Hmmm. It's kinda cool but honestly, I don't know how I feel about Mickey talking.

The blinking/mouth moving ones are at WDW, but this is for meet & greets and talks with the guests.

I didn't initially click the link, having also assumed it was the WdW Castle show. Glad I finally watched. That's AMAZING. I mean, Theo may never have to wonder why the heck the Mickey at Disneyland is mute! How awesome is that!

Curmudgeon time.

It may be cool but I like them mute. The only thing that appeals to me less than interacting with characters is talking to them.

Though it would have made things easier at Disneyland Paris when Geppetto for some reason got all excited we were American and spent the next five minutes trying to mime that s/he too was American, and specifically from Minnesota. Minnesota is really hard to mime.

How DO you say "The state that everyone mistakenly assumes Fargo is set in even though the title is a city in North Dakota" in mime?

Eventually s/he resorted to just spelling it out in the air with s/his finger.

I'll tell you, we were eating late at night it seemed like quick food and it was only after we'd been seated that we learned it was a character dining experience. That's just one of the reasons we'll never be back there (the food was awful being the biggest one).

Which restaurant?

Humm, late at night, Quick food, Character....

I'm going to take a shot and go with: Cafe Mickey's in the Disney Village.

I honestly don't remember but that sounds right. It was definitely in Disney Village.

I don't know why I even asked because, with the exception of California Grill, EVERY restaurant we at at there sucked (of course we didn't eat at all of them so maybe we missed a good one, like Walt's perhaps).
