This is a part from a trip report I posted on another board. Thought I'd pass this along here, too. :)

We had at least one PS a day. A few worth mentioning –
Family Magic Tour, used our DVC discount, but still not worth the money. An hour and a half of hot, boring “scavenger hunt” that my youngest was completely uninterested in and sat in her stroller most of the time. We also had a hard time keeping up as the park was so crowded. The last thirty minutes picked up when Peter Pan joined us and my youngest jumped out to join the rest of the kids. He deserved an Academy Award for sure! Both DH and I agreed he must be exhausted by the end of the day. He was just fab! He took us to see PhilharMagic and both my daughters sat on either side of him. He talked to my youngest the entire time, helping her with her glasses, hugging her, etc. They became Honorary Lost Girls after it was all done. Fun at the end, but they need to work on the first part of the tour.

Cinderella’s Gala Feast at the GF, 1900 Park Fare is always worth the money to me. Love that strawberry soup! Always a fantastic buffet. Characters were great, wow that Prince sure was charming! Talk about handsome! Goofy was in the lobby with the Fairy Godmother and was a hoot! And the look on my youngest’s face when Cinderella was talking to her. Wow... they only have that wonder for such a short time. My oldest at six has already lost it. It goes by too fast!

Wonderland Tea Party at the GF was a huge hit with the girls! One of the CMs had a little bit of attitude with me when I mentioned to her someone had told me my daughter had a special seat set aside for her due to her food allergies. She actually told me – WHATEVER… Made my blood boil for sure! Sure enough, we got in and my daughter was seated next to Alice with all her food wrapped up for her. They loved it! I think this was their fav part of the trip. Worth every penny! DH and I ate at the Grand Floridian Café while they were at the Tea Party. Weren’t impressed. Never of us liked our entrée, but the crab cakes and desserts were good.

Donald’s Breakfastosaurus at AK was a bust. I had read bad reviews before, but it was one of the few character meals we had yet to try out. Just as the reviews mentioned, we were rushed, rushed, rushed. A matter of fact, when Mickey came to our table a CM asked us to be standing up and ready for a pic before he even came over. He was with us for less than half a sec, I barely got my camera in focus! On a more positive note, the chef was accommodating with the food allergies and brought my daughter out a nice plate with fresh fruit, etc.

Other PSs were at Sci-Fi, Garden Grill and 50’s Prime Time. They all went well and were enjoyable as always. Any questions please ask!
 
Thanks for your reviews. We have never been to Cincerella's Gala Feast, or the Tea Party and we also haven't done the Family Magic tour.

Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you had a great time overall!

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your Family Magic Tour. We had a ball on ours!

After reading your review (among others), I'm glad we decided against Donald's breakfast at AK.

Thanks for sharing!

Sorry you didn't enjoy the Family Magic Tour ... my grandkids (now 7 & 9) loved it so much last summer that we're doing it again this year.

We've done Donald's Breakfastosaurus twice and never felt rushed ... although the first time Donald never made it to our table before we had finished eating so we just stopped him on our way out for a photo and autograph ... he was quite accomodating.
