I thought each park had a character meal. But I can only find info on the one at IOA. Did they do away with the character meal at US?

I don't recall US ever having a character meal.

Here's information on the character breakfast at IOA: Theme Park Foods and Concession Stands: Universal Orlando

The Royal Pacific Resort also has a character dinner: Emeril's Tchoup Chop, Orchid Lounge, Royal Pacific Resort Dining : Universal Orlando

Does anyone have more details on the dining that occurs at the Royal Pacific Resort. Several posts have referenced it but with not any real detail. We're going in April and staying at the Royal Pacific with two 5 year old boys who love Spiderman.

Thanks!

Any news or updates on character meals at Universal? What characters are included?

I would strongly advise against the character breakfast at the Confisco grill.

If you have ever taken part in a character dining experience at a Disney park then you will be sorely disappointed.

The food was really pretty lousy and the service was terrible. It is a small buffet style table which had eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits, "green eggs and ham" sandwhiches, cereal and fruit. Another smaller table had some french toast, syrup, and something else that escapes me at the moment. We didn't like any of the food at all, in fact I left there hungry.

Our server didn't care that we even existed since she was getting an included 18% gratuity anyway. We received no refills, and at one point my fiance requested some sort of hot sauce for the eggs, and she never returned with it.

We were told that the characters will come to your table and we don't need to go after them, so I thought that at least I could get a picture with Spider-Man and be happy. There were only 3 characters there: Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 + Thing 2 (yes I count them as one character), and Spider-Man. Cat in the Hat skipped our table completely, and when Spider-Man was making his rounds the Things were at our table. I figured that the employee telling the person in the Spider-Man suit would send him to our table after they left, but instead sent him back to two tables he already visited to take more pictures and then he left.

I was just stunned with how little the employees there cared about us as guests, it was a vastly different experience from Disney, which is quite unfortunate. After all was said and done I spent about $45-$50 to just leave disappointed and hungry. I urge you to save your money and avoid the character breakfast at the Confisco Grill, that money is better spent on a character breakfast at Disney instead. Disney REALLY knows how to put on a character dining experience, Universal hasn't really figured it out yet.

Just wanted to agree, also I think a lot of people didn't like it as well or it has just gotten a bad rep (which it deserves) I believe that ¾ of the restaurant was empty, the food was a bit cold, and Dry not worth the money spent. We would have been better off eating counter service. You can also see the characters at their designated locations (it’s on the IOA map) Wish we would have done that instead. I don’t want to sound bitter, but I just wanted to give you our opinion /experience.

Good to know, thank you! My son loves Spider Man, but this does not sound worth it.
