Mickey's Backyard BBQ

Anyone done this? Considering booking for April. We will have a car, so thankfully we don't have to worry about bussing there. All you can eat BBQ, beer and wine and dancing with characters. Would love to see pictures if anyone has them!

We had thanksgiving dinner there last year. According to my 8 yo it was the "Best Thanksgiving EVER!" Everything you said is true and the kids had a great time. The food was good and plenty for 2nds and 3rds. Plus all you can eat Mickey bars for dessert. I only wish it was longer. Time definitely flew by and they quickly ushered us out.

We went in June. We took the boat over from Magic Kingdom, so if you don't want to drive you have that option too. I have to agree that it goes by quick and they clear you out. The characters are dressed in their "cowboy/cowgirl/farmer" attire. They had a lasso performer that was really cool to watch. The band was really good. The characters dance on the dance floor with the kids. The characters take pictures with the kids. The food was ok to me, but others were loving it so it's all what you like. It's buffet style.  I could have done without the flies around the buffet but it's a BBQ so it's to be expected.  Definitely plenty of Mickey bars for dessert!! You sit under a giant pavilion on picnic tables. Get there early because there is no assigned seating.

We went in October, and while I'm glad we experienced it, I wouldn't do it again. It was hot, and the food was just okay.
