Ha ha - To be honest, there’s not much value left in Disney. Nothing against the characters, just paying $60 + tax + tip for a self service buffet is far too much for my wallet. Didn’t they knock off $20 per per adult when the characters stayed away?

I recently went to Cinderella’s Royal Table for dinner, it used to be extortionate but I thought the price without characters was reasonable. I wanted to eat in the castle and I don’t like talking characters so it worked for me. I also thought ‘Ohana was a good value breakfast without characters, which I believe didn’t go round the tables anyway.
But elsewhere, I quite enjoy having the odd character meal and know that I am paying for the experience not just the food.

The characters did go round the tables in ‘Ohana previously. We met Stitch, Lilo, Mickey and Pluto.

Oh really, I stand corrected. I thought you lined up to meet them before you sat down for some reason.

I miss Crystal Palace breakfast, aside from the characters this used to be one of the best breakfasts in MK

I think over the years they varied it with Stitch - sometimes you met him before going in, sometimes he came around. But the others always came around. And there was a little ‘procession’ for kids at some point too, walking round the restaurant with coconut shells and so on. It wasn’t a quiet experience!

Fingers crossed for the characters to come back for CP & Ohana.

We look at it as a great way to meet and interact with characters without queuing or paying for Genie plus. We also get fed and a rest in a/c. We are doing Chef Mickeys on our 2nd day. We have 4 children in our group,
In 2003 we were the last family still in the restaurant at closing, there were 9 of us, we were asked if we wanted photos with all the characters together. Some of our favourite photos. |
