I'll be the lone dissenter and offer a different take on it. We've ate there twice over the years and just aren't impressed with this buffet. Pros: It's very clean, not noisy at all and it's always to get to the buffet and back to your seat. Characters come around fairly slowly here in my experience but they do make sure you have seen them all. Cons: There just isn't a ton of choices that my family really digs on the buffet. We like ethnic food, so that's not that issue it just feels very limited to me - especially the desserts. I would try it once and decide for yourself. Everyone has different tastes so you never know!!
Also, Donald was not outside doing pics when were there. It was Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Mickey in May.
