My DD14 and I did both on our last girls only trip. She is a huge Stitch fan, but he was the only good character interaction during the meal. Seriously one of our worst character interactions ever. We arrived about 15 minutes before our ADR. There was a family with 2 little ones in front of us in line, but they didn't have an ADR. When the hostess told them there were no available seats, I got nervous that we would be waiting forever. We didn't. We were handed a pager that went off about 30 seconds later and we were seated in a half empty restaurant. That really put a bad taste in my mouth right away, them turning away a family with small kids. We hadn't even sat down yet when Mickey stopped by. I thought he was just making a quick stop to say hi, but no it was his visit. I had to dig my camera out of my bag quickly. The remaining characters all stopped by our table within 10 minutes of us sitting down. My DD and I had DisneyBounded as Lilo and Stitch. She was Stitch with a cute Stitch bow in her hair, and I was Lilo and I had a Scrump bow in my hair. Lilo didn't notice any of it, and as with most of the other characters, the interaction was just blah. Stitch was great! He saw my bow first and was so excited! Then he saw my DD's and was just beyond thrilled. We both left the meal disappointed. The food was good, but not worth the price.
A couple of days later we had breakfast at 1900PF. OMG we had a wonderful time! We'd done dinners there before, so we were both looking forward to the strawberry soup. I also fell in love with the pecan sticky buns. My DD's not a big eater, but she loved the soup. The characters this visit were great. I will be so disappointed if they leave the Mad Hatter outside of the restaurant, he is hilarious! My DD and I were both enjoying the strawberry soup when he got to our table and he looked at our soups, mortified, and yelled "What is that?!?!" We told him it was strawberry soup and he said it looked disgusting. We told him it was very good. He told us that we were eating it wrong and ran to the back, yelling. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but he came back after a couple of minutes with 2 straws and told us "This is how you eat soup!" And then he told us it was a race to finish our bowls. We had so many people around us watching, even had one guy videotaping the encounter. I was laughing so much, and that was seriously our favorite character interaction ever. We went back last summer for breakfast, and the characters weren't as good, but the food was.
to get you going 1st thing in the morn.
