Kids asking for photos and autographs are cute and all, but sometimes the characters themselves may have more fun when approaching a table full of Disney-geekish, fun-seeking, swankishly-hip adults.
:cool:

Sure, the price may be higher than just a normal meal at the parks, but it is Character Dining, after all. The characters come to you! And the food is all you care to enjoy.

And big thanks for your input, Bornieo. :)

Truth be told, I've had pretty poor service at the Jazz Kitchen. (No, for the umpteenth time, I do not want another drink. Also, you just cleared our dessert plates. No, we do not want to look at the dessert menu again.) Plus, I find it to be just as expensive as Goofy's Kitchen.

I've never had anything but wonderful service at Jazz Kitchen, and if that's the venue, you won't hear any complaints from me :)

Catal is yummy, too.

It seems like there are a few concerns. One is the price point - Catal is way over $35 a person and it doesn't take much to get there at Jazz Kitchen either. Another was people not eating much and it's a buffet, and the final one being people who aren't eating can't come and hang out with the eaters.
