This is a good plan. I stressed for a while over whether my 2:55 ADR next week was lunch or dinner.

I don't care one way or the other really. I would go back for the food either way.

Hasn't it already Ben a character dinner? I ate with Donald & Mickey in there two years ago.

Not for dinner tho characters were only there for breakfast and lunch now it's also going to have characters at dinner.

I think it's a good idea as long as the food continues to be as good as it is now. Especially if it's going to be a character dinner. Not a fan of character dinners due to most of them not being that great. We love Tusker House for breakfast and was surprised how good it was for lunch. If it happens, we'll try it.

Any update on a potential dinner menu?

 

[jsebsirois]

I don't think they will change the menu, maybe add a few extra items on the buffet, but the food being so popular there, I don't think they'll have an entire menu makeover.

With that being said, even if the food is great (we had breakfast there once and loved it), the character experience was not that great for us...

This is not great news to me. We have an ADR there for June and was looking forward to it NOT being a character meal. Does this mean the price will increase too?

I would wait to see in March. And you can always change your reservation ahead of time.

Nice to have another character dining option. Great food at Tusker House!

I'm with you. I was purposely looking at this place because it was not a character meal but we'll scratch it off the list now. I realize that most people will love it though.

1) Yep, characters 3/8/2015.
2) As well as a price increase for dinner (see the Restaurant Sticky post).
3) But, the main food differences from lunch are an additional salmon dish and spices on the beef roast.

I just saw this on the Tusker ADR page and thought I'd give it a bump

Did they say if it will be 1 meal credit or two on the dining plan?

Wasn't it two before I would assume it would stay the same.

1) At this time, it is still planned as a one-credit DDP meal for the character dinner.
2) Just like CP. Akershus, Chef Mickey.
