I also ate here on the 30th January 08 which was my 25th Birthday....

It was amazing and we had fantastic character interaction and when they brought my cake out i had every character at my table dancing etc it was great and embarrasing

Me and my had the Minnie pasta which was very filling, my Dad ate off the set menu and from what i can remember he had the Pluto steak and the snow white apple tart?.

DD danced with Minnie and Pluto and had loads of attention from Minnie who came back to our table on several occasions even though the place was full.

Our waiter was also very friendly.

I love this place!

This was when my cake was brought out.

This thread inspired me to make a small CM montage of my recent meal there:

Was done very quickly and on paint so forgive me, lol.

Lovely pics

 

[ghockley1981]

lovely pics, we were here in early sep and loved it, we saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Baloo, Tigger, Friar Tuck, Gepetto, King John. I'll upload pic at a later date. The food was great but you were too excited looking for the next character to really enjoy it to be honest.

While we were there the music went of for a character dance and all the kids joined Mickey and Pluto in the middle for a dance. That moment was great and I bet all the kids left there with a big grin on their face.

Worth every penny for the pics and the memories and maybe even filling your belly a bit too!

Photobucket has stopped being totally evil now, so here's my review!

We ate at Cafe Mickey for Lunch on our recent trip, and once more we had an AMAZING time....

Robert had reserved a table for us, and we only had to wait behind one (Huge!) family to get into the retaurant at 12noon. We were shown to our table by a very smiley Cast Member, and were quickly brought over our menus:

Service was a little slow because our waitress was training up a new waitress (Who was still very in awe of the whole place- Bless her!).... We didn't mind though as we wanted a longer meal. We decided to go for the Garlic Cheesebread Starter (Which remains the best garlic bread in the world!) and then Pizzas each. We wished we'd known how big the pizzas would be! Next time we would get one to share.

Garlic Cheesebread:

Robert's Pizza (Topped with Bacon, Ham, Tex Mex Chicken, and Pepperoni):

My Pizza (Tex Mex Chicken and Pepperoni):

We were also given a bottle of flavoured oil to put on the pizza if we wished:

We also plumped for cocktails to drink. Robert went for Alice's 'Drink Me':

While I stuck to my favourite, Mr. Smee!!

Now, Robert admitted he hadn't ordered me a birthday cake, but he said I could have dessert, despite not finishing my pizza! However, there was a catch! Tic and Tac were in my bag, and I had to get them out and play with them in Cafe Mickey....!! Which I did:

The woman at the table next to us looked at me like I was crazy, so I turned Tic and Tac to face her and made them wave at her! She nearly fell off her chair laughing!

That out of the way, we ordered desserts. Robert ordered the Coupe Vanilla Toffee Crunch:

While I went for the Snow White Apple Tart:

All of the food was very very VERY good!!

Now, the characters!! We met loads! First was Friar Tuck, who was an absolute sweetie, and kept hiding from Prince John! We loved him! He also kept peeking over the back of the booth (Where we were sitting) and waving!

Then came Mickey!! Yay!!

The reason I'm laughing so hard on that picture is because Prince John was sneaking up behind Robert! He crept up very quietly and started banging his chair off the floor! Robert's face was a study! I was in hysterics! Mickey was looking at me making: "He's Crazy!" gestures!! Mickey then waved goodbye, and left us with Prince John:

As soon as this photo was taken, Prince John pushed the waitress in next to me and started trying to steal her moneybelt!! He then decided to chase her round the restaurant, which was sooooo funny I had tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard!!

Then out came Goofy:

Mr Smee:

Minnie Mouse:

And Captain Hook (Who babies seem to love!! Seriously, the baby at the table behind us wouldn't let go of his hook!).... I laughed because he came up to Robert, and pointed at his stubble and hair in amazement! I think he thought Robert was his long-lost twin!

Robert and me then had hysterics because Mr Smee and Goofy were chasing each other around the restaurant with napkins!

Goofy then stole Mr. Smee's glasses, but gave them back very quickly, which led to another chase around! We were laughing so hard we could barely breathe!!

Goofy also kept coming up behind me and patting me on the head! We caught him on camera though!

So we had an amazing meal!! The total bill for all that fabulous food and hilarious character interaction was 80.80Euro....It was worth every penny and I would happily go back again and again!

