Has anyone done this? Is it worth it?
Thank you so much, this was so helpful.We did this meal in 2015, and really enjoyed it.....enough to book again for this year. The food wasn't gourmet by any stretch, but there were lots of options (something for every taste) and food was plentiful. The servers and staff were all very friendly and fun, and our biggest complaint about the food portion of the event was that the line moved very, very slowly. Other than that, we couldn't really complain. We both found lots that we liked, and neither of us left hungry. That said, we're pretty easy to please for the most part.
Here's a shot of our tray:

We thought the character interaction was SUPERB. All of the scareactors were wonderfully in character, and the one-on-one interaction was worth the price of the meal alone. Here are some photos of the various scareactors that were present during the meal:

My Universal Photo photographers were at the restaurant, taking photos of each party as you entered and then random shots throughout the restaurant. Each party gets one free digital download from the meal (though we didn't use ours, as we had the annual photo card).

Do they not have handlers to steer the scareactors properly? Some people are more forward and will make sure to get their fair share of pictures, but you surely shouldn't have to approach the scareactors @ this sort of event!
Your photo looked like a single meal.It wasn't all for one person.
The photo was more to give the OP an idea of some of the buffet items that were offered the year we attended than to debate the extent of our appetites.
Of course I let staff know that the SA by passed my table
It did not change the situation
Was told they already made the rounds and it would be another 30 minutes for their return
What is advertised does not always happen especially if you are a solo diner
I tried it twice, two years in a row
My choice not to attempt it again
Reason I did the SA dining was for the characters
When we went in 2015, there were no handlers with the scareactors. Each moved around the room on their own accord and went table to table. If one of the scareactors overlooked your table for some reason, there were plenty of event staff on hand who ensured they looped back to see you. All you needed to do was let someone know.
