If you want another Character meal have you considered the Liberty Tree tavern in the MK? It is a "thanksgiving" inspired family style meal with the classic characters. It has always been one of my favorite meals. Maybe you could try that?

Can you keep trying for Ohanas? I know it is a pain to call every day...especially now so close to the trip and around the holidays.

Actually, Liberty Tree Tavern is stopping their character meal. I believe the last day is January 5 or something like that--but I could be wrong on the exact date.

Sorry about the frustration with reservations. Keep trying to get the times you want. I even keep calling while I am there and often the times I want open up.

When my kids were young they liked Chef Mickey (breakfast and lunch), 1900 Park fare, and Rainforest Cafe (still do). You might also look into the new T Rex at DD. :mickey:

:/bawl! I am so sad to hear that. Why, do you know? I think it was so popular...or at least is was when I was there.

As far as Ohana's, I always get as early as a seating time as I am able. Maybe it is just my luck, but they always seem to be running 30-45 minutes late.

we went to fantasmic on 12/7. walked in about 10-15 mins beofre it began and got great seast with no dinner package. Better than the seast we got last trip WITH the dinner package. People were filling in at the sides, we asked an usher if there was any seating in a row closer to the middle that looked full. he walked us down to about the 8th row and there was plenty of seating in the middle that you waould have never seen if you did not walk owon.

I find that the dining plan for Fantasmic is not worth it. We have gotten to the show about twenty minutes before it starts and got great seats. We opted to dine elsewhere, and then go to the show. Enjoy the sunshine when you go.
