Important Updates / Corrections:

Dining Reservations has been able to clarify that Lunch service at Garden Grill ends October 5, 2008. The location will only be open for Dinner service starting at 4:30 pm effective October 6, 2008.

Guests with Lunch reservations after October 5, 2008 should call to make alternative arrangements. Although Disney will likely contact the affected Guests, they do appear to be doing so in an expeditious manner thus far.

As previously noted, Goofy's Liberate Your Appetite Character Dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern will be discontinued January 5, 2009. The final offering will be January 4, 2009.

I just called Disney Dining and they confirmed that effective October 5, 2008 there will be no characters at Lunch at the Garden Grill anymore.

Thankfully, I was able to get an evening ADR. Any of you who have ADR's for lunch and are hoping to meet the characters need to call ASAP to try to get a dinner ADR!

Well it's not just Garden Grill . Liberty Tree Tavern will no longer have a character dinner starting January 5, 2009. Not at any meal!! This is so dishearting, I will miss meeting the characters at these places. Character meals are always booked, it just doesn't make sense that they are taking them away instead of adding more!

If you have any doubts about your ADR's, please call and check them. I think it's so sad for everyone who has a lunch booked at GG hoping to meet the characters after October 5. I hope everyone is able to get new ADR's!
