We were there two and half weeks ago for breakfast. We choose this over Goofy's kitchen because of all the rave reviews on this board. And because we have done Goofy's several times, we thought that this would be a nice change. We were very disappointed when it was all said and done.
The food was good, but I think there were more choices at Goofy's kitchen. And then the character interaction was terrible, well a least with the guest of honor, Stitch.
Our reservations were for 9:10 and we were lucky enough to be seated a little early. We thought that would give us plenty of time to see and visit with all the characters. However this was not the case. The only character we got to see mulitple times was Pluto. He came around several times and was great with my three kids, (DD 14
, DD12
and DS 7
) But the others were terrible. Lilo only came once and she was very quick. We got her right before break time so she hurried through the visit at our table. We felt very cheated from that experience.
Then we had to wait forever to see Stitch. Again, like I said before it was break time and all the characters just disappeared. So we finished eating and started asking anyone that worked there when we could see Stitch. They kept telling us that he would be out in a few minutes. Well that went on for 20 mins. Then our server was trying to get rid of us and kept telling us goodbye as she walked by to another table. I finally told her we weren't leaving until we saw Stitch.
She went to talk to the manager and again we were told it would be a few more minutes. By this time my DS was heart broken. He was so excited to see and meet Stitch. He hardley ate a thing because of his excitement and now he was starting to think he was going to have to leave with out seeing him or getting his autograph. He started to cry. It was so sad.
Well then my DH and I started to notice that other tables were getting a little upset and not seeing Stitch and having to wait forever. They too were asking where he was.
When Stitch finally came out he started out with a family who had just been seated 5 mins prior. I was getting upset by then.
We had been waiting forever and had asked for him several times. We were done with our meal and just wanted out of there by that point. Then, all these kids from other tables who were waiting forever too started running up to him just to see him and get a picture. It was crazy!! When he finally made it to our table, 10 minutes later, we got a few pictures and an autograph and then got out of there. Stitch wasn't fun and crazy like everyone had said. He didn't come to our table many times to do some crazy things and to have fun with the kids. He didn't meet our expectations at all.
We were very disappointed with this character breakfast as was a friend of mine who was also there that day. (She had a seating 40 mins prior to mine.) I don't think we will do it agin just because of the poor interaction we had while there. We feel that Goofy's was much better and a lot more fun for our kids. I was hoping to add another great place to our list, but this one is definately not going on our list. I hope you have better luck than we did!!
