I have gone back 10 pages and didn't see anything about this meal. What can you tell me about it? Thanks

We took our DS3 to lunch here and he was IN HEAVEN. He absolutely loves the Little Einsteins. We were seated quite on time, and within minutes were greeted by our first character, Goliath. (Characters at this meal are Leo and June from The Little Einsteins and JoJo and Goliath from JoJo's circus.) We had ample time with all four characters, who consistently circled the room to attend each table, often times more than once. There was also a CM who led singing and dancing and a conga line. The food wasn't spectacular, served buffet style. I stuck to the mashed potatos and green beans and was okay. They did have good desserts and sundae bar. The diner itself is very fifties/sixties inspired. All in all, worth every penny for my DS for character interaction, but otherwise not so much.

If your kids love Little Einsteins and JoJo Circus character, this one is a keeper. We went in October and it was great. Characters come around and also every ten minutes or so two CM come out and start a sing-along. The food is sort of standard buffet style, but pretty good. Ask for a specialty drink with your meal (My DW had a sour apple frozen drink, it was really good, and not any extra, at least on the DDP.)

We took my 2.5 year old DD last year to the breakast. She absolutely loved it!! Actually all three of my kids had a great time. The characters dance and sing with the kids and do a fun parade around the restaurant. My DS (6) loved the hashbrowns and has been asking to go back just to eat those LOL. I would highly recommend it!

We had breakfast here in October and our 5 yr old was in heaven. The characters all come around and they have children involvement and dancing with the characters throughout. Play house Disney people lead the songs and things. If you have children that like Little Einsteins and JoJo, we saw June and Leo and JoJo and Golieth, this is a great meal. The breakfast was good, buffet style and hot and fresh.

I recommended it to a coworker who took his 7 yr old dd and 3 yr old ds and they said it was great.

Here are a couple of pics

I agree that this is possibly the character dining with the LONGEST interaction per person. The princesses in Norway, which we'd seen the day before, were in a darned rush by comparison. We liked the vibe and energy at H&V better, too.

Thanks so much! Sounds like my kids will love it. Ds loves Leo and Dd loves June! They will be in heaven!

Love it! Love it! Love it! Best character interaction out off all !

How was the food at breakfast? From the pictures I've seen it looks kind of skimpy. We have ADR's already and DD LOVES Little Einsteins so we are going no matter what I guess. I'm just hoping for some tasty grub to start the day though.

it's all you can eat breakfast foods:

croissants, bagels, breads.
oatmeal, grits, cold cereal.
bananas, oranges, yogurt (yoplait!)
egg frittata
scrambled egggs, bacon (i think baked; it was funky), sausage links
hash brown "footballs"
pancakes
pancakes with chocolate chips inside
waffles with strawberries and str. syrup

and like ten other things I'm forgetting. I was stuffed. It was like all of Denny's breakfast menu at your disposal, go back as often as you like.

breakfast foods are plenty and good, just like C Palace food. We were there 2 wks ago for lunch and really liked it but were super rushed by characters..........poof they were gone......we got great pix cuz Im a photographer) wish I had a clue how to upload from shutterfly to here! Food(lunch ) was decent and CMs who led dance sing thing were spectacular! 3 Under 5 firls at our table were googly eyed and thrilled so GO!!

Agree with everyone so far. If the kids like Playhouse Disney definitely do it. The character interaction is awesome. Lots of singing and dancing too

I'm so glad to hear the positive reports on Play-N-Dine! I was browsing disneyworld.com with my 5yo and he saw the icon - we had to click and he said he wanted to do that on our trip. I made our ADR for breakfast and I'm glad to know what's on the menu - we'll all eat well! (Esp me, who'll be getting the choc-chip pancakes! )
