Characters at Garden Grill?

[MinnieMom]

Since the dinner is called Chip 'n Dale's Harvest Feast are they the only two characters there or are there others as well? I'm thinking about adding this ADR to our next trip, but I really don't think we'd be too fond of the food offerings. We'd be going more for the characters and as much as we love Chip 'n Dale I would want to make sure we saw some others as well. Thanks!

I believe Mickey and Pluto are there as well. I thought this was a mediocre meal and the booth seating makes it awkward to hug the characters and take photos.

Chef Mickeys has the fab 5 -Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald and serves breakfast and dinner. The Crystal Palace has Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet and serves B, L, and D and the food is pretty decent too. The Akershus meal in Norway is excellent for meeting friendly princesses! Hope this helps a bit....there are many more meals too!

We did this in December and had Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto.

We have done all the character meals(except the Princess ones) and this is our favourite. The characters came round at least 3 times and spent ages with us. We were seated round the back of the restaurant on a normal table and it was a lovely quiet spot.

We all enjoyed the food but the interaction was what made this extra special for us.

As mentioned, Farmer Mickey, Pluto and Chip & Dale We've found the character interaction to be fantastic here! We took my dad & stepmom last time and Pluto was flirting with stepmom allnight

Chip & Dale were hilarious. Dale kept getting into trouble -- he stole DS's hat right off his head and went running off with it, then held it up higher than DS could reach Chip came and scolded Dale for that
Dale still playing "keep away" he's holding DS's blue hat:

We saw/played with each character twice that night (and DS was the youngest at 10yrs)

Food is actually pretty darn good. The turkey was good and the flank steak was very good. I'm not a fan of catfish, but DH who never liked it before absolutely loved it! The veggies & salad are excellent (they use the stuff they grow in The Land) The kids dinner is chicken strips, mac & cheese and french fries. Even though both of my kids were "Disney adults", when we asked, they were more than happy to bring the kid food to our table as well

Yup - Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale - food was just OK but character's are great. We were there in November.

We were there in Feb and enjoyed the meal very much. We actually find that the booth setup offered a much more private and peaceful meal setting than any of the other character meals. That is a plus in *our* book. The food was very good and the characters were GREAT. *NO* "love and shove" here...lots of time spent with them

BTW..Chip, Dale, Farmer Mickey, and Pluto were on hand.

This was my boys favorite character meal by far last trip (and we do a lot of character meals on the DxDDP). They asked to dine here TWICE! Thankfully, with got a second ADR later in the week.

The food is okay, we enjoyed it the first night Not exactly a meal you want to eat twice in one week

They have sweet tea here which my DS5 loves!! So that was another bonus!

We liked the booth seating. We sat the boys on each end so they could have access to the characters. I have to agree, the character interaction is some of the best here. They played with my boys a lot more than at other meals and they came by our table much more.

The restaurant rotating is also cool. They boys liked the changing scenes.

I'd say it's a place to try at least once.
