>>>"How long ago was your experience dlkozy? Was it Goofy's Kitchen?"<<<

It was the French Market and it was at the end of November last year.

Disney knows exactly what they are doing when they charge children adult prices. It's all about the $.

We just ate at Goofy's Kitchen last week and I have to say that the only reason we ate there again was because we went with friends that had never been.
My daughter had turned 10 two days ago so yes, we were forced to pay adult price for her and she barely eats anything.
I really do object to a 10 year old counting as an adult at the character meals and for that reason, we will probably not be doing it again.
The food wasn't bad and we definitely enjoyed it more than Minnie and Friends and the Lilo and Stitch breakfast.
The character interaction was okay but it was not that busy and we have learned to be very assertive about seeing the characters.
I just wished you could count on seeing a specific character as they are always changing so you cannot depend on anyone but Goofy.
We saw Goofy, Chip and Dale, Baloo, Mulan and Wendy from Peter Pan.
I agree that the front is quite unorganized with them getting you to wait, taking your money, getting you to wait, taking your picture, getting you to wait and then escorting you to your table.
You would think they could get a better system going.
Overall, I think Goofy's Kitchen is a great experience if you have never done it but gets less enjoyable and seems more expensive the more times you do it!

Of course it is all about the money. At least in the park we can order kids meals and/or split meals. I know that if it wasn't for our large group, we would never pay that price for our 11 year old. It's why I like Storytellers so much. You can order off the menu OR order the buffet. Much more price effective.

I took my DH there for his 48th birthday dinner in August.

Yes, it was pricey for the 10 of us, but I knew that going in.

We had a blast, had fun with all the characters, and bought all the pictures offered to us.

For a special, fun occasion, I'd go there again...but I wouldn't go there as a habit.

The PB & J pizza was awesome, by the way.

I LOVE to make it on a snowy day when we have gone sledding, or have built a snowman. That, and a big mug of cocoa with mini marshmallows....life is just about perfect.

I'd eat it anytime, but that's when it's the very best.

The grandkids love making their own mini pb & j pizzas.

I just got back from Disneyland & thought I'd give an update on my experience with Goofy's.

Everything went flawlessly. We had 38 people in our group. Several couldn't make it on time or didn't want to pay adult prices for their 10/11 year olds, so we lost a few. Still 38 is a great turn out.

Check in was smooth, paying for everyone was smooth & I did in fact get my PAP discount for everyone in my party. (One family had bought a package which included Goofy's tickets) So I paid for 30 adults & 4 kids & had no issues whatsoever with getting my discount on it. YAY!

The food was very good, much better than I remember & we had LOTS of interaction with the characters. It could be because our group was so large, but we all had a wonderful time.

YAY! We have had great and not so great times at Goofys Kitchen. I love to hear reports of "a good time was had by all." Whew, that it went well after the work you did to set it up and that's very cool that you got the discount for everyone :)
