MGM Character Meal Update Thread

I just got off the phone with Disney dining and the CM I got seemed to think this meal will never happen. She said there was a lot of buzz about it a couple of weeks ago but now she hears it is all called off. :sad:
Say it isn't so!
 
Any news on the supposed vilians party for October at MGM. Hope this isnt just another rumour !!!!
 
Well, not to be too self centered here, but if Disney doesn't get a different character meal venue we will not be dining with the characters much if at all. I don't mean this in a threatening way, just realistically--with teenagers who go frequently what is the draw when it is the same thing always. At this point we have done every available choice multiple times (except Cape May Breakfast) and my teens are at a stage where they don't want to bother unless there is something different. I can't say I blame them (though I will miss the character meals) if we go a few times a year and nothing has really changed why bother? For a while I did it to allow for the character interaction minus the crowds. I go if my nieces are with us since they don't get to go very often, but when it is just us I may as well serve breakfast or lunch in the Villa and save my $75-100 for something else.

Someone already posted in another thread (I'll see if I can find it) that it's been canceled for this year. :(

I called today to make ressies for our second trip in May and the guy that I got told me he was told that it would not be happening this year because of a bunch of issues! FRUSTRATING!
 
Today I got a more upbeat CM, she seemed to think it would still happen by mid summer. Lets all keep our fingers crossed!

:thumbsup2 There doesn't seem to be a "fingers crossed" guy, so I'm hoping that this guy will be appropriate before August! :thumbsup2

I wish they would announce the dates, even if it is after our trip. At least the suspense of whether or not we will get to go will be over.
 
They soo need this character dinner. We are planning our first WWD trip this summer and when I asked my two sons (7 and 5) who they wanted to have dinner with one shouted Woody and the other shouted Buzz at the same time. They have several dinners "girl" geared they need this updated one for the boys. :banana:

I thought Pixar was "this close" to being assimilated by Disney. Unless they've retained some sort of ROFR (right of first refusal) on how they charactars are used, can't see it being a problem.(?) Do you know what site reported this?

Disney hasn't "closed" on the deal with Pixar yet so they are still two seperate entities at this time.
 
I called today...Nothing yet!!!

Being the 1st of April I thought we get lucky!

Thanks to everyone!

Thanks for calling, I totally got caught up in the "free dining" thing and forgot all about calling today.
 
Sigh... hope is springing eternal over here. Maybe by September (fingers, legs, toes, and arms crossed!)
 
Someone on another site said the hold up is with the Green Men. Is that Pixar? Sorry not up on this pixar and Disney thing. When is the merge expected? Anyone know?
