Has anyone gone to the Scooby Dinner at HRH Kitchen? How was it?

I was just wondering how the scooby dinner at the HRH Kitchen is? Who is there? I read that it is Scooby and Woody Woodpecker. Do you just order off the menu and have the characters walk around? THANKS

We have been to 'The Kitchen' twice when Scooby Doo was there. Both times we didn't know there was going to be characters in the restaurant. We just ordered off the menu as normal and then around 45 minutes later scooby came around to our table! Normally, i'm not a great fan of character meals and my 2 year old daughter wasn't too impressed, but I guess she was still a little young to have a six foot dog hanging around our table! And she had only met one character (barney) prior to this. Anyway, scooby was fantastic and realised she was a little wary of him, so he hung back and everytime she got a little scared, he would put his hands over his eyes, then run off and hide. Eventually she came around to him and even had photos taken with him. The second time we went Scooby and woody were in there. As always at the kitchen, the meal was fantastic, if a little bit more over priced than the City Walk restaurants, but I guess you get what you pay for. I can definitley reccomend it. Breakfast can also work out quite expensive. I would reccomend skipping this and going straight to an early lunch or eating breakfast over at Pastamore or for a light breakfast grab a croissant in the parks. Hope this helps.

We are going to US/IOA for the first time next month, so I'm a complete newbie. Where is the HRH Kitchen and do they always have Scooby Doo there during meals? My son would love to see Scooby Doo.

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel back in mid-October and ate at The Kitchen on a Saturday night (10/15).
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 don't like what's on 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 ...
