Hollywood and Vine: Minnie's Seasonal Dine - Hollywood Studios, Echo Lake
There are five Characters at Lunch and Dinner, Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. The fantastic thing about this Lunch and Dinner is that the character outfits change with the season. Overall, this is a good experience. Is it mind-blowing food? No, but it's very good. The diner feel does not feel like over-the-top elegance like Cinderella's Royal Table or sophisticated like Topolino's. But it feels like home.

Here is our families dining review of Be Our Guest. Be Our Guest is a signature dining experience in Magic Kingdom located in Fantasyland at Beast castle.
