Were you able to still get shrimp for some of the table and sub for others, or did your table skip the shrimp completely?I got the kids' appetizer instead of the shrimp.

To you too!I'm trying for May 1st (I didn't realize it become a character meal). Good luck.
Subscribed there and at ***********, just no luck yet. Also, if anyone is reading this later, you can have touring plans do the reservation alerts even without a subscription--you just need to create a "basic" free account.If you subscribe to Touring Plans, you can request a reservation alert.

Good point. The thing is that these characters, other than Snow White, have been very difficult to meet, so many (my family included) are doing this primarily for that reason. We do have a food allergy to deal with (peanut/tree nut), so I am a little concerned about that, but we are looking forward to it!I’m still somewhat new to the Disney way so my apologies if I’m not understanding but I’m a little confused by all the sub discussion going on in this thread. It’s a prix fixe menu, if you dont like the offerings why not go elsewhere, or just skip that one thing you don’t like, or just try something new? I know Disney is accommodating but some of this just seems like taking advantage to a point. Actual allergies not included of course!
No charge for non alcoholic beverages. They are included in the price.Hi all, I can't find information on the reservations that tea/coffee/non-alcoholic beverage is covered in the price of the meal. For those that paid cash (not dining plan) were you charged for any non-alcoholic beverages?
thanx!
Is there parking for restaurant visitors? We're staying offsite and we're hoping for a ressie on arrival day 12/14. We're not going into any parks that first night or relying on any DIStransportation that night (long story short we got stuck at WL once, it sucked).

We ate there this evening (myself and my 6-year old) - we'd been on the fence about cancelling because of the mixed reviews, but I'm glad we decided to give it a try. Overall we liked it, although there were some hiccups and I'm not sure we'd necessarily go there again just until the kinks get worked out.
The food was very good. We received two of each of the appetizers as well as a kids appetizer, and we ate every bite. The soup was very good, the pies were pretty good, and I loved the shrimp. The kids appetizer was fine for what it was; some cheese, veggie sticks, apple slices, and a little biscuit thing with honey butter you were supposed to create yourself. My son tried shaking the butter to mix it but it wasn't happening, and even our poor server couldn't mix it - a cool idea, but it didn't quite work out.
I had the gnocchi and it was fantastic, but very rich, I could only manage about half of it. My son had the chicken tenders, which was served with fries. He devoured the chicken (it was a big portion) and proclaimed them to be the best chicken tenders ever!
We were pretty stuffed by dessert, but they were good too, especially the little apple mousses.
The service was good, but the flow was a little off. It took a while for the server to come to the table, and then he took our drink and food order right away. The food all came out at a good pace, we didn't feel rushed, but they definitely don't want you to linger (which is understandable, it's a busy restaurant). It took a long time to get our check as well, but our server was busy and apologetic when he did bring it.
Character interaction was good, they were all friendly and happy to pose for photos. The Evil Queen was very in character, she literally didn't say one word to us and just kind of glared, it was a bit awkward. I think the set up for the Queen needs to move as well, right now it's in the middle of the restaurant and whenever more than a couple of families are in line, the area becomes congested.
My one big criticism was with the table setup. In the middle of the table is this tree type thing where they place the appetizers and desserts. On bigger tables this is fine, but on our two top, it took up so much space and meant I literally couldn't see my son! I had to look over the top or to the side and it was kind of a pain. The tree spun around but couldn't be moved, and it was basically completely in the way.
As I said I'm glad we went, but I'm not in a huge hurry to go back just yet. I did think it was really promising though!

. The queen was the real winner of the night. As we were being seated for dinner she was leaving for a break. She saw my purse and stopped me, and said thank you for bringing me the head of the dwarf, LOL!! When we met her officially as we were leaving, she said, "Ah yes, you are the one who brought me the head of the dwarf...next time bring me the WHOLE dwarf. You have three huntsmen with you, it shouldn't be too hard". She was gorgeous and perfect and amazing!
