hi we have been to both and they were both great lots of caracters i think it depends on the food you want the lucky nugget is buffet and the cafe mickey is tabel service the food was nice in both and they both cost around the same i think the lucky nugget only does lunch but i might be wrong so check this, when we were in the lucky nugget they had a band playing mucic and in cafe mickey the staff and the carracters all get eveyone up and dance, there were more carracters in lucky nuggett but i also think there were more people/tables  i am sure whatever you choose you will love it   :D
if you need more info just ask  :)

It would have to be Cafe Mickey or Inventions in the Disneyland Hotel.

Lucky Nugget doesn't do character meals at this time of the day apart from in the summer. They just do lunch from 12noon to 3pm.


I'd say both are good - Inventions is very expensive however the atmosphere is very special, you'll only get about 6 characters here though. More characters will be present at Cafe Mickey (about 8 to 10 at a time - often including Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Hook, Stitch, Prince John, Eeyore, Tigger, Pinnochio, Sheriff of Nottingham, Robbin Hood and Friar Tuck - and more) but here it is a lot more noisy, filled with screaming kids and not as "classy" as Inventions though much cheaper.

Greetings from in-side the magic....

Charactor meals are fun for all the children of young and old.the price are from 18 euro per person upwards..

Lucky Nugget : Its a buffet style meal where you help yourself and the food is very good and lots of choice. the cast members are very happy.
Charactors are there and come out every 30mins and then change so you get to meet and greet them. also at the weekend there is music on stage with a live dixee band very cosy place to eat..

Plazza Gardens : also a buffet style meal and charactors are there to and same as above ..can get busy from time to time also if its a birthday there is happy birthday music a birthday card and a gift also a cake which is yummy chocolate and the charactors come to each table for birthdays.

Cafe Mickey : hmm!! very open plan rest loads kids making lots screeming ect ect.. charactors are there to between 8 and 10 its on two levels so half and half for charactors thay change every time so you get to see them all. as for the food price can amount up start from 18 euro  and is open until 11pm.. its ok

For me its much better to eat in the magic kingdom it gives you the extra magic.. sparkle and touch...

Please remember to check for booking the rest first , you can do this at your hotel front desk or at guest services city hall in magic kingdom..

if you want more just ask and enjoy yourself..

Greetings from in-side the magic....

You can ring the rest for a booking as turn up to book to...best of all if your staying at a disney hotel the guest sevice is good and no trouble at all.. I still like to eat in the magic kingdom..

also there is the rain forest cafe oppersite cafe mickey book again but has a jungle theme there is a tropical storm and moving animals as you eat i would say the food is better there then cafe mickey and you get a lot for your money.. Enjoy

Gretings from in-side the magic...

disney resevation is for booking your hoilday and ordering extras like charactor breakfasts and stuff..when you arrive at disney as soon as your at the hotel get them to ring the rest for booking or better still when in the magic kingdom go to city hall on main street and thay will look after you and arrange a booking for you its free service and gives that little extra magic touch ...

:stitch: When my husband and i went last christmas we prebooked all our meals in the park and hotels and also Buffalo Bills and Cafe Mickey from the UK. The other resturants in the village we had to book when we arrived at our hotel.
We have a direct number which is +33 106304050. :D

A quick edit, my husband is fairly certain that the number he called to make the reservations was the normal 08705 030303 one but you can still make the reservations using the direct number in France listed above.

My two penneth-
Just be aware, we found out in August when staying at the Holiday inn that if staying there, or any Hotels along that row-the price of the meal works out a little more expensive-just in case you are running on a budget.

Hey,
        I ate at Cafe Mickey one evening at about 9pm I think it was and in the 2 hours we were there, we had Goofy, Minnie, Pluto, Genie from Aladdin, Friar Tuck, Tigger and Eeyore. Oh, and the food was really great.

Yes you do have to pay more staying off site but since we get the 10% discount with our Dream passes on all the restaurants it off sets the extra cost.
There were no characters at Plaza gardens when we went a few months back. They must have changed it right before we ate there to no characters.
Lucky Nugget's food is fresh and a great selection but we only had 5 of the 8 characters come to our table. So dissappointing... Won't keep us away though. Maybe we'll be luckier next time. We did have 7 characters at our table during breakfast for our daughter's B-day at cafe Mickey's though. We felt that was pretty lucky. Don't know that we would try Cafe Mickey's for dinner though with it being a fixed menu. Buffets really work for us for the picky eaters.
