Yes Lilo's is all you can eat. I was not impressed with the food. I found that Goofy's had more choices and overall the food tasted better. They seemed to replenish more often at Goofy's too. It could have been the lack of customers at Lilo's though so there was no need to refill as much. But the food tasted like it had been sitting there too long.
There were more lunch options at Goofy's which I like since we always have a late seating. I think this was due to the fact that Goofy's calls itself a brunch, where Lilo's is a breakfast. However the day we went they were serving until 2pm because it was Easter sunday.
Plus I missed not being able to have my PB&J pizza. My favorite item at Goofy's. I don't see any reason to rush back to Lilo's. Unless I end up traveling with a die hard Lilo and Stitch fan. But I much prefer the characters, food and set up at Goofy's. I really only tried Lilo's because there are some DISrs who say its the best hands down, so I wanted to give it a chance. It just didn't do it for me.
Haven't tried Storyteller's because the characters do not interest me. I've eaten lunch there and wasn't overly impressed with the food, so I haven't come across any reason to make me want to try the breakfast. As for Minnie's, haven't been there since the princesses left. Gosh, I guess that's been a few years. But when it was a Princess breakfast I was really put off. There was very little organization. A few characters didn't even come to the back of the restaurant where we were. And we almost missed Belle and the Beast because no one told us that they did not circulate amongst the tables.
The food was bad too. Most of it was cold and it took 20 minutes for me to get an omlete even though there were only 2 people in front of me. The chef was only cooking one at a time instead of using all the burners. I waited because at least I knew I'd get some hot food, unlike the other items in the buffet. I might give it another chance now that it's Minnie's, but always end up back at Goofy's because I've never had a bad experience there.
What you said about Minnie and Friends (food-wise and character-wise) is pretty much along the lines of what I have heard about it. Sometimes I read conflicting reports and people's pictures from Minnie's look nice and fun, so I think it must be great -
until I read another so-so review of the cold food or the characters who don't come to all the tables.
Then again, there are some people who have had complaints about Goofy's food and character interaction (moreso the character interaction than the food), but I know what good experiences I have had there myself for
so many years, and how all my friends like it too, and I can't fathom how anyone could have a bad time (other than being displeased with the high price)!! So I guess it all boils down to personal expectations, preferences and requirements for character meals, and personal opinions. Character meals are not for everyone in general, and then each individual one is not for every character meal-lover!! There are some people who LOVE LOVE LOVE the Storytellers character meal, but I, too, was not interested in the characters there (I love Chip and Dale, but let's face it - those little chipmunks are at every meal except Ariel's, I think!) and I was underwhelmed by the food. It was not BAD, but just so-so, in my opinion. Others feel differently.
Thanks for elaborating on and answering my questions about Lilo and Stitch. On the one hand, I think, 'Try new things; add another character meal to the repertoire.' On the other hand, I think, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it; stick with the tried and true.' I always tell people on DIS that if they are not fairly sure they would enjoy Goofy's or if they have been there once and had a bad time, they should not try it or go back. It is a lot of money to spend on taking a risk that is not certain to pay off. So maybe I should heed my own advice and stick with what works for me! Goofy's does have SUCH a wide variety of items that any other buffet would have to have some pretty great food to compensate for the lack of choices! Well, when I have another trip to DLR in the works (and there are none on the horizon at the moment), I will ponder it more.
I guess they have figured out that too many people share the generous meals there.
Goofy's seems to photograph kind of dark, but it is not really too dark of a place. When you get there you will see what I mean. And yes, you can't beat convenience - just pop downstairs and over to Goofy's. I hope you all have a great time there, and make sure to tell us about it when you get back!
I should try to post a pic of it.
