Generally speaking, I've never seen the cast "pick on" anybody who wasn't playing along. They have a pretty good sense of who is game and who isn't. On our first trip, I was wearing a Superman T-shirt which was pretty much asking for trouble. But really, all I got was a gentle ribbing. The waitress pointed me out to other tables as Superman.
Usually, they just say clever things. On our last trip, when the waiter brough drink refills he commented that he would have "Mom" add plastic covers to our mattresses before bed tonight. He had a lot of one-liners all night long that had our table chuckling without picking on any one person.
My father-in-law didn't finish his veggies and got the old airplane trick. But my father-in-law thrives on attention. We still talk about it and laugh.
My wife has never been picked on. But when I go to the bathroom, she tends to empty her plate on to mine in hopes I won't notice.
Anyway, I'd just reassure her that unless she attempts to make a target of herself, she won't be picked on. It's all in good fun. And it really is a lot of fun. We've never had a bad experience with regards to the character interaction. And we're not the sort of people who usually enjoy that sort of thing.
On top of that, the food is good. Nothing exotic, to be sure. But very satisfying after a long day at the park. And the atmosphere is great if you enjoy the whole kitschy thing.
Once she goes, I'm sure it will become a favorite. It is the one place my family has eaten at on every single WDW trip. And we always have a great time.
Final recommendation: Try the pot roast. I'm not a pot roast fan, but this is my favorite meal on property.
