Does anyone have any pics?

Originally Posted By charming husband Oh, I'm sorry. I read that as Minnie and Friends and glad that I don't have your Denny's and IHOP! :0)

Just mentioning this as you said you have ressies there. I hope you like it as much as we did. I'd also be interested to know which characters are present at the Minnie and Friends breakfast
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Yeah, I'm glad my Dennys (where I won't eat) and IHOP don't charge Disney character dining prices, lol. I second (and my sister would 3rd) the Lilo and Stitch breakfast recommendation. Good food and character interaction. If you go on a weekday you are more likely to get lots of time with Lilo, Stitch and Goofy.
Originally Posted By Jenn31 We've always wanted to do the lilo and stitch breakfast so I'm really looking forward to it. The restaurant looks really nice. I think we've got all of the character meals covered this trip except the princess meal at dca. I don't feel that one's a good value anymore, so I don't think we'll be back. As far as the prices go, I look at it like this, we maybe eat out once a month at home, we don't do weekend getaways, we pretty much stay at home and eat at home. So when I'm on vacation Eating out is important to me. It's part of the trip and it's something I really look forward to. Does anyone happen to know if they have the PB&J pizza at Lilo and stitch?
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I don't remember the pizza either but there was a small "kids" bar with Mickey nuggets, etc. so it may have been there. I had THE best omelet made by the NICEST chef, who was suggesting additions that weren't on the list. It's a smaller, more intimate setting and offerings than Goofys but just right. Jenn, we LOVE to eat at DLR too I mean where/when else do we have ice cream for lunch or dine "at night" during the day

Originally Posted By Jenn31 After hearing such good tings about breakfast with minnie and friends,I went ahead and got ressies for our last morning first thing when the park opens! I'm really excited as this is one I've never done before. Well, actually It was the early 80's and I was just a kid so I don't remember that much. I vaguley recall it being more of a buffeteria than a buffet. You picked out what you wanted, put it on your tray and paid at the end. I remember eating cottage cheese with pinaple slices as a kid.

Our trip in Jan was the first time for the Plaza Inn and we loved that one as well. But we also managed to eat at the Carnation Cafe.
