Just trying to get confirmatinos - will there still be characters there at evening meals?  There will be 3 adults, and 3 children in my party, it's going to cost us a fortune, but just once, I would love to eat at Inventions, however if there's no character interaction I'm not sure I can justify the cost on food........

As far as I'm aware Inventions is still listed as a Character Restaurant for Dinner, so yes there should be characters there for your meal. ;D

Hi, im wondering about lunch? Is it still possible to have lunch there? I really dont mind about the characters not being there, I just wanted that amazing food again!

Can anyone confirm the lunch sittings....what time from-and what time is closing, are there characters there then,, price....and can you use half board plus and pay addidtional costs aswell?? Thanks

Hmmm... I hadn't considered lunch - I priced up evening meal, and would cost me 280 euros, I just can't justify that on one meal when we could go to center parcs for 5 days for 50 less!  We're doing buffalo bill this time already, maybe I could do inventions next time instead, but lunch may be within budget, it's still listed as an option on the dlp website, so I'm hoping!

Lunch should certainly be possible, but as far as I'm aware it's not a Character Dining location for Lunch. :)

It also makes lunch there a lot cheaper.
DLP Guide has lunch listed as €39 per adult and €19.50 per child.
By contrast, Dinner (which is a Character Dining event) is €64 per adult and €32 per child.

Thanks disneyron! We have done evening meal at inventions with characters, but I dont mind not seeing any if we go for lunch. The food was just amazing and I have to go back!! Im guessing then we could use a half board plus and pay the difference...that wuld be like €6 an adult and €4.50 a child (we will be 2 adults n 2 children)  plus the cost of a drink each?? Sounds like a great deal to me, plus the chance to go inside the DLH again!!  ;D

we are heading there the 7th to the 9th of January and we have never eaten in inventions,,,so what is the price for dinner and is brunch only at the weekend.  We are getting the free half board vouchers and we are staying in the sequioa lodge golden forest room so was going to use the voucher to part pay towards bill.. do you think we would have to book early at that time of year as its low season...any advice would help ::) ::) ::) ::)

According to DLP Guide the prices are as follows:

Dinner
Adult (+1 drink) : €59,50
Child (+1 drink) : €29,50

Brunch (Sunday only, from 1pm to 3pm)
Adult : €64
Child : €32

As for making reservations :
This is a character dining experience in both cases, this makes them busier than normal restaurants regardless of the season. So I would make a reservation, regardless of when you're going.

Especially the Brunch on Sunday will be busier than a standard restaurant, as it's only once a week.

You can likely just walk up for Dinner at Inventions and be fine, but making reservations is easy and cheap, and it'll save you a lot of potential hassle.
For Brunch on Sunday... I'd make reservations just to be absolutely sure you can attend, these are themed character events, they're apparently something quite special. And as they're only once a week, they'll most likely be busy.

Just a quick heads up for those of you considering lunch,  we had lunch booked here for our last day id kept the money arose to pay for it, twenty minutes into our meal goofy and pLutof apear, then Donald and rabbit,  Brill I think, characters!  Then I nip to the toilet and notice a little sign at the entrance to inventions, character lunch!  So instead of. Forty euros/ twenty eurosis now fifty five / twenty five,  or lunch cost me an extra sixty!  And for just four characters!

Hey guys I just rang up about the brunch on the 11th January and the operator said the theme will be Russian? What does that mean?

I would assume some characters with origins in that region (or costumes from that region), as well as some tweaking to the menu to include more Russian items I'd imagine.

Whether this is entirely correct I do not know.

Probably a daft question, but on Sundays is it definitely a Character Brunch and then a Character Dinner?
