Hi

Visiting WDW in November 2008 with Georgia aged 8, and Louisa who will be nearly 3. Have so far decided to do Chef Mickeys, Crystal Palace and Hollywood and Vine.

Would like opinions on Polynesian character breakfast and Grand Floridian character breakfast.

Any information gratefully received.

'Ohana is great food and if you like Lilo and Stitch, that's the bonus. 1900 Park has Mary Poppins and I have to say, the Mad Hatter and Alice are great. Tigger and Eeyore will probably be there too, so you'll see them twice. The food is GREAT at this breakfast. I say you can never have too many character meals with little ones.

We haven't had breakfast at 1900 Park Fare in some time now, but we've eaten a lot of times at the 'Ohana breakfast and have never been disappointed there.

We eat at the Breakfast at O'Hana's every year. It is now a must. The food is great and the interaction with the Cast is great. Plus we love the Poly and would jumo at every chance to get back there.

Every year we have breakfast at Ohana's - it's a must-do for us!

The 'Ohana breakfast is a favorite for our family, as well. The characters are fun, and they do a parade around the restaurant with the kids that is cute to see (and to participate in).

The Grand Floridian is one of my favorite character breakfasts. I LOVE the strawberry soup! I have also enjoyed Ohana in the past. That is a tough decision!

[Rachel25]

Oh dear - now I am confused! I think it maybe the characters that swing it for us. Georgia loves Mary Poppins and maybe Louisa will be a little small for Lilo's antics.
I am being a bit wary about character interaction on Louisa's first visit as I can remember when Georgia first met characters - it's not always a happy occasion the first time around.

Thanks for all your advice !

Rachel.

I am so many of you recomeend the O'hana breakfast since that is the one breakfast that I am going to book....my DD7 (and DD14 even though she doesn't admit it) love Lilo and Stitch....

The 1900 Park Fare sounds wonderful as well...guess we will ahve to save that one...

My boys loved the 1900 Park Fare character breakfast. In addition to the Mary Poppins clan, we also saw Pinnochio, Gepetto and Chip & Dale while there. I must say it was the largest number of characters we have seen at any breakfast. And the food is well worth the price. Delicious!

If you're worried about the characters and your child's reactions for a first meeting, I'd recommend the 1900 Park Fare then. The breakfast characters are mostly face characters (usually Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter, Alice) and the "masked" characters are very little kid friendly (usually Pooh and Tigger.)

While all the characters are trained to handle little kids who get nervous around them, all the characters at the 'Ohana breakfast are "masked" and might be a little more fightening at first.

Good luck!

My youngest is DD 9 and my oldes is DS16(with 2 othersbetween) and they all loved our O'hana breakfast! We didn't do 1900 Park fare for breakfast, but dinner instead. If the food is any indication, you will really enjoy that too.

I've done both and I think that Ohana's has more action that the 1900 Park Fare does. However, I think that the food was better at the 1900 PF.

We love 1900 Park Fare. It's remarkable food, and the intereaction we've had has always been good.

Decision made - going to go to the Grand Floridian and leave Polynesian until Louisa is older.

Thanks for all your input - most appreciated.
