Chef Mickey or Garden Grill?

[PinkEars]

My son (6) loves Pluto and still carries/sleeps with his stuffed pluto we got him last year at disney. So im really wanting a character meal with Pluto.

Id prefer a dinner because we will have more time in the evening to sit and enjoy and not feel rushed wanting to hurry up and get to the parks and also getting up really early and make it to our reservation.

We have never been to Chef Mickeys for breakfast or dinner and would like to try it. but seems the character interaction is great at Garden Grill! Would love for son to get to spend as much time with Pluto as possible.

Which would you choose?? I was planning on this as our arrival day dinner

Pluto is at both. The times we have been to Garden Grill, it has been much calmer and we had great character interaction. Plus, I love Garden Grill after doing the land ride. Then, as the restaurant turns, we can relive the ride. CM is a good breakfast in AM and we have had characters come twice during breakfast before. However, CM for dinner was terrible. It was extra loud, really dark (if after sunset, then all those windows there), food was bad, and since they had that character parade, they only came to table once. We will go to CM for breakfast, but never again for dinner.
