The breakfast food was horrible, would not recommend unless you absolutely positively love the characters you are dining with. The food is abysmal.

Made reservation with high chair- the app specifically asked since we had a infant on our reservation. Once we were getting seated they said they did away with high chairs earlier this year (early 2025) so my 1.5 year old had nowhere to sit and stood the entire meal in a booth. Worst character meal we did by far. If you have children that need a booster or high chair pass on this. We will not be back.
Character interactions also felt VERY rushed ( especially with Mickey) . This last trip we also did crystal place with Pooh, cinderellas royal castle, Ohana and chef Mickey every other character meal took more time with each guest.
In order would rate character experiences Crystal Palace, Cinderella’s Royal Table, O’hana, Chef Mickey and last Garden Grille.

I liked this place more than I thought. I have a Gluten allergy so I was happy that I could eat all the food on menu but Mac and cheese! They have gluten free dessert. Mickey and other characters are there walking to each table. It’s eat as much as you like style, I would go back again.

This is a "character dining" restaurant. I love all the good food here, and kids love to see the living with the land ride. My favorite dish is the mac-n-cheese. The cast members here are kind and the characters are good at embodying their characters.

Great spot to meet mickey, Pluto, chip and Dale. Breakfast is served family style with eggs, bacon, cheesy potatoes, mickey waffles and steak. As appetizer they serve watermelon and cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were amazing! For the main breakfast mickey waffles are amazing as always and the steak with some type of peppers and onion sauce had a really good flavor.
