Old Character meals that don't exist anymore?

[Hebobeebler]

So, I have this vague memory of eating breakfast at the Coral Reef and seeing Mickey and Minnie back when I was 5 in maybe 93 or 94. I don't know if my memory is really foggy and I'm just combining restaurants that I went to back then or if that was an actual thing (I know Mickey isn't at the Coral Reef now). I was wondering if there were lots of character meals that don't exist anymore that you guys can remember and why they changed them? Also, do you wish they were still there or do you like that the characters have moved to somewhere else? This is just for fun out of curiosity.

We took our kiddos to the Pocahontas breakfast at Wilderness Lodge in 1996. Our youngest was very into Pocahontas, and got a kiss on his forehead. John Smith and Meeko were there, also.

Ones we did I can think of at moment:

- The Empress Lily Breakfast at DTD, now Fulton's was Mickey Minnie etc. (1992)
- Artist Point in Wilderness Lodge Breakfast was Minnie & Gang, funny I just found those pictures. Shock of my life when Goofy talked to me!! (1996)
- Soundstage Restaurant at DHS, multiple meals with lots of characters that changed over the years. We ate there a number of times. Most meals met around 6+ characters. Beauty/Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame.
- I think Chef Mickey was originally at DTD in the Marketplace.

We did the Pocahantas breakfast at Wilderness Lodge and an Aladdin themed one at DHS (MGM back then) in the 90s. Ft Wilderness also had a character breakfast at Pioneer Hall with Chip, Dale, Daisy and Donald as well as a talking moose head mounted on the wall.

I think the character breakfast at the Empress Lily may have been the first character meal. Chef Mickeys was in the DTD marketplace. Although not a cbaracter meal, I also remember Broadway at the Top - a dinner show in what is now Ca Grille

Soundstage was the best they would change it to the theme/ popular movie we did Aladdin and then a Toy Story one.

And LTT used to have characters at dinner.

It started as a normal QS. Very happy when it switched to character TS. One of the biggest losses to DHS. We loved to book a late lunch and we would always end up with lots of characters sitting down with us.

That's right! I wasn't keen on that one. The tables are so tight in there the characters stumbled all over people and tables.

I wish they had a meal now that rotated currently popular characters...that sounds awesome. It would probably be hard to get ressies for though.

I also went to the Pocahontas breakfast at Wilderness lodge when I was around 8. I remember Meeko was there as well as Brer Bear and Brer Fox, oddly.

There was a character meal we took the kids to back in the 90's that was at the Contemporary. It was a breakfast buffet and the figures I remember were Chip n Dale. Anyone remember the name of the buffet?

Chip, Dale, goofy, Pluto, and Donald at Liberty tree tavern.

At one time the WL character meal had Pooh and friends. We went to the villains character dinner at 1900 Park Fare in 2001.

I would love to see them bring back some of these or at least add more variety to the character meal lineup.

Yes it was at The Contemporary Cafe, before Chef Mickeys was there. it was called Minnie's Character Breakfast, I think...

Oh and Donald's breakfast at AK use to be at Restaurantosaurus instead of Tusker House.

Yep! That was our favorite in Dinoland. It was Donald,Mickey,Goofy and Pluto.

Before Pocahontas at Artist Point, the character breakfast was Pooh & Friends.

Does anyone else remember the Melvin the Moose character breakfast at FW Pioneer Hall with the kazoos? "Wake Up You Silly Moose!" How about Minnie Menehune's at the Polynesian (I forget what the restaurant was called then, where Ohana's is now). And at the Contemporary, I think it was the Contempo Cafe in 1987, there was a dinner buffet with Goofy. What's really sad to me is the realization that all the character meals we took our kids to on our first couple trips are no longer in existence.
