Does anyone know how much the character lunch is at Inventions? Not the Sunday brunch but the normal one for other days? We didn't go to Inventions on our first trip and I'd like to try it this time, just not sure whether to do lunch or dinner!
Thanks
It used to be €36 but I understand it is now more like €50.
I may be wrong, but I thought that lunch at Inventions was without characters? I thought it was only dinner that had characters? Yes - I've just checked. Lunch has NO characters.:(
When did that change? Although not listed on the link at the top of this page, for the lst few months, both lunch and dinner at inventions have had characters and been around the 55-60 euro mark.
I'm sure I read on other posts that characters were recently introduced at lunch too, can't remember which thread though! Maybe someone who has been recently can advise us.
We've been to inventions twice and ate at 2pm recently :)
Once in December it was a weekday and again in feb on a Tuesday so yeah I think they are there all the time now. But of course it could change!? Always call and check if your worried but they were there on our last 2 trips I even made my nan (who made reservation) call and confirm the first time as, as far as I was aware it used to be just evening.
Lunchtimes in my opinion are far better, quieter and some great character interactions. Goofy last time was helping me choose from the buffet ;D he said he didn't like veggies and waved his hand over his face as if they stunk!

Thanks, do you remember how much it was for each guest?
Dinner is approx. 63 euros with characters
lunch is cheaper approx. 50 euros without characters
BUT sometimes like last summer inventions had characters at lunch and dinner which then lunch is chargeable at dinner rates
you can check with city hall, inventions, dining reservations or even the hotel concierge if there will be characters at lunch during your stay
I just booked for lunch on 13th April and confirmed it is a character lunch. So they are definitely still happening!
Oooh, it says on the DLP website that there's no characters at lunch - and there were none when we were there at lunch a few years ago. But I'm delighted to hear that's changed - I might book lunch there, too. :)
I was here nearly 2 weeks ago, on a wednesday at 1.30pm and there were characters there :)
Thank you, I phoned to enquire today and was told there wouldn't be characters at lunch. Might check again nearer to going before I book meals.

That's very odd? I was hoping for character lunch for our may trip. We've preffered lunch to dinner on last 2 trips and we're characters both times!
Maybe they have characters for lunch and dinner at busier times? I don't know.
I am hoping they are at lunch when I go, too early to try and book yet but lunch seems like a better option. My daughter is not keen on meeting the princesses (apart from Elsa and Anna) but would love to meet Mickey and Minnie. Not that she has a clue that any of this is planned as the whole journey is going to be a surprise!!
Just to jump in, how late do the characters stay to at dinner? our reservation is at 9:15pm after park close, i'd hate to get there and the characters finish at about 9pm!
We have lunch booked for the 13th of March as its my sons 6th birthday. When I booked I was told there would be characters at lunch to bring out his cake. I was going to book Cafe Mickey but decided on Invention based on that. We go in 3 days and I will make sure when I get there but if theres not Ill be very upset :-(
According to the Disneyland Paris page, under dining/Inventions, it says:
"In addition to the Character Lunch and evening experience, brunch is served with Disney Characters every Sunday, from 12:30 PM to 03:00 PM, for an additional charge."

Beyond this, I'm having trouble finding anything concrete aside from what people have said on here already.Tripadvisor seems to have a general consensus that characters are present for both lunch and dinner though times and whom aren't really listed.

Ye when I rang to book it. I had read mixed comments about them being there. Before I booked anything I asked the lady on the phone if Inventions would have characters for lunch because if they didn't I was happy enough to book Cafe Mickey. The very nice lady reassured me that lunch in Inventions was definatly with Characters and I was delighted and asked for his cake to be delivered there. We are going to BBWWS for dinner so can't have his cake there. We are doing Cafe Mickey for dinner the day before and I though Inventions lunch would be special for his birthday with the characters and a cake. After spending the last 6 weeks thinking this is what we are doing Ill be very upset if i was givin the wrong information and we have to change our plans, But I'm glad I read it here before I went because if we had turned up for lunch and it was no characters it would have been horrible. Now I can check when we get there and if not change the plans before the day.

As has been said, Inventions never used to have characters present for lunch. I know when we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel in early 2000 something, they were only present for breakfast and dinner. The current menu (found here: http://www.dlpguide.com/planning/dining/restaurant-menus/inventions/) states that there are no character apperances with lunch. However, when you consider that the menu was last updated 1st July 2014, there is a good chance that the information you have been given is correct.
littlebitofpixiedust and michellemumof2xx have confirmed that there were characters present for lunch having been there in person. I would take that as a good sign and check, as you say, when you get there just to be sure.
Hopefully it all works out for you and it is a very happy 6th birthday :)
I phoned DLP last week and was told Characters are at Lunch..So looking forward to my visit this year.
Has anyone been to inventions on Halloween. We are looking at booking it for my daughters birthday on Halloween and I was wondering if it's just the normal character or if they are dressed for Halloween. All this preparation is driving me a bit insane as I'm hearing so many different things about everything. Wouldn't mind but we have been twice before in 2012 and 2013 but we want this to be special as it's all about my daughters birthday.

They are not dressed in Halloween costumes for lunch.
But they are for the brunch.
On actual Halloween there's an extra brunch, Halloween themed.
Also if it's not on a Sunday.
