A friend just returned and said that there were not any characters at Hollywood & Vine......She asked a server and they told her to send a complaint. But No reason why they stopped.
Any one know? We are going iin July 2004 and that was a MUST see on our list. Without the characters there,,,,,,,,,

thanks

I am also disappointed in the loss of the characters at H&V. That was always the one place where we had our character dinner for every trip. I am assuming they did away with it because it was never really busy. But now there is no character dining at all @ MGM. :( They also used to have a breakfast at MGM with the Aladin characters, I miss that too :(

I am sooo mad about the closing of H&V. It was by far one of the best Character Breakfasts. Great Character interaction, and great food. This had become a ritual for our family and we wish it would come back!!1
 
Let's move this over to Restaurants and see if anyone knows why they ended the character meal. :)
 

There was never an "official' expanation for this. I sent guest services an email when this change was made. (this was one of our favorite character meals).

A CM called me but had no explanation as to why they made the change, I told her we wouldn't be returning to this restaurant until they brought the charaters back (we did prefer the lunch over the breakfast). Now there are no character meals at MGM.:worried:
 
This really is a disappointment. I had one of the BEST breakfasts there during our last trip. The chef spent a lot of time talking with me, as I have bad food allergies. He made me special pancakes -- which were delicious (although probably nothing like "real" pancakes). He even had our server bring out the mix so that I could read the ingredients myself.

I always thought this was a fun place to eat and loved the characters. It is a shame that there are no character meals in MGM.
 
Actually, we were there last march for the very LAST Character Breakfast at H and V. The CM was crying because they were all being reassigned to other restaurants. They too asked us to write and complain. We did that several times but I guess not enough to make them bring it back. What a shame. You would think the CRO or Disney Dining would try to push their less used Character meals to ease strain on the others. I think maybe people just did not know to ask what else was available.


Plus nothing fixes up the stomach like a Mickey Waffle and Rockin Roller coaster!!!!!!
 
We've had lunch there every December visit (6 yrs in a row) and always looked forward to this lunch. I have some of our best video of the characters interacting with the kids over the years. I will say, however, that each time we went the place was never more than 1/2 full. I too remember the Aladdin meal - it was at the now Disney Playhouse Sounstage. It also was great. The best thing to do is to complain to Disney - they always seem to respond to what their guests want. Favorite place now is 50's Prime Time.
