Title: Cafe Mickey or Inventions?
Post by: habssac on November 27, 2013, 06:16:46 PM
I want to book character dining for me and hubby one evening so  I wondered if anyone had any suggestions about whether one would be better than another? We are both mid-twenties and don't have children so is one going to be preferable? I appreciate there will be children at both but I would hate to feel like I was stealing a character away from a child! So I suppose I'm asking which has the better interaction opportunities, and more of them?
Also which one has better food?
We have standard half-board vouchers so am I right in assuming I can offset these against the cost in either restaurant and just pay the extra?
Sorry for all the questions!

I've never been, but from my readings of reviews i would suggest inventions. You can use the vouchers for their face value but keep in mind that inventions is more expensive than cafe mickey. If on a budget, i would say go to cafe mickey! In either one im sure you'll have fun!:)

Inventions is a buffet, more expensive, quiter, but still great character interaction.
Cafe Mickey is table service, cheaper, louder, but mostly great character interaction.

So, I guess it depends on what works for you better. Don`t worry abot the characters stealing away. They do their rounds at the tables, so come to evereyone!
Have great trip!!

The characters spend their time at each table regardless of if there's children or not.  When we did Café Mickey I felt it was a bit more rushed and the food wasn't great.  Whereas I have loved Inventions and not felt hurried.  But of course there is a pretty big price difference. 
Café Mickey does have a bit more of a fun element when the music comes on and they all start dancing etc, but that's only happened on one of my visits.

I agree, if money isn't an issue, I would suggest inventions, there's less children, it's quieter, and the food is great.  :)
