Our grandson loves Mickey and friends , so we decided to have at least one character dining during our holiday . He loved the whole experience , he saw four of the characters and had a lot of interaction with them all and thoroughly enjoyed the evening . The food isn’t being served as a buffet until later in the year , but there was enough choice for all 5 of us to find something we liked . This was one of the best meals of our holiday and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again when we return next year on our annual vacation
We made reservations for the character dinner here with my daughter, son in law and two grandchildren. We have enjoyed visits to WDW since the mid 1980’s and this visit being a second visit with the grandchildren. Disney as a company has fallen on hard times, unfortunately focusing on things other that what they should be. As a stockholder I dont support this misdirection, but support the vast number of Disney staff (Cast) who make the parks special for the visits of young people. I mention all of this as I believe Hollywood and Vine is one of the negatives of the current park. The restaurant is no more than a cheap diner. Food was good, not great, but clearly the entire dinner (even with the character visits) was a rip off for the price. The price for four adults and the two children approaches $500 which is clearly and purely a money maker out of reach for many other visitors (not to mention the skyrocketing ticket costs). Save your money at WDW and skip this dinner, and Disney, focus on the enjoyment for the kids, as Walt would have wanted.
this place was great years ago- buffet, lots of characters. We went last week- No buffet- not great offerings for meals selections (at breakfast)- Family of 4 our bill was $146.00 for 2 plates of pancakes and 2 plates of eggs?! Unreal. An actual crime to charge that. And only 2 character visits. DON'T GO.
The food os cheap, not tasty, this is way overpriced and it does not worth it. I don’t recommend it. Server was ok. Character interactions were great, that’s it. Now I undertook why the shares are going down. Too focus on getting money. Het Chapek out. I used to love this restaurant, now it’s a no!no! Sorry Disney, you droped this ball
Went here for a character meal with our kids. It’s a typical Disney affair where the food is pretty poor but is simply churned out like a conveyor belt. I ordered the pork loin - “I hope you can handle spicy food” the server said… I’ve had chicken kormas with more heat (and less fat, at that). I ordered a beer to go with my meal, that never came. It was only mentioned as I was paying “oh sorry I forgot your drink, do you want it now?” - No, no I don’t want a beer as I’m leaving. The characters were good, really interactive and were great for photos and all that - my boys were made up with it.
We took the grandkids here for a character brunch. Very good service and excellent food. Characters were attentive to the kids.
The staff we had were wonderful. So friendly and knowledgeable. All of the characters came around and spent 1-on-1 time with our family signing autographs and taking pictures. There were lots of food choices and we all left stuffed. My favorite was the hazelnut French toast. This is one of our favorites every time we visit, especially with little kids!
Great character dining option! All the kids loved it from ages 3 to 13. Breakfast was amazing. Not rushed at all and got great time with all characters.
This Character Dining Experience was a great experience. The Cast Members did a great job coordinating interactions and making it a truly personal experience. My kids where incredibly happy and it was a very positive experience. The food was good and the service was also excellent. I highly recommend for nice late-day meal service and seeing Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy. At the end of dinner the Character Coordinator (not sure if that's a title) came to the table to confirm that our children had memorable experiences with each character. I thought that was impressive.
We went for dinner the first day we were in Disney. There was a good variety of food ranging from Mac N Cheese to Steak. Our family loved the Meet and Greet with Goofy, Minnie and of course Mickey!