We ate here on Monday the 15th of Dec at 12 noon.
IMHO 12 noon was a good time to go to Cafe Mickey. When we were last there (March in the evening) we had to wait outside in the freezing cold for half an hour even though we had a reservation. This time the restaurant was practically empty so we were seated straight away and obviously without the pressure of a packed restaurant the CM's were friendlier and the service much faster. Having said all that the interaction with the characters wasn't as good, apart from Chip and Dale who were ace-as cheeky and playful as ever. The others- Mickey, Pluto, Eyore and Friar Tuck came over, had a quick photo and were off- maybe they were conserving their energies for the main lunch time rush or maybe we were just unlucky. Having said that my DS still had a nice time and without all the fooling around the upside was he ate all his meal. (the best character meal he had-and one I wasn't expecting to be so great was a Auberge)
Food

For starters we shared this lovely Tinkerbell Tart- with Tomato, mozzarella and roket it was gorgeous light and full of flavour. We also had Fantasia mushrooms which were very good too. The big disappointment was the garlic bread which was so dry it was like eating cardboard.
For the main course my DS had Pasta Fantasia- pasta in the shape of Mickey with beef meatballs- which he actually ate! and tomato sauce.
My husband, who was on a mission to find the best steak (Walt's won) had the Simba steak. He said it wad cooked just as he asked it, but it was obvious from the taste that the grill hadn't been cleaned recently (that's the problem when you eat out with a restraunteur!). It was served with a baked potato topped with sour cream and Gorgonzola cheese

I enjoyed my main of Timon and Pumba's pasta favourite- Scallop and smoked salmon raviolli.

Generally the food was good and okay it is expensive but IMHO it's worth it- you're on holiday and where else can your child have the magic of having lunch with Mickey?

We ate there on the 27th November for my birthday. We did not order a special cake but there were a lot of birthday that night. The restaurant was full and despite our booking, we wait twenty minutes. Our waiter was fun and we had fun to make him crazy by 'being great big Belgians'! It was so funny!

Decoration: 7.5/10
Vibe: 8.5/10 (lots of characters and dances of waiters)
Service: 8/10 (thanks to 'Captain Flame')
Food: 8.5/10 (really good)

My cocktail (Paradize cocktail?)

I took Princess' Aurora choice: good chicken very tasty and great pasta

My mum took the Garlic Mickey's bread which was good and huge

We didn't take any dessert because a birthday cake was waiting for me in our bedroom!

We ate here a lunchtime on wednesday 4th feb. i love cafe mickey at lunchtime its much more relaxed. it always looks quite hectic at night time. we were seated straight away. during the meal we had six characters, mickey, mr smee, prince john, scrooge mcduck, goofy and robin hood. i ordered a non alcoholic fruit cocktail this one was better than the one at the rainforest. there was a pinapple on the glass and ash was screaming for it. the poor girl was so excited for a bit of fruit. its my only critisism of dlrp the lack of fruit. so ash enjoyed the bit of pinapple. i got a pizza to share with ash as i was not paying almost 17 euro for chicken nuggets she wouldnt eat. the pizza was so nice and even two of us couldnt finish it, it was huge. ash got a free drink in a cafe mickey cup again. my mom again had fish and chips and this she enjoyed as well. great character interaction and great food.

We celebrated DD's birthday in Cafe Mickey on Monday 11th May.
We had reserved our table the day before, and our reservation time was 7.30pm. Strangely, when we arrived at 7.15, the "reserved" line was already full and overflowing with lots of other people who'd made reservations and hadn't been seated. There didn't seem to be any particular reason for this, and no-one from the staff gave any explanation or apology either . At 7.40 we were seated.
Unfortunately, the seats we were given were right behind the door in the conservatory, in a place where characters had no chance of getting anywhere near us. As we were there to have a birthday cake etc, I asked to be moved, and we were moved with no problem, to seats in the main downstairs area, in front of the buffet.

In short, once we'd been seated, we had a fabulous time . We were there for 2 hours, in that time at least a dozen characters came out and about, and the only ones we didn't see at our table were Baloo and the cat from Pinnocchio. Mickey brought over DD's birthday cake to her, and Eeyore wrote here a special birthday message in her autograph book .

