We did 3 of the four character meals offered (Princess one was out of our budget).
Minnie's was back to normal, and we had several characters. We've had more in the past, but we got the most characters at this meal. Minnie is ONLY available at the very beginning with the photos, but she will sign autograph books and interact with you. We saw Pooh and Tigger (no Eeyore this time), Perla the mouse, Daisy Duck (quite a surprise - I'd never seen her there before!), Chip & Dale, and Pluto. Interactions were exactly like before-times, with lots of back and forth, time for autographs and photos with multiple people in our party of 7, and it was my favorite of the 3.
Goofy's Kitchen we did for dinner. Goofy's interactions were similar to Minnie's - plenty of time for autographs, many different picture poses, photog took some candids of the kids too which I loved and wish they did at Minnie's too! Inside though, it was as others have shared - the characters parade through to an upbeat song, and often don't even pause long enough to catch a decent photo. We were there for several parades, and it looks like Goofy leads one an hour, and the other times he is not there. We saw Minnie, Chip & Dale, and Pluto there. This was actually my kids' favorite - I think in part because they had already met and had more interactions with all the characters there, it didn't matter as much that they weren't doing autographs. I'm not sure they would feel the same way if they hadn't already done that though.
Storytellers we did for breakfast. The buffet was just fine, we all found something to enjoy and left full. I kind of wish we could have gone later for brunch, but it was our departure day and we had a long drive ahead of us and needed to get going. There was no PP opportunity at the beginning, you just go in and are seated. We also were left to grab our own buttons and I almost missed them sitting in a basket. Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dale, and Pluto were there. They went by each table and we had quite a bit of interaction with them, although not quite as much as at Minnie's. There was plenty of time for autographs if we had needed them, and they did at least one picture pose for us each time by. I love them in their adventure outfits!
I was happily surprised that Daisy was at Minnie's, but a little disappointed Donald wasn't anywhere. Definitely missed his Surf's Up breakfast they used to do at PPH.
