Originally Posted By ssturgeo We did it in May, we do it whenever we go (but, that is only twice a year) and our food has always been good, great character interaction, etc. We also did Lilo and Stitch in May, and really enjoyed it too, so will do both again in November.
Originally Posted By iamsally We love Minnie and Friends. We have done it several times and I must say, the quality of the food has varied.

If not, I would complain as there is no excuse for bad food at over $20 a head.

Originally Posted By grammy954 We did it a few months ago for the first time. The food wasn't very good, and we only met 3 characters. They were letting kids from other tables just walk up and interrupt the characters, rather than making them wait at their table for the characters to come around. I was not impressed - definately back to Goofy's kitchen for the next one...

If anyone else is having less than satisfactory experiences please post. I would hate to change plans but I might. We have always had lots of character interaction there. (The exception being when we took BABIES!!!!! If you want the characters to notice you, do NOT go with babies.) Though the CM's when you enter ask the parents to stay at their table and wait for the characters we always encounter those who let there kids run around. I have some adorable footage of Chip and Minnie playing with my granddaughter but there is a little girl on the side pounding on Chip to get his attention.

There are always a great variety of characters, lots of interaction (doing the Tiki Room Macarena with Goofy, Snow White, mad hatter, Baloo, Donald, Chip & Dale etc., and having Terk, Jane and Goofy hand out pots and pans for the kids to all bang along to "Trashin' the Camp"). We've never had any problems wiht the food, with a huge variety of breakfast, dinner and "kid only" options, and most importantly it's the one meal that our kids would not give up

Originally Posted By Ursula I've done Goofy's and loved it. I just went to Minnie's this past Saturday. I liked it. I like the food better at Goofy's, but I'm not complaining as ilvdland and I asked for superduperextra bacon and got it. The eggs were a little cold for my tastes, but of course you can always just go back and ask for hot ones, I supposed. I LOVE the tiny Mickey waffles at both places. I also love the self-service orange juice at Minnie's. As to characters, well, we were two grown ladies. The characters did stop by and interacted with us. We had a cute scene with Peter Pan and Captain Hook right next to our table and Minnie delightfully posed with us for pictures. Rafiki came by, as did the Fairy Godmother, who thought it was lovely we two girls were out having fun. It was also the end of the character breakfast so go in the middle to make sure you get the best availability of the characters.

Fairy Godmother insisted on getting me a straw for my chocolate milk and teased us for biting off Mickey's ears; Tigger bounced my balloon off his nose. It was great. I have heard enough of the positive to go ahead with our plans for December.

Originally Posted By stitch4336 We tried this breakfast for the first time in August. We had an early reservation - and it was great. Since we were in there early, we got a lot of character time. There are some different characters there that you don't see elsewhere - Alice and the Mad Hatter and the Fairy Godmother. The food was OK, not as good as Gooofy's kitchen (our favorite) but a good breakfast all the same.
