Originally Posted By bloona No, we have had lunch there a couple of times, it was about $8 cheaper and hardly any difference in the food served.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 Am thrilled the characters are leaving LTT -- I absolutely believe characters meals have a place- and I have no issue with a restaurant like Chef Mickey's having each meal be character - nothing special there, and it seems built for character interaction. But LTT - leave it as a charming throwback to colonial times ( sans foamheads) - the xtra money for characters is a hit not everyone wants to take. For those who do - offer certain places for that experience. of course- just my opinion

William Penn Pasta w/ Chicken and the COlony Salad are staples in my house thanks to allears

Originally Posted By vbdad55 fair enough - I can't comment on dinner there for a good 6+ years at least. The reason we stopped is we were character mealed out ( we always do 1 -2 each trip and that is enough)
Originally Posted By bloona I hear that it hasnt been revolving for the past few weeeks either.Any news on that? I think I will e mail Disney about it, because its the characters that clinch it for us.
Originally Posted By u k fan We had Christmas Day dinner at the LTT in '99 and had a fantastic time. We've never been back since and I'm kinda pleased about that as it keeps it that little bit more special. I hope it isn't going downhill!!!
