Re: Character Meals

That sounds about right.

Try for an early breakfast in a park one day (8:10am).. Crystal Palace, Cinderella's Royal Table, Donald's Breakfastsaurus are good places.

Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary is great for breakfast or dinner.

Re: Character Meals

I did the 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian and it's very cool! Quiet with a lot of character. Good food too!

Ooops! Forget to say that it was for breakfeast! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Character Meals

We recently went to Goofy's Liberate your aptitte at Magic Kingdom for an early dinner at 4pm. My 9yr old daughter and 11 yr old son loved it!!! We enjoyed it to. It is defintely worth the money to see the kids recations to the characters and get some autographs that you don't have to wait in line for later in the week!

Re: Character Meals

How old are your children?? I guess, depending upon their age and what characters they like, there is a variety of character meals to choose from.

My children are 7 and 3, now, and this will be the 7yo's 4th trip and the 3 yo's 3rd trip. We have previously gone to CRT, PSB, and Garden Grille (2004), Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace (2005), and this year we are going to Chef Mickey's, Crystal Palace, and O'Hana (Lilo & Stitch Breakfast).

Re: Character Meals

We done dinner at Crystal Palace and really liked it. Our DD was a big Pooh fan when she was younger. In November we ate at 1900 Park Fare, PBS and Ohana's for breakfast. I think my fav was Ohana's.

Re: Character Meals

I agree that you need to get an early breakfast to get inside the park before it opens. We usually do Crystal Palace to get into MK. I think it is one of the best breakfast buffets and the character interaction is superb!!

I also love Ohana's breakfast. It is served family style and I have to say the character interaction is a lot of fun, especially for the kids.

Re: Character Meals

Think of the characters your children really like and schedule a meal with them...Crystal Palace for Pooh and gang....Chef Mickey's for Mickey, Minnie, etc....Ohana' for Stitch....CRT for the princesses.....you have a lot of great choices.

Re: Character Meals

My DD has loved all of the following:
Chef Mickey's, Crystal Palace, and 1900 Park Fare are must dos every time.
Liberty Tree Tavern, Garden Grill, Donald's Breakfastosaurus at AK, Cinderella's Royal Table, and Princess Storybook at Akershus (in Norway at Epcot) are all great.

We still need to try O'Hanas.

Another vote for O'hana, it is by far our favorite character meal!

Re: Character Meals

If you have girls, the Storybook Princess Breakfast at Akershus is great - we booked the first seating and all of the princesses were so great! CRT is of course a must do if you can get in and don't mind the cost... [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img]

Re: Character Meals

We typically do about 4 or 5 for that long a trip! I'd tend more to the 4 side.

Re: Character Meals

Great choices. I think you should do all, if you are on the dining plan.

Re: Character Meals

That sounds like a good plan. We did Crystal Palace (lunch), Donald's (breakfast), and Chef Mickey's (dinner), and 50s PTC (lunch, but that's NOT a character meal) and we were there for 8 days.

Not sure which characters your kids like, but you can't go wrong with Chef Mickey's!
