character meals

[KalBen]

Does US/IOA or the on-site hotels have character meals? If so, at what restaurants? How do I make reservations? We are going over Easter break (staying at RPR) so I want to make them as early as possible. Thanks for the help!

Hi, KalBen!

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel this past weekend and ate at The Kitchen on Saturday night.
They have a character meal with Scooby Doo and Woody Woodpecker.
No buffet for the adults (we ordered off the regular menu), but there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids.
For $8.95, there was salad/toppings, strawberries, chicken strips, french fries, quesadillas, taco meat, nachos/toppings, and huge cookies.
They still offer the regular kids' menu, too, if your kids wouldn't like the buffet.
The restaurant was only about 1/2 full and the characters came by several times.
I'm pretty sure it's only offered on Saturday nights from 6-9 PM and you'd call the Hard Rock Hotel for reservations.
The Kitchen also has a little play area called "The Crib," where they have a tv (playing Nick cartoons) and some toys.
Our kids ate their food, then went to play a little - Kind of nice for my DH and myself to have about 15 minutes alone after our vacation as a family!
Our bill was around $80, including tip. Just beware - The kids' buffet and kids' meals don't include drinks and they were $2.50 each, the same as adult drinks.
We had a great time and I would recommend the restaurant if your kids like Scooby and Woody!
Enjoy ...

Just an FYI.... I called to make reservations for the end of November. They only take reservations 30 days in advance.

Easter week may be different though.
