We went to the dinner on the Friday of Memorial Weekend. It was wonderful! We had an ADR for 8:30 and were seated in about 20 minutes. We used the time to wander around the GF, taking pictures of the kids. As we were seated, many guests were leaving. However, we never felt rushed at any point. In fact, we had much more character interaction than we would have had at an earlier seating. Also, CM's continued to refresh the food on the buffet throughout our visit. Our 2.5 yo dd just glowed every time Cinderella approached. Our almost 5 yo ds was less interested in the characters and more into the large selection of foods on the children's buffet (more than I saw at any other WDW buffet). Dh and I LOVED the food here. I could have made a meal out of just the salads and strawberry soup. Yummmm! While this is one of the few restaurants where I wouldn't feel comfortable dining without children (There were NO adult-only groups during our visit.), it has become a "must-do" when we have the children along. I heartily recommend it to anyone with a Cindy-lover in his/her family!!
