Tusker House? Characters at lunch? How many dining credits?

[Cin]

I have reservations for Tusker House for lunch Jan 2012, I know they are changing to a character meal format, but will they do this at lunch as well? Right now on the Disney website it is listing it as 1 dining credit and doesn't mention characters at the noon meal. Does anyone know what I will encounter late Jan 2012? Our reservation is for 1215. Mom does not want any character dining if that is the case I will cancel it and we will dine elsewhere. I appreciate any information on this. Thanks!

I am quite positive that it will be a character meal, for 1 credit.

Have Mom look at the Yak & Yeti (TS) menu and see if she'd prefer that - it is also in the AK and is 1 TS. Otherwise, yes, you are having lunch with Donald Duck.
