Best All Round Character Meal....
Just wondering which one you all prefer and why?
We are hoping to do one next trip for DD's 8th Birthday, but we will also have DS who is 6 and our little god daughter who will be about 18 months by then, so we need something to suit them all...... Opinions please!

We really enjoy the garden grill, nice food served family style and excellent character interaction as its a bit quieter than a buffet

Do you mean for the interaction or food?
As above Garden Grill, with it being smaller & quieter they get around to you at least twice (if you want them twice) Food wise we really like it but others don't. For food my favourite is Akershus, you get a cold buffet including smoked salmon and a hot entree served to you. Plus you get a photo included.You need to decide which characters you want to see and type of food you want.

We love Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House in AK. The character interaction is great, you get Donald outside for the character photo, then Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Daisy - all in their safari gear of course!
It's a buffet breakfast and the food is great. It's one character meal we will do every time we go.

Thats another thing you need to choose, which meal? we have done all the breakfasts, don't think any are worth it but I can't eat in the morning, we have done them to use credits on DDP but wouldn't pay for any. If you like to eat breakfast then you have to consider.

If I only had to pick one I'd do chef mickeys breakfast. Fun atmosphere and the 5 main characters.

We loved Ohana breakfast.
 Yummy food, really fun, all the kids seemed to be having a blast dancing around. And the characters were well spaced and spent lots of time with everyone. I've heard lots of good things about the breaker buffet at the Beach Club too.

Define your needs.
Princesses are cool, but has your DD outgrown princesses ? And how would the 6 year old big guy feel being surrounded by costumed girls and princesses ? Wouldn't it feel awkward for him ... if not then go for akershus (but on a personnal level, I would never punish a boy with such an experience) same thing goes for CRT Define what characters are the favorites among your party. If it's the fab 5 then go for Chef Mickey If they are more lilo and stitch then go for Ohana I would also consider the Safari Breakfast at Tusker House If your kids are glued to disney junior, then there is no way you skip Hollywood & Vine Next thing to think about is if you want a resort or a park breakfast. If you have a car and can get early in the parks for a breakfast, then you'll most probably have a head start over other guests when the park opens. Plus you get to see the park empty and that's priceless. It's not part of the breakfast itself, but it's value added IMHO lots of things to think about. There is no "all round Character Meal", and there is no definite answer. What do your kids like, as far as character and meal type go.
