That's $4.64 more than buying it at the gate! Just wanted to point that out and I think I'll be showing my AAA card when we get there instead!

Dec 7 I wake up to the worst hangover of my life, poor DD is right behind me. We have to pretend we are FINE because it is my DH's and DS's and her DF's and DB's 37 and 14 birthdays. We are just DYING but buck it up and the two boys have no idea....We go to Goofy's for our annual every trip brunch...The idea of food makes me cringe but then I discover Micky shaped Macaroni and cheese....OMG...It was so worth the amount of money we spent on the brunch. I was feeling almost 100% better after the fourth bowl.

Well it wasn't as good, don't you hate it when you brag about a restaurant and when you bring friends it's not good. He said he would try it again when we go in Dec. I think we must have been there on an off night.

I haven't been there in many years so I wasn't sure how crowded it gets. The last time, it was also in September and I just called when I got there, but I wanted to check to see if anything has changed. Thanks!

Originally Posted By LuLu atinkfan, by my figurings, the AAA discount price is slightly less than getawaytoday's. And of course no handling fee ;-)

Originally Posted By joeysmommy I love when you pay and they inform you that you have a 90 minute time limit. What restaurant would tell you that after you pay ahead of time? Goofy's Kitchen..that's who. 80 minutes was plenty of time for me! We had fun, but my 2 yr old had enough.

Originally Posted By joeysmommy Man, I must have been in a bad mood the day I posted that negative message about the 90 minute time limit. I loved it and my kids loved it! We have some great photos with the characters to cherish. I'm not knocking Goofy's Kitchen, just the time limit. : )
Originally Posted By mousecateer77 I guess breakfast at Goofy's is more for the atmosphere because if I remember right (5 yrs ago), the food wasn't that good. But my kids (9 and 6 then) had a blast.
