Café La Bamba Character Breakfast

[happysocky]

Where is La Bamba Cafe? I cant find it on the site. And and other info on this breakfast.

I don't think it has actually started yet---not until Dispicable Me is open. Cafe LaBamba is across from Horror Make Up Show. . On the interactive map, it is the building with the brown roofs. Since the restaurant has been closed, it isn't labelled on the map.

You can book it here... https://www.universalorlando.com/Ticket-Store/PurchaseTickets.aspx?AddOns

Has anyone done this experience yet? We just signed up for it - packed a punch on the wallet as it doesn't currently have any discounts for AP holders or AAA members. At four adults (kids are 10+ now) it is a pricey breakfast.... but my DD14 is a die-hard character greeter. Honestly, she's go to a park JUST to see characters and get signatures and photographs. So it will be a big deal to her to see new characters like Patrick and Squidward and the Minions.

But if anyone has done it, please report, I'm curious what the food is like, maybe relative to what Confisco provided at their character breakfast?

And also what the VIP parade experience was like. We're looking forward to that - we're signed up on September 29th - which is a HHN night. The CM explained that they would probably have the parade scheduled early that day and then we could just book it over to Finnegan's from there to wait out HHN opening.

Thanks for any information, we've already booked it and it's non-refundable, but just want to know if others found it to be worth the $$$.

Here's a write up on the breakfast that was pretty informative:

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.... looks like I'll probably regret the cost for what it is, especially since the characters all do signings before the parade. But it will definitely be leisurely and we'll be able to beeline it to characters at the parade who didn't make it to the breakfast I suppose.

Disappointed that it's a limited plate serving of food versus filling up for the day, but what are you going to do....

We have booked it for that morning also. They CM told us the parade would be at 5pm. I have checked their website recently, and it no longer says that says anything VIP but just states there is a parade. It does says there is early entry to those 2 rides which I am unclear on the meaning. Does that mean we have to get to the park at a certain time before it opens or we get a special expresspass? I am also interested in anyone else's experiences.

I'd love to know who is at the breakfast for characters.

I'd love to know who is at the breakfast for characters.

Dora the Explorer and Diego; the Minions and Gru; Spongebob, Squidward and Patrick, Hop from the movie Hop; and I think that's it. Not all of them but some of them from group at any given breakfast.

When we were there a few weeks back, all of them were there, plus a few more characters from the Hop movie.
It was cute, and my son really enjoyed it, but it was hard to eat my meal. After the "dance show", I asked them to reheat my food, and they brought me a whole new plate. (It's not a buffet).
My oldest daughter is there all week, I'll try to get an update from her after they go.
