Okay, so I have one daughter who wants to go to Goofy's Kitchen and another who really wants to go back to Ariel's Grotto for the princesses. I've seen on here that some people have spotted a princess at Goofy's Kitchen...is this the norm? We haven't ever been to Goofy's Kitchen so I'm not sure which characters are "usually" there. Also, is there a better time of day to find a princess or two at Goofy's Kitchen? We'll only be in there one day this time so we don't want to stand in the loooooooooooong PFF lines and upgrading to hopper tickets just for AG just doesn't seem ideal. TIA!
The last few times we have been to Goofy's for breakfast, there have been at least 2 Princesses there. I actually think they are making an effort to keep Princesses around to offer an alternative to those who don't want to go to Ariel's Grotto, for whatever reason. I don't know who is 'working the room' at dinner because we always go for breakfast, but let me run down the last few breakfasts, if I can remember off the top of my head:
This past December 2009, the characters we 'met' at Goofy's were Max, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Mulan and Belle, while Pluto and a third Princess (either Aurora or Cinderella) were over on the other side of the restaurant.
In December 2008, if I recall, the characters were Goofy, Baloo, Chip, Dale, Jasmine and Aurora and Prince Phillip, and I think Pluto may have shown up right before we left.
In October 2008, I think the line-up was Goofy, Baloo, Chip, Dale and Belle, with Pluto at the entrance, and Snow White showed up just as we left.
In 2007, I am blanking out on who was there beyond Goofy, Chip, Dale, Baloo and Pluto, but I think Alice was there (she was lurking aorund on one of these visits), and possibly Aladdin.
In such a long history of Goofy's dining for me, all my visits tend to run together after a while, but I am pretty sure those are the characters we saw on the most recent breakfast visits!
