One of our best experiences this past year was a Garden Grill 8AM PPO. It was late Feb so a relatively slower time of year. We arrived right around 8 and were seated right away. We were the only people in Garden Grill for a good 15 minutes or so and had ALL of the charachters to ourselves. We sat down and they all came to sit with us. It was just me and my son on that trip - we have the best photos with all of the charachters!
Plus they continued to come back around later during our meal.
Tons more charachter time than any other character meal we've ever done.
I know some complain about the food at GG, but in a cheesy way this is usually a must-do for us.
