Best Breakfast Buffet

[jimmytammy]

We like The Wave and Trails End for breakfast buffets. No characters, so makes less pricey, plus food is really good at both.

We like Cape May Cafe! Great food and character interaction. We're trying Crystal Palace & The Wave for breakfast as well in September.

In my experience, it all depends on the day, how many people are in the restaurant, the behavior of people in the restaurant, and whether Disney overbooked it. Unfortunately, there is no way to plan for this.

Some people rave about the character interactions at 1900 Park Fare dinner, but we had to wait an hour past our reservation time because the system messed up and allowed too many guests to book (at least, that is what we were told) and the characters rushed through. Unsupervised children were sticking their hands in the food and running around the food area, which also made our experience less than spectacular. Similar for our experience with Tusker House lunch. Although we loved our Tusker House breakfast - it was relaxed, food was hot and plentiful, and the characters spent a lot of time with us, including a dance with the characters - Tusker House lunch was disappointing. Again, because the restaurant was too crowded, we had to wait for 20 minutes past our reservation time in the sweltering heat, the characters were rushed, no character dance, and the food seemed to disappear so quickly after being put out. We had difficulty even getting to the food because the restaurant was so crowded.

We had a great experience at Cape May because we had a late breakfast and the restaurant cleared out. The food was still fresh and plentiful, and the characters visited us twice.

Definitely Crystal Palace!!

Boma!!!! They have items for every taste and pickiness. I still dream about the hash and can't wait to have it again

Crystal Palace, Tusker, and Cape May are my faves.

 

[sharadoc]

I would have to say these are all great, EXCEPT for Chef Mickey. We have never liked anything we ate there.

If you want characters, then Tusker House (noisy and busy) or Cape May (much calmer) would be our first choice

No characters, Boma (lots of exotic choices), Trail's End (great and classic food) or the Wave (healthy options, whole grain)

We like 1900 Park Faire (Mad Hatter is worth the price!) and Crystal Palace, too.

Our favorite breakfast buffet is Cape May Cafe.

Boma, followed pretty closely by Trails End.

Crystal Palace and 1900 Park Fare are my two favorite breakfast buffets. Can't stay away from Strawberry Soup or Pooh's Puffed French Toast for too long

 

[Angeejoe]

Captains Grille @ YC has the best price breakfast buffet & also has a menu if some don't want a buffet. The buffet has almost the same items as Cape May (next door at BC), but no characters at Captians Grille.

Boma has a great buffet also

For the best food, I would say Trail's End. Great selection, and the price is much lower than all the others. For the full "Disney Experience", you can't beat Chef Mickey or Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is especially great if you get an early reservation before the park opens.

Breakfast buffets....Our favorites are:

(1) Crystal Palace. We love the omelet station and also the puffed French toast. Love that it's right in MK, so we can have a great breakfast and then be right in our park of choice for that day. Lastly, our kids do love the Pooh characters, and we love the environment inside CP.

(2) 1900 PF. Great breakfast food -- it has been a while since we've been there, but I remember my kids loving strawberry soup there. Wonder if that was breakfast or dinner, though. In any event, it has a comfortable atmosphere, great character mix, and great food. Only issue is that it's at a resort, so not necessarily the most convenient place to get to in the morning.

(3) Boma. Again, comfortable atmosphere and great food. But even less convenient to get to in the morning being that it's at a somewhat remote resort.

I know you only asked for buffets, but I just wanted to mention that Kona at Poly has a great breakfast. They have banana stuffed French toast which is very sweet but very tasty/unique!

What do you think is the best breakfast buffet?

We're extremely picky eaters and you can't really mess up waffles, biscuits, and sausage (possibly bacon after some of the reviews i've read!) We have a 1:50pm "brunch" ADR for Chef Mickey's, but i'm looking for other suggestions!

We are just back and did them ALL! We took our picky nieces and the 5 year old ate eggs, ketchup, bacon and watermelon at every meal. You will be fine with whatever you choose. Pick the menu that appeals to you or based on characters. My favorite food wise was 1900 Park Fare and also characters. They came at least 3 times. Feel free to ask away. I'm done with bacon for a month.

 

[mgentry210]

Just back and hopefully it was a one off day, but our prepark Crystal Palace was the worst. The character timing was off and the guy that was manning the omelet station had a serious love of cooking spray. Spray the grill, spray the bacon, spray the cheese???, spray the veggies. Yep. It was nasty!

Both Boma and 1900 had great omelette though

 

[beck00]

we love Crystal Palace!

Trail's End has a FANTASTIC breakfast buffet and it's far less expensive than the others but has tons of great options including pulled pork eggs Benedict (amazing), breakfast pizza, sticky pecan buns, even cute mason jars of guava-orange juice. The traditional offerings are great too, including Mickey Waffles. It's an easy boat ride from Magic Kingdom, and it's neat to see a bit of the Fort Wilderness resort which is a nice respite from the parks.

We once made a reservation for Trail's End right at opening time (we were staying at BLT and took the boat - great ride at 7:30am!). We were the ONLY guests in the place until about halfway through the meal, which is a really unique experience at Disney. Food was great, price was right, and terrific service because our server only had one table (ours).

Has anyone done the all you care to eat breakfast at Wilderness Lodge? It sounds like Ohana to me, but without the characters.

Another vote for Trail's End. Quiet, unique, tasty food (the pulled pork eggs benedict are addictive), excellent service, and the best value in the World. As for WCC at WL, I'm not a fan but many others love it.
