We actually are planning on doing both - but have my sister-in-law and her BF joining us for breakfast, and wondered which one is yummier to treat them to?
Also to consider is they will be driving to whichever resort we do breakfast at - they are local and are meeting us. Is GF or CR - either one easier for them to deal with parking at?
thanks!
 
We dined both places in December 2008. Both are wonderful.

From my experience, the breakfast food is better at 1900 Park Fare. The character experience is a little quieter at 1900 Park Fare, too.

If your family would enjoy "napkin waving" and cast members building up the excitement, then they might enjoy the character interaction at Chef Mickey's more.

1900 Park Fare had Pooh, Tigger, Alice and the Mad Hatter when we were there. Of course, Chef Mickey's had Mickey and Minnie.

Chef Mickey's has all guests take a picture together before the meal. While you are eating the photographs are brought to your table, and you can choose to purchase a photo package. I bought key chains and refrigerator magnets, and if memory serves, it was all ready for me to pick up by the time we left.

All in all, I like the food a little better at 1900 Park Fare's breakfast. The atmosphere there is somewhat elegant, because of the hotel. But I like the traditional characters at Chef Mickey's and the tradition of being in the Contemporary Resort (one of Walt's original resorts) slightly more.

For us, parking was easy at both resorts, as long as we had a dining reservation.

100% agree with your post! I'll add that 1900 Park Faire also has made-to-order omelettes, which are really nice, and hand carved ham. Plus soft serve ice cream for breakfast!!!! We absolutely loved the Mad Hatter - he was really funny.
 

Well for us, it would be Chef Mickey's. We were very disapointed in Park Faire (seemed soooo much louder than Chef Mickeys, also the service we had a park faire for dinner and breakfast was terrible!!!!) We love Chef Mickey's :goodvibes
 
We love both places. Parking is easy at both places. Like PP said, it depends on which characters you want to see. Chef Mickey's has Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto. We have even seen Chip and Dale there, but I don't know if they are still there or not. 1900 Park Fare has Mary Poppins, Alice, Eeyore, Mad Hatter, and Pooh. Not all may be there.
 
As far as the food goes it's pretty tough to screw up eggs.

I would choose the characters that are more appealing.

We have gone to both and my vote is for Chef Mickey's! We did not care for Park Fare and won't be going for breakfast again!
