Favorite Character dining experiences

who? me? it would be wrong if you assume I have kids. Not quite old enough to have/want kids (even though I know people yonger than me have them). Plus, I'd need a partner to assist (in making, not really handling).

My favorite is at O'hana's. I love the food and the characters. My second favorite is the Castle breakfast. Now the food isn't that great to me, but the decor and the view are something that can make anyone feel like a child.

We have been to the Crystal Palace , Liberty Tree Inn, Donald's Restaurantosaurus, and Chef Mickey's.

Without the doubt the winner is Donald's Restaurantosaurus. Not for the food or characters that are there, but for the servers. Ours was very entertaining, doing magic tricks, telling jokes and interacting with the kids. I wish I could share the videos I took. They are great memories of a fun breakfast.

Aw man, you all just reminded me that I have three, not two, character breakfasts left to do before I have them all done. I've been to Chef Mickey's four times, O'Hana's twice, 1900 Park Fare, Hollywood & Vine (no longer a character dining experience), Cinderella's Royal Table, and Cape May Cafe once. I've yet to do Crystal Palace, Donald's Restrauntosaurus, and the Princess Storybook. I hope to cram them in before my internship is up in January '06. My favorite is Chef Mickey's. It's wonderful in every aspect: great characters (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy), full buffet spread, in the Contemporary and view of the monorail, and they periodically get everyone involved and excited for Chef Mickey to appear by swinging your napkins above your heads. My second fave is O'Hana, probably only because it's served family style. Not that I expressely dislike family-style, but for breakfast I love to have as many options as possible. Otherwise it's fantastic b/c you get Mickey, Goofy, and Chip and Dale: all my favorite fur characters!

I haven't done any character lunches or dinners, though, so I welcome one of those.

Ohana is getting Lilo and Stitch... and yes I do remember The Crystal Palace when it was just another restaurant, of course I remember when all the restaurants were just restaurants...I must be getting toooo old.

My daughters grew up absolutely loving the Royal Table, Ohana's & the Lberty Tree Tavern....We also enjoyed the breakfast, which had been held at Olivia's, in Old Key West.

1900 park Fare is my favorite. Love the Mad Hatter and the Chesse Blintzes!

When we stayed at The Beach Club Villas last year, my daughter (then 2 years) wanted to have breakfast with "Chips" and "Gueffy" every morning... EVERY morning!! LOL

This year, it was Princesses all the way (Norway, Grand Floridian, and then in Disneyland, we ate at Ariel's Grotto).

I'd have to say the land because my family and I were looking for a nice place to eat but not that crazy. It's my favorite b/c Pluto gave me food. It was quite funny!

Wow, I hadn't been to a Character meal in a couple years (teen kids now

). Our favorite was the one at MGM. It is a shame that's gone. We took loads of people, to traveling with us, to the Contemporary.

We would eat some quick Devil's Food Crumb Entemann's donuts for breakfast (can't get them in Louisiana), head to early day at MK, have our breakfast scheduled for the last breakfast priority seating at Chef Mickey's and head out of MK at about 10:30 on the monorail to Contemporary. This is about the time the park starts getting crowded, we are ready for a break, and if you've played it right - you've ridden 8-10 rides already. You get to Chef Mickey's, load up on breakfast foods you want quickly because they will be bringing lunch to the buffet. Then you get what you want for lunch and you're full till late that night!

We are cheap to te bone! You gotta be if you want to visit 4-5 times a year while traveling from Louisiana!

We are big fans of the dinner at Chef Mickey's. Lots of character interaction and the best food I have had at a character meal. I also like to sit back and watch the monorails glide by.

Cape May breakfast is a close second, since Beach Club Villas is our home resort and where we stay most times.