We ordered garlic bread with cheese between us to start, and a margharita pizza to share also (they are huge, and we couldn't finish either of them) -

Here is a picture of DD's Mickeys Magical Party cake -

And the man himself -

Our starter was 6.90 euros, pizza was 14.50 euros, 2 soft drinks were 6 euros. The birthday cake, if ordered at the resort, is now 24 euros, but I got shareholders discount on the whole lot, and so my total final bill was 44 euros. Worth it for all those characters and the look on my DD's face when Mickey brought her cake

A short and old review from Sept (not very good at reviews)

DD had the infant menu which was pasta and deser buffet. She didnt eat any of the pasta and I dont blame her, it was cold,tasteless and had loads of green herbs on it. She had some smarties and a yoghurt off the desert buffet.

DH had the plutos steak and I had the salmon pasta which was yummy (cant remember the name) we both had snow white apples pie which was delicous.

We paid 98 euros for this plus 2 cocktails.

The charcter intervention was excellent, DD was so excited. We saw Minnie, Mickey, Pluto, Goofy, Carpenter, some lion and the rabbit from alice in wonderland.

Apple pie:

We ate at Café Mickey at 7.30pm on Wednesday 17th June. We arrived at exactly 7.30pm as we were running late and there was a queue outside. One lane for people who had reserved and another for those who had not. We only had to wait a couple of minutes before a table of 2 was free so we were ushered through ahead of the 2 families in front. We had already decided to have the pizza as I had heard it was good and we had not tried it here before. To start we shared Tinkerbells Mozzarella and tomato tart. I had all the Mozzarella and DH had all the tomato we shared the tart which was delicious. It also came with a salty tasting kind of dip, any idea what this was? It was nice to have with the mozzarella. For mains we shared cheesy garlic bread and a pizza with bacon, pepperami and Italian chicken on. By this time I was feeling quite tired and my throat was quite sore so I was not really in the mood for eating. The pizza was fine, maybe a little greasy and my personal preference is deep pan, but DH really liked it. The garlic bread is the same size as the pizza huge so you really don’t need much. For pudding I had the Snow White Apple Crumble which was very nice. To drink I had a non-alcoholic Mr Smee and my DH had a vanilla Coke. The service was relatively quick and I was surprised how many people were having a birthday whilst we were there. There were quite a few characters out but in the first 45mins only Friar Tuck came to our table. The main problem was children from a completely different section of the restaurant dragging the character over to their table so if you were supposed to be next you missed out. Luckily for us after 45mins we got a new family sit next to us who did exactly this which meant that the characters came to us straight after they had seen them. We then saw Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Gideon, Gipetto, and Captain Hook. Pluto was running round but the restaurant was so busy with the upstairs and conservatory all being used and the characters are only allowed out for a limited amount of time before having a break. Would definitely recommend this place, we were here for 2 hours but didn’t seem this long. It’s a shame they no longer do the adult buffet desert but this is now reserved for children. This restaurant is already on our list for our next visit.

We here on Monday 20th June 2009.

We had half board plus vouchers to use at face value.

Having been to Cafe Mickey 4 years ago, we were really looking forward to this meal. We had originally booked a table for 6.30 using the reservation booking number, but on the day we popped in to change it to 7.15 so that we could catch the parade at the studios. It was changed without a problem.

The staff were all very nice, and it was getting very busy with queues when we arrived for our table. We were seated upstairs, but shown to a booth seat in the corner. I knew as soon as we sat down that it wasn't a great spot, it was away from the main hub of things, and I knew that the characters wouldn't be able to get right round us all - but I never asked for a move, I wish I had.

The restaurant is lovely and bright, and we were served quickly. I chose the lasagne, which was nice, but a bit spicy for me, 18.70E.

DH and Mark both had the steak, well done, which they enjoyed but commented that it was very bland, 21.50E.

Abbey had a plain pizza, which she said was really nice, 14.50E. You could add toppings on for extra charge.

Lewis ate from the kids menu and had a Mickey shaped pizza, drink, and a small pot of ice cream for dessert, 16.50E!!!! - sorry no photos

We met Mr Smee, the Sheriff from Robin Hood, Rafiki, and some others:

Lewis was a bit frightened of Captain Hook, so when he came to the table he sat beside DH and lay on top of him, pretending to sleep for ages! We couldn't get rid of him!!!

He then picked up my camera and took pictures of the kids, tried to steal some juice and then left. By the end Lewis was laughing his head off, so maybe it was a good ploy by Captain Hook!

