So, is all of the food at the character meals just sort of mediocre? This seems to be the impression that I get.

As a general rule, yes, the food at character meals is lackluster. Folks come on these boards all the time and ask for help deciding among 1900 Park Fare, Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's. I think they're indistinguishable, and the same applies to pretty much all the character meals around property.So, is all of the food at the character meals just sort of mediocre?

We have booked:
* Akershus (lunch)
* Hollywood and Vine (lunch)
* Chef Mickey (breakfast)
* Spirit of Aloha (obviously dinner)
* Crystal Palace (lunch)
We wanted to go places where our kids would know the characters. That was the big thing for us. They won't know any at 1900... so, we figured one show for us adults (SoA) and then the others all for them.
We'll see how they go, I guess. I'm thinking if I don't go in with high expectations on the food and just look forward to the experience and the interaction, that will put us ahead in how we remember it.![]()
I haven't heard ANYTHING good about Hollywood and Vine. Just so you know

The breakfast at Tusker House seems to be an exception. I've only been there once, but I was pleasantly surprised. There seemed to be better variety on the buffet, and the food definitely was of higher quality than most of its counterparts.
We do it for the characters cuz we have three kids ages 9, 7, & 1.....and we hate standing in long lines in the heat to get pictures so eating at the character meals minimizes that
