For us it's one of our favorite character meals. I am glad that we got to try it last October before MNSSHP. It was nice to sit and eat while the characters came to us, and the interaction was fantastic!
We won't go there anymore, the food is fine, but not worth the price AT ALL without the characters.
I haven't signed any of the petitions, but am talking with my money. Disney listens better when you talk with your money.
However, I confess - if they improve the menu I may give it a try. I am just boycotting the current menu without characters.
We ate there in May and it was very good food! I really enjoyed it. We will be going back in september! I doubt we will go back when the characters are gone though!