I'd read before that the characters all get up and dance to the 'Freedom' song. They did this to Aretha Franklin, Think - I was expecting Wham!

Drinks cost 3.50E each. Our total bill came to 106.70E and I really would not pay that again for what we ate. We paid using 4 adult hb plus vouchers, and kept Lewis' voucher for another night.

If we go again, we will order pizzas, drinks and a nice dessert - there is no way I would upgrade to HB premium for the quality of the food. Maybe it was because it was so hot, but for us we didn't want a 3 course meal, however we will definately go again as the character interaction is fantastic, and the atmosphere is good - I would just make sure we weren't pushed into a corner booth.

 

[lilacgems23]

Theyve changed the childrens menu since Sept, which is good as there more choices now. I recommend against the pasta, its very green and DD wouldnt eat it, I had to and it was not nice

 

[buttercup1982]

We ate here on Friday the 7th of August 2009 at 6.15 for our son's 4th birthday. We were seated upstairs by a window looking over panoramagique which was lovely. We had ate in Walts at 1 so were not really that hungry but had booked to have his birthday cake brought out here.
The children were given crayons and little toys to keep them entertained. Not that we needed them!! As soon as we arrived Captain Hook came over, Ethan had his Peter Pan costume on so they had a lovely little fight with Ethan catching Captain Hook's arm and him sulking! Not sure how to upload video's or I would have put it on!

We ordered two pizza's for me and the kids to share, and DH had Simba's Black Angus Burger. We couldn't believe how many characters where there! Goofy even fed Ethan his birthday cake! All the character's made lots of fuss of him because he had his big badge on which I thought was lovely!
DH and myself thought the singing and dancing of the staff and characters great!
We would definately dine here again, the character interaction was great and the food was very good too. One thing I would say is that I don't think it's a premium restaurant and because of this we never used our vouchers there.

 

[~Pixie Lady~]

We really enjoyed our meal at Cafe Mickey However, it was the character interaction rather than the food which made it enjoyable!

We ate here at 8pm on the 23rd June 2009. We had made reservations so could go straight in.

All 5 of us opted for the 30 Euro set menu which includes starter, main course and dessert.

My sister, mum, dad and uncle went for the garlic mushroom starter which looked delicious and they all really enjoyed it although my sister complained that hers was a bit salty.

I went for the tomato soup starter which was delicious and home made rather than the tinned stuff I normally eat

For main course, my uncle, dad and I all went for the steak. I have to be honest and say that I did not really enjoy my steak at all! At first, I didnt want to tell my family that i wasnt enjoying my steak as it was my idea to eat at Cafe Mickey's in the first place and I had made a big fuss about eating here But they were all enjoying the character interaction so much that it didn't really matter! All 3 of us did not enjoy the steak, it was very tough and chewy and did not have a lot of flavour and I didn't particularly like the shallot sauce. We did all ask for it to be cooked at medium which it had appeared to be so I dont know why it was quite so tough. The chips however, were very nice.

My sister went for the lasagne whcih was very hot and cheesy and she really enjoyed it and finished every last scrap.

My mum had the pasta (I think it was Pinocchios Pasta) which whcih was lovely and creamy and she really enjoyed it. I had a little taste and I think if I were to come here again i would probably have this pasta.

For dessert we all had the Snow White apple pie. Again, I didn't enjoy this much! I'm not norally a fussy eater, I dont know why cafe Mickey's food wasnt such a big hit for me when it has had so many good reviews. I think it was becuase i was expecting some kind of warm baked apple crumble type dish and instead it was layers of dried apple rings on pastry i just didnt find particularly appetising. My unlce diod not particularly like his either although he ate it all. the rest of the group enjoyed it but werent "wowed" by it.

But like I said, it was the interaction that made this restaurant for us and it really is such a good opportunity to get some lovely character photos without having to do battle in the scrums in the park. There was a funny little incident where Friar Tuck came over to our table and he couldnt quite fit in between the tables so he lifted his rather considerable bulky tummy over the edge of the table so he could squeeze in

Also, we did not really have much probelm with other kids coming to our tables as the characters sort of shoooed them back to their own table and told them to wait and to be fair to them they did get around to everyone even though the restaurant was very busy.

I would definitely eat here again, but i wouldnt go for the steak.

Here are some Cafe Mickey Breakfast Buffet Pics!!

We went here on Tuesday was quite quiet and so much fun.
