She really liked it, and was pleased that she was able to order a healthier option without oil. We had the Fantasmic package. Throughout the year, Minnie’s Seasonal Dine changes with the seasons. All the characters were great. The price was a bit steep, and I was a little bummed that Tables in Wonderland wasn’t accepted, but as you mentioned, using the Disney Visa did save 10%, but no discounts at all at Sci-Fi. I have three avid little Star Wars fans in my family and we’re planning a Star Wars weekend trip for 2015. We did enjoy the character interaction – we are, as yourself, two adults traveling without children, and enjoy seeing the characters from time to time. Although I have not read your review for that meal yet, I am betting in advance that you came to the same conclusion we did. // ]]> My understanding (and I could be wrong) with regard to Hollywood & Vine is that it’s one of the least popular character meals and in-park restaurants at Walt Disney World. We were told when we were seated to take our time and see all of the characters. Hopefully Disney takes the opportunity to turn this successful test into something more elaborate then. Whether or not that makes the Star Wars Weekend character dinner at Hollywood & Vine worth it for you is only a question you can answer. Sarah got pasta from the “Create Your Own Pasta” Station. It seemed like there were a LOT of kids in our meal that were having an absolute blast. Not a big Star Wars fan!?!? Make sure to read our Star Wars Galactic Dine-In Breakfast Review, too! Center section front row this time. // ]]> Based on pricing. I definitely agree with your review. It was the sweetest thing everrrrr!!!!! The buffet was the same, but they added the clever Star Wars names to the food. I’d much rather eat at Yachtsman Steakhouse! 3:43. I guess we just got lucky? I could be wrong, but I believe they served Di-Lithium crystals from the Starship Enterprise disguised as chicken nuggets. Enjoy breakfast with some of your favorite Disney Junior Characters at Disney Junior Play ‘n’ Dine—or sit down to a delish lunch or dinner as Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy stop by for a visit during Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood & Vine. Don't visit Hollywood Studios without visiting this table service location. Salads, soups, create-your-own pasta, fish of the day, grilled meats, fresh fruits and breads, sundae bar. I would not hesitate to eat there again. His four-year old mind was blown. You should have said hello! Our server told us the buffet was completely new as of the Star Wars meals. Required fields are marked *. This was our first ever Star Wars Weekend visit, and I thought this would be a great way to meet some of the characters, so we could have more time for other events. Our entire meal was probably a little over an hour, and 3 of the characters made 2 visits. Haha jk. SPECIAL DINING: From May 4 to June 15, 2014, at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Star Wars-themed character meals will be offered at Hollywood & Vine for dinner and Sci-Fi Dine In for breakfast. Own or manage this property? Not to mention the interaction by the characters. Even though the food was good, the character interactions and light sabers totally made the meal. The food was good for a buffet style lunch and as expected from a buffet, all you can eat. So glad you liked the meal! The salmon was pretty good. Both Donald and Goofy wanted to take Sarah with them, and the other characters were fun, as well. PS sorry for my english, I’m writting from Europe , Hi Tom, Thanks for this review. What has not changed, in our opinion, is the poor quality of the food. Most of these desserts weren’t memorable, but they all were fairly good. Yeah, although it doesn’t affect us personally, I was a bit disappointed to see these as 2-credit meals on the Dining Plan. Just to give you an idea of a baseline here, we had dined at Chef Mickey’s for dinner a couple of nights before this (it has the same style of food), and we found Hollywood & Vine considerably better than Chef Mickey’s. It is not, as you pointed out, a good value for those on the Dining Plan. New for Star Wars Weekends, Walt Disney World is offering Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at Hollywood and Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. My guess is that the Star Wars meals were a last minute idea, and Advance Dining Reservations had already been taken for the regular meals there prior to the Star Wars meals getting the final greenlight, so maybe this wasn’t possible. Definitely more of a casual like rather than a hobby/interest. Everything but alcohol is included in the price and you can have as many refills and plates of food as you want. Thanks for this write up! I still cringe at how much we paid for this meal, but I do not at all regret it, even at that price. The fact that we dined at Yachtsman and California Grill for less on this visit tells you something about the price of these meals. The energy was great, the characters were a lot of fun, and the food was good. So, basically, we wasted a Dining Plan table service credit. Then again, I can’t really think of any character meal that I think is “worth it” in terms of food alone. Chances are, you’d wait even longer than that. If you are a resident of another country or region, please select the appropriate version of Tripadvisor for your country or region in the drop-down menu. Thanks Tom and Sarah! I was doubtful about this place because it was a Star Wars themed character dinner, but right away the staff made it feel like a true Disney experience. Hollywood & Vine serves hearty meals with an extra helping of FUN thanks to the presence of Disney characters! Best thing for us was our timing was perfect and we were able to find some prime viewing for the fireworks. The food was delicious so much choice and so fresh from salads, breads, pastas, soup, cooked meats, veg and lots more plus lots of bite size deserts.I would definitely recommend this experience we were pleasantly surprised and would go again. // .
