Our family had dinner here with Minnie and friends. The characters came around in a reasonable time that you were able to get dinner and eat, but not have to hang around and wait on characters. Although it was a huge buffet, the food was pretty good. There was a carving station with beef and turkey. The salad could have used some freshening up. The kids loved the variety of desserts. We were on the dining plan, but if paying cash the costs seem very expensive for the meal. I guess you are paying for the character interaction?

Pros:

variety of food, character interaction

Cons:

none

We had a great experience here in December. We did have to wait awhile to be seated, but that was fine. We were seated in a corner by the window, and this was truly fantastic because it felt secluded and less chaotic. The characters in their Christmas outfits were so fun. We had amazing interactions with Daisy and Donald especially. I don’t eat buffets very much, so I was worried about the food, but it was incredible!! I am a pescetarian, and I really appreciated all the delicious salad and veggie choices. I thought the salmon was absolutely delicious, better than I had at CRT a couple days later! We really had a great time here with the characters and the food.

Pros:

Special holiday outfits for characters and great interaction, delicious buffet food

Cons:

If you don’t have a corner seat, it may be loud and chaotic

Food on the buffet had been sitting for quite a while, many of the pans had that 'skin' that gets formed when food sits out. Character interaction was fair, we did feel a bit rushed to get our pictures taken so they could move on.

Pros:

Characters

Cons:

poor buffet quality food

It's cool the see the characters in seasonal outfits. Similar to the Disney Junior, that's what you are here for. The buffet has a large selection but the food isn't that great. If you care about seeing some main Disney Characters in X-Mas outfits than this is worth it.

Pros:

Meet and greet with main Disney Characters in X-Mas outfits, larger of the buffet selections

Cons:

Tight seating, good is OK but not amazing

Started off being taken back for reservation 45 mins late after being told we were on the no show list- stood right on the steps and name was never called. Food is extremely subpar and desserts were horrible. Best thing was interactions with the characters and waiter.

Pros:

Characters

Cons:

Food- over $50 for Golden Coral fare.

My family of 4 had dinner here last week. The food was very good and a nice selection as well. The characters: Minnie, Mickey, Daisey and Donald Duck came round to take pictures and their Christmas outfits were really nice. But there seemed to be no pattern to how they toured the dining areas. It was a long time to wait for them all to come around. It was our last thing planned for the day so we didn't mind waiting as it gave us a chance to relax. At the front of the restaurant Santa Goofy posed with a photopass photographer to take pictures as well. We opted to get ours pics with Goofy till the end. There was a good selection and everyone was able to find enough to eat to fill them up, a tall order with 2 teen boys and hungry DH. I loved the meatballs, green beans, salmon and the desserts are the mini ones all very good!

Pros:

Great way to celebrate holidays, the characters were wonderful and really interacted with us, good food and great desserts!

Cons:

Expensive, chaotic and spent alot of time waiting for characters to make it us.

We ate here for dinner and it was truly awful! The food was horrible. They didn't play Christmas music. The characters have no handlers to take pictures. Four years ago they served tasty adorable Christmas desserts. Now the desserts are not even worth eating. I'll never return

Pros:

The bread was good. The parmesan cheese was good.

Cons:

The food is horrible.

Everyone who is complaining about this place is doing it wrong lol! Pro-Tip: Grab a dinner reservation between 730-8pm (these are the latest you are allowed to get) at the end of the night if any food runs out they have to make it fresh AND the characters spend so much time with you that you almost need to ask them to go away so you can eat LOL! My family has booked it twice in the late window and had this great experience both times in the last 2 years!

Pros:

Great character experience and lots of time with characters

Cons:

not as big of a selection on the buffet
