    Some of them give a discount to cast members, or at least they used to, which pretty much made the prices normal.

    Or are you saying that Mimi's is part of the same parent company as HoJo's-and that I have no idea but I have not ever heard that.

    The Mimi's restaurant on Harbor is operated by a different owner, that "rents" the land from HoJo's.

    It will my way of giving back.

    (Now I will never come back to this thread for fear of reading an expose on Disneyland food.)

    My grandma used to work at that Millie's for years! I haven't been back there forever. I should check it out next time.

    I have never eaten at Captain Kidd's. I've always been afraid. Good to know my intuition was correct!
