Universal cinematic spectacular dining experience and character breakfast

[RadioFanatic]

Has anyone done this universal cinematic spectacular dining experience yet? Is it worth it? Do we get anything off if the menu? Where do we get to sit to watch the show? Does it have a good view? And how are the desserts during the event?

Also, do any of the character breakfast the marvel superheroes at it? thanks for the info!

Personally I don't think it's worth it.

Food at Lombards is decent, but the viewing area offered is no better than around the lagoon.

The cinematic show can be seen really well from most areas.

Here is the link with the info on it.......menu that is offered is there to click on.

We did the dining experience 2 years ago and enjoyed it very much. We got anything we wanted on the menu at Lombard's (appetizer, entree, non-alcoholic drink) and then there was a dessert buffet before and during the show. The buffet is on the 'balcony' outside of Lombard's, and there are tables and chairs for the guests. At the time, it wasn't *that* much more than buying the food separately, and we appreciated the reserved spot (and a place to sit) to watch the show. The main stumbling block for me was the show itself, which was just okay. So I'm not planning to do it again on our upcoming trip because of that.

Okay, I just went to check out the menu. If I pick a middle of the road appetizer and entree, and add drink, that would cost about $26 out of pocket. Adding in tax and tip (taxes and gratuity are included in the package) this brings it to about $33. Which implies that you are then paying $12 per person for the dessert buffet and reserved seating. The desserts are pretty nice (or at least, they were 2 years ago when we did this) so it's not unreasonable.

I'm hoping my husband and I can do this when we go in October. Due to HHN, I know it won't be possible on the Fri, Sat & Sun we're there, but we'll also be there on Monday 10/17 (our last night) so I'm hoping they will have the show that night. We'll definitely due the Lombard's package because we'll want to have dinner there anyway. Keeping my fingers crossed

Oh shoot, I don't remember exactly... I want to say an hour beforehand? You can probably go in right after you finish dinner.
