There are no characters at the buffet. You can make ps's 60 days out. It is right across the lagoon from Boardwalk and it is not a long walk from there at all.

The food is very good. It is better than before. There is a huge variety. There are clams, mussels, steamed shrimp, chicken, ribs, fish and chips, carving station, steamed shrimp, mashed potatos, red potatos, corn on the cob, salads, steamed mixed vegetables, and pasta. There are kid specialties for anyone to try such as hushpuppies, chicken nuggets, mini burgers and hot dogs and mac and cheese. There are soups and chowders and a nice selection of breads including corn bread. The desserts are great. I love the oreo cookie thing. Lots of variet there to.

The service is also very good.

We went here on our trip in March and loved it. I think you can make your PS 120 days out- according to our PassPorter book you can. Anyway, there were no characters at dinner. We had 5 people in our party- 3 adults and two kids (ages 5 and 20 months) and everyone loved it. My mother in law and my husband loved the seafood (clams and shrimp)and clam chowder, while I loved the ribs and salmon. There were lots of veggies and salads to choose from- cole slaw, fruit salad, regular salad, pasta salads, steamed squash (yum), roasted potatoes, corn on the cob. Then there was a pasta dish with seafood, some sort of stir fried beef, rice, prime rib, pork ribs, rolls, soups. The kids buffet (Which anyone can eat from) had chicken strips, mini hot-dogs, mac and cheese and fish nuggets. The dessert buffet was way better than Chef Mickeys (the other buffet we went to)- they didn't have ice cream (like CM's) but they had TONS of different cakes, pies, cookies, apple cobbler with whipped cream, donuts---which someone on here said they were Krispy Kremes---I don't know but my kids thought it was awesome to have a donut for dessert. A soft drink or iced tea/coffee is included in the price, and our waitress brought carafes of it so we didn't have to track her down to ask for refills. She was very, very sweet and friendly- ask for Linda! Also, I think the price was $23.99- it had just gone up $2 than what was advertised on Deb's site. It was 9.99 for our 5 year old and the baby was free (under 3 is free I believe).

Oh, one more thing- before our PS time, we walked over to the Boardwalk, so it is definitely within walking distance of the Boardwalk Villas. It's maybe a 10-15 minute walk. Have fun! It's on our "must go back" list.

No, this isn't a character meal. The character meal is in the morning, and included Minnie and Goofy and friends in old fashioned beach attire.

2) How is the food...both for adults and children? (ages 8 & 3 1/2)

We have always found the food to be plentiful, delicious and temperature appropriate, and the service to be wonderful. The atmosphere is very condusive to a family meal, and my DD loves the carousel horses, colorful beach umbrellas, and sandcastle sculptures. That is why we go to this restaurant at least once every trip! The children's buffet is nice, with the usual fair... a pasta dish, chicken nuggets, mini hotdogs, mac and cheese, plus, they can eat from the adult buffet, too. The adult food bar includes a wonderful salad bar, your choice of chili or New England Clam Chowder, steamed clams, shrimp and mussels, baked fish, a pasta dish, a chicken dish and Prime Rib... as well as vegetables, including mashed potatoes, red skin potatoes, green beans, and corn on the cob. You may add on Snow Crab legs for an added price.

3) Are the reservations 60 or 30 days out?[/QUOTE}

The Priority Seating is 120 days out... resorts and World Showcase restaurants have this policy.

4) What is the proximity to the Boardwalk Villas? Can you walk here?

You can very easily walk from the Boardwalk Villas to Cape May... the walk is no more than 10 minutes, and probably less.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Others who responded have done an outstanding job giving you the scoop on Cape May in excellent detail. I just wanted to add that we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there, and hope to go back sometime.

A favorite of our too. My mouth is watering just thinking about the add-on of the crab legs. Well worth the money. I can't wait until our next trip to have them again.

Must have been this thread I was dreaming about last night....ummmm, I can taste those crab legs now. Just booked a trip for October. I can't wait.

There is an extra charge for crab legs. Around $10.00.
