Character Dining Experiences

[JustAKid]

I think having the character dining information in one spot will be helpful. Which experience did you like best, why, what meal were you eating, and most importantly which characters did you see?

My favorite is goofy's for breakfast, but others come in pretty close to it.

Storytellers is good for a nice realaxing meal, the set up in GC is very peaceful and alot quieter then the other charcter meals would be which is a nice touch.

Minnies is another I would recommend, lots of characters constantly coming by, good food but much smaller selection then goofys.

I like goofy's because they have a very wide food selection and some very interesting food selections as well. Not as many characters as minnies but still a good amount

Thanks for your input, Chris!

I voted GK Breakfast: good food, lots of fun, great character interaction. Doing it again in December.

We also enjoyed the Lunch/Dinner at Ariels: great food, it wasn't as much "fun", and the princesses walked from table to table and were gone. I would do it again, but maybe in a few years.

My least favorite has been GK Dinner, but that was because my then 4 yo decided to scream every time she saw a character....did I mention they seated us right next to the character entrance!!

BTW: There is no GK Lunch, and Storytellers is only a character experience for breakfast....

My vote was for Lilo and Stitch. My oldest daughter (age 8) has loved Stitch since she was 1 year old. Whenever we go as a family we always go there. All 3 kids love it there. They play hot lava and learn how to do the hula.

My favorite for me was Goofy's but that was because of the food. My family has not been to Goofy's so I can't give you their feelings towards it.

I just ate at Goofy's Kitchen for dinner a couple of weeks ago. I was disappointed overall. The food selection wasn't that great, to begin with; I was expecting something along the lines of Chef Mickey's in Disney World, but Goofy's Kitchen doesn't hold a candle to it. Aurora, Goofy, Dale, & Minnie came to my table; Belle was in the restaurant but never came anywhere near the side of the restaurant that I was sitting on in the hour that I was there, which was pretty disappointing. I'd heard that there was a larger variety of characters at Goofy's Kitchen (I've seen pictures of Alice and Jasmine there, for instance), and it just didn't live up to what I was expecting.

In our last Nov. 2008 trip we went to three different meals, GK, Lilo and Stitch and the Princess Lunch. I loved Lilo and Stitch's food and we had a lot of characters at our breakfast. We had a lot more fun with the characters at GK, the food was good and that is where we saw the most characters. At the Princess lunch, the food was ok and some of it was quite yucky. But, my 6 year old daughter's face when she talked with all the beautiful princess' was priceless. It is hard to pick what one would be the best. They all have their good and bad points. If We do the Princess thing again, we will definitely try the breakfast and not the lunch or dinner.

They've changed the menu at the Princess meal, you may want to try it again.

We loved GK for breakfast!!!! We went two years in a row!
This past spring we went for Mother's Day and we went to Minnie’s breakfast. It was awful! It was Mother's day so I will say that may have had a lot to do with it! I like that they are actually in the park. But I had to wait in line for a half an hour for an omelet, in the meantime the rest of my food went cold! We couldn't get the kids more food as easily as we could at GK.
I am just unsure if they are always really busy or if it was just because of Mother's day! The characters came really slowly and a few missed us until there was this huge ugly scene with Minnie Mouse, my little girls and some international guests who didn't speak English and didn't understand what was taking Minnie so long. If they had had a cast member with Minnie, it probably wouldn't have gotten so ugly. And I wouldn't have had to complain to the manager ...point being that is why we saw SO many characters there. They also told us that there were "rare" characters out such as Piglet because of Mothers day! Whether or not she was trying to appease me not I'm not sure. But in that extra hour we saw tons of characters Baloo, Piglet, Eyore ( he kissed my head!) Wendy Darling, Max, Minnie Mouse. Wendy Darling was REALLY sweet and she took lots of pics with my girls and talked with each one of them. That was a really nice experience. If that is how it is most of them time then I would love them even if their food wasn’t as great as GK because if I remember right they are cheaper too!
