During the breakfast, Margo, Edith, Agnes, and a Minion stopped at our table. To be precise, they stopped next to our table, and staff members called families for their meet-and-greet. I really liked this, as it expedited the meetings while still giving each family just the right amount of time with the characters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Despicable-Me-breakfast-Edith-Agnes-and-Margo-Gru.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Despicable-Me-breakfast-Edith-Agnes-and-Margo-Gru.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Despicable-Me-breakfast-Edith-Agnes-and-Margo-Gru-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seating arrangements are in tables of eight. Because there are three seating times, you only have 1 hour to eat, but\u00a01 hour for breakfast, especially for a family with kids, is sufficient. I visited with a friend, and we enjoyed chatting with the other guests at our table. The waitstaff was very efficient in both handling any request and in chaperoning the characters to all tables in a timely and orderly fashion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Despicable-Me-character-breakfast-room.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Despicable-Me-character-breakfast-room.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Despicable-Me-character-breakfast-room-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Good to Know when Dining with Minions<\/h2>\n<p>Seating times are 8:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m., and 11:00 a.m. Dining with Minions is a great way to start the day or to end a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/universal-orlando-resort\/\">Universal Orlando<\/a> vacation if you have an early afternoon return flight.
