 2011 when we realized we had one more TS credit and we were spending our last day of vacation in MK. We were pleased. Now, I can make better chicken parmesan myself, but I'm a little prejudiced towards my own cooking.

I've been to Hollywood and Vine before and said I wouldn't go again however I really really wanted to see these characters

Pete should also note with the fantastic seating it's even more...

Again I would love a good buffet here the meats look so wet and disgusting if you read my restaurant review about Jedi Mickey I mostly hovered over the kids options which had chicken tenders, corn dog nuggets, and Mac and cheese ...so bad

I thought the food was decent at H&V on our last trip. However, we went for breakfast. It is difficult to mess up breakfast. I felt the same was a you regarding the two character meals we did for dinner: Garden Grille and Chef Mickey's. Both were terrible this trip.
