Character Meal Prices & Vouchers

[NewbieMouse]

I just called to finalize some of my reservations, and so I thought I'd ask about the prices for the meals we're considering since that's been something I've had a hard time nailing down. Here's what I was told:

Goofy's Kitchen - Brunch: 29.99 Adults, 15.99 Kids (3-9)
Goofy's Kitchen - Dinner: 35.99 Adults, 15.99 Kids
Ariel's Princess - Lunch: 36.99 Adults, 20.99 Kids
Storytellers Chip & Dale - Breakfast: 24.99 Adults, 12.99 Kids
PCH Surf's Up with Mickey - Breakfast: 29.99 Adults, 15.99 Kids

These are SUMMER prices, which the CM said go into effect as of June 11th. I was told that taxes and gratuities are not included in the above prices. Tax is 8.75%, and a gratuity of 15% would be added for a party of four (they specifically asked me that, so perhaps that % is higher for larger parties).

My interest in the prices is because I'm trying to decide on these character meal vouchers. It looks like the vouchers offered by WDTC for Goofy's dinner, Ariel's lunch and PCH Grill would offer some savings, once you factor in tax and gratuity. I guess the LMT vouchers would offer even more savings; I have't quite decided if the hassle is woth it yet for few extra bucks we'd save at LMT. I know my Disney ones will come to me wth no hassle, couriered, and wrapped up with a bow , which is worth something to me.

Anyways, just thought it might be useful for others.

Good info! Thanks!

Those prices for Goofy's are actually not just for summer, but for any "peak season." That's exactly what the price is around the holiday season as well (like through the end of November on through December) and any other peak holiday time. It comes out to be $37 and some change after tax and tip.

Goofy's breakfast is about $5 cheaper than that (total after tax & tip) during the off-peak times (like late September, for example). So an off-peak breakfast at Goofy's is always the cheapest way to go, and the peak season dinner is the most expensive!

Storytellers Critter breakfast buffet, during off-peak seasons, is usually $22.99.

I actually had no idea that Ariel's was so expensive before tax and tip! I thought the price came out to be about the same as Goofy's at peak season, but clearly Ariel's has a starting rate that is higher even before tax and tip are added. Yikes! I am glad I have no need to dine with the Princesses!!
