Definitely the most awkward character interaction I’ve ever had. Being lectured about hard work from a street rat who only became a prince bc of wishes granted from a Genie… hard pass. Mirabel and Tiana were great though.
Eta: I think 1900 has the worst food of all the character meals I’ve done too. For dinner I mostly ate pizza from the kids menu.
I love it for the uniqueness of the characters there. I hate it because it takes a loooooooong time as compared to most of the others
I think this one is the most expensive of the breakfast character meal options. That’s the turnoff for me. Ironically for you I wonder if most don’t like that it is not AYCTE given its price point
Ok so I had said since its reimagined reopening that I wouldn’t bother going there personally. The characters are just a hodgepodge that doesn’t make sense to me.
I stand by that, however a recent vlog I saw from Mammoth Club has had me warming to the idea of going. The character interaction definitely does seem absolute top notch, and I give extra marks to them as all face characters which IMO are more challenging. They rated the food super high too. So after seeing that it’s one for me to consider
But I still don’t get the selection of characters.
I wonder if you could just specify to your server that you would rather the characters not stop to visit with you
I’m not alone!
And
I’m not the only one up at this stupid hour
it is really expensive, but I did have a wonderful breakfast steak. I would not be happy with a kid eating one waffle at that price.
Well it’s only 11pm here. 
I love character meals. They’re so fun! My favorite is the Plaza breakfast at DL. We had the best interactions there. I was wearing Cinderella ears so Cinderella’s Mouse sewed me a dress and Tiger asked me to dance. It’s also where I met Josh Gad! He gets coffee from the Plaza if he’s in the park. He was so nice!
Look at these little babies 
I would also like to point out that he was the one who asked us what our wish was? That’s like asking, “what do you want for dinner?” And then saying, “well then go make it yourself!”
The Plaza is so playful!!!
Yes! That was 100% the energy we got. I wish I remembered what our wishes were.
You probably wished for material wealth and he told you you’d have to work for it. 
Agreed. Those of us that are frequent guests, verses a once in a lifetime guest with preschool or elementary school age children are probably going to have very different answers.
I think it depends on the kids.
My young adult daughters love character meals. I did Topolino’s with them both summer 2024. And on each of their separate trips to DLR we did Storytellers.
Also
I do think we get more of our money’s worth with adult appetites.
Probably so, but it would be such a waste to spend the money to eat at a “character experience” when we don’t care about the characters.
Well, that’s unfortunate. Kind of a risk to spend the big bucks for a signature dining experience which is kind of all about the view, but ending up without said view. Considering the food options for dinner are limited in terms of what we would like, it now seems like a risky endeavor. (To be fair, this is true of most signature dining, but as long as there is at least one menu item, it is okay. Flying Fish was like this for us.) But at least I now know it is a possibility for some future trip.
If I am not mistaken, when Topolono’s first opened, it was not a buffet, but you could order a second entree if you wanted without paying extra. (Did I read this in someone’s trip report?) I thought that was a value, because we like to try different things. We are not big breakfast eaters, but I liked the idea of being able to sample multiple dishes. Pricey, but maybe worth it.
By the time we got around to booking the character breakfast, they had eliminated the multiple entree option. Now it is one price for one entree. I feel like it’s a lot to pay for breakfast.
I’m pretty sure it was for world peace! 
Or dark chocolate.
Although, I’m pretty sure the two things are synonymous.
I wonder if Storybook- particularly the Queen M&G- is just one of those that’s far and above better with older children/adults.
My opinions on character dining experiences are largely tinted by how I perceive my children- 7 and younger- enjoying them.
I think it’s difficult for all but the best actors to appeal to both the youngest of the young, the oldest of the old, and everyone in between, especially when they’re all in a group together and are probably looking for different things out of the interaction
