On the question of character meals being too "young", I scheduled some for us for the first time in in a long time last year. DS was 17, DD16, DD's BFF 16, me and DH. The two that I thought would hate it ended up having the most fun!! DH who doesn't like WDW and DS17 who it wouldn't be cool to be seen with the characters had a blast!! DD and her BFF had a great time too, but weren't quite as in to it as the guys were!!! Too funny!!!
