Best Character breakfast for 4 & 10 year old boys?

[Mom2k&a]

Wow, I have a short amount of time to pull this trip together. My family is planning a trip to Disney November 13th - 18th. Our two sons are 10 and 4 and we have a baby on the way. This is a farewell to the family of 4 trip. We went to disney before our second son was born as a special treat to our then 5 year old. I'm so excited I can't sleep.

Anyway, this is the first trip for my 4 year old and I want to pick just the right Character meal. He loves sleeping beauty, let me rephrase that, he loves Prince Phillip and Malificant (sp) from Sleeping beauty and of course all the other standard, buzz, woody, mickey, etc. If someone knows of the perfect character meal I would love to hear about it.

Thanks!

As far as character line-ups go, I would recommend either Chef Mickey's at the Comtemporary Resort (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip, and Dale are usually there for breakfast) or Donald's Breakfastasaurus at Animal Kingdom (Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto show up here).

We went in June with DS4 and DS10. They LOVED Chef Mickey's! DS4 celebrated his birthday there.

We have ressie for Breakfastsourus in AK for Monday, Sept 5. We have DS8 and DS3...I will try and report back on how it is.

We picked it b/c it has Goofy, which is my DS8 favorite - it will also allow us into the park (for breakfast) at 8am and the park opens atl 9am...so I am thinking that is a good thing!

i vote for chef mickey's as well. they have a good variety of characters, and because of the way the restaurant is set up physicaly (circular with only one entrance/exit) i am not worried that my younger child will manage to escape from my sight or out the door . the place has a good variety of foods for all ages, and an added advantage is that the location (at contemporary hotel) is a monorail stop (so if you like you can jump on and go straight to the magic kingdom).

My boys loved both

I just had to reply my almost 5 y.o. saw sleeping beauty at 3.5 y.o. and since then has watched the movie over,over, and over again! He loves sleeping beauty too! However, he won't watch Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, or the Little Mermaid because ... they are TOO GIRLY! Too funny - I thought I was the only one out here with a male fan of sleeping beauty! He Loves the dragon, prince Stephen and Malicifent!

As for your post - We have not done a character meal but we will be there around the same time Nov 10 - 17 and we are going to do Chef Mickey's breakfast. I wish they had a toy story, hero, incredibles character meal but I think Chef Mickey's will be fun. it waqs a toss up between CM and Donald's but the contemporary and the monorail won out!
Edited to say - I have 2 boys 8 y.o. and 5 y.o. at the time of the trip!

I've done both Chef Mickey's and Breakfastasurus... You get more character interaction at Chef Mickeys unless you have a late breakfast at DAK other wise the characters are there for a few brief moments it gets very busy there... I've always found chef mickeys to be more fun with a better selection of food...
Don't forget to see Fantasmic your son will LOVE it! No Prince Phillip but dragon and Malicifent.

Wasn't there some talk of creating a more "boy friendly" character breakfast...along the lines of the old one that had the "villians" that Disney decided was "too scary"? Where is Buzz & Woody, Mr. Incredible, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, etc...?

My DS (5) loved going to Cinderella's castle... and seeing the Princesses. Just the experience of the castle was enough for him... the beautiful women were a bonus!

He did enjoy AK's breakfastsauras (sp) as well... still talks about Donald getting mad at him for asking him... "Where's Mickey"... now you KNOW the Donald didn't like that!
