“Excellent character lunch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

We enjoyed our lunch here. The food was good for a buffet, the character interaction was great, and service was good. We were tucked away in a corner of the restaurant, so it was even on the quiet side (rare for a character meal!).

“Character Dining is the way to go!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013 via mobile

We were on the meal plan and this restaurant only used one of our dining points! So we were highly impressed by the value. Our gauge of value may have been different if we paid full price for the meal. The characters were amazing, it didn't feel rushed at all and they were very personable. Our waiter was very attentive and we were able to change beverages throughout the dining experience. As far as the food went it was quite good, would recommend the potato gems and the Mickey Mouse waffles for breakfast!

“I have had a bad Disney experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Well! I have finally found a restaurant in Disney that had sub par service!! We waited over 30 min. just to have our drink orders taken!!! In that time we saw all the characters and still waited for a server!! The food is good and the characters are all adorable but it won't make up for this cranky hungry park thirsty customers that will not be back!!

“Good food, including kids' choices”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

I was pleasantly surprised by the number of kids' choices on the dinner buffet. My husband and I were also pleased with the choices offered on the buffet and appreciated the different experience from most of the other restaurants. The tables were too close together and it was very loud in the dining area, but that was ok by our toddler.

“Good food and good time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

Late review. We went in Dec 2011. We have been here before and liked it enough to come back. The service was great. My son has alot of food allergies and the chef came out to our table and took him and I to the buffett and went over the things he can and cant have. The food is great and fun to try the different foods.
