Best Character Breakfast

[kabbie]

I get a free character breakfast with my package and was wondering which is the best. I've been to Chef Mickey's at WDW---is Goofy's Kitchen's similar?

I believe most people here really like Goofy Kitchen and perhaps a close 2nd would be Minnie & Friends at the Plaza Inn (inside DL). I have also heard raves about Storytellers (at GC) and Lilo & Stich at PP. I think GK might win out because the most people have done that one.

FWIW:
Upside to Minnie's - You can eat there without leaving the park
Downside to Minnie's - You must "waste" valuable park time eating when you could be going on rides!!!

I voted Lilo and Stitch. However, Goofy's is my favorite but I prefer dinner there. I have been to all four and here is my pros/cons of each:

Storytellers: Pros: Low key, lovely atmospere, really good food. YOu can order off the menu if you prefer to not do the buffet. It won't save you money but you won't have to stand in line for your food. Cons: not many characters, if you don't like Brother Bear this one is a waste character wise.

Minnie and Friends: Pros: nice variety of characters, right inside the park which is very convenient, pretty, fun setting. Cons: You can only go when the park is open. If that's 10:00 then you can waste a good chunk of your morning with this one. By doing one of the hotel breakfasts, you can go earlier and still be in the park by 10:00. It can sometimes be very hectic in there, with lots of backup at the food lines.

Goofy's: Pros: Nice assortment of characters, including at least one princess, good food, very lively and fun. Cons: Can be loud and sometimes too hectic. I believe its also the most expensive of them all.

Lilo and Stitch: Pros: Really good food with some unique choices (polynesian themed selections), characters play lots of games, characters are in Hawaiin garb. You can order off the menu on this one if the buffet does not interest you. Cons: Unless you are staying at Paradise Pier it is the least conveniently located of them all, some people are disappointed the characters aren't in their traditional garb. Our last visit there some poor little girl cried and cried because Minnie was not in her polka dot dress!

This is all just based on my experiences. I have done them all multiple times except Storytellers which I only did once. Probably the best bet is to pick the one that has the characters you want to see the most since thats what character meals are really about!

We like to do the Plaza Inn breakfast after an Early Entry morning. We grab a snack in the room while getting ready early in the am, go to the park and ride all the Fantasyland rides and then when the lines are getting long and the park has opened for everyone, we take a brake and go to breakfast! The food is okay but....

We really love Goofy's for dinner. It is a nice break to have an early dinner, around 5 and I love the dinner food much better than the breakfast foods. My DH likes it because they have a full bar-lol. We usually stay at DLH so when it is warm, the kids hit the pool, relax a little and then go have dinner. After dinner, we go back to the park for the fireworks and fantasmic!

Your welcome, I am bored tonight, dh and ds are at a hockey game so here I sit typing my long winded answers! Best FOOD for breakfast: Storytellers. Dinner, Goofy's. Now thats my opinion only, just based on my tastebuds! And come to think of it, Goofy's is the only dinner for characters besides Ariel's. So for dinner the competition isn't too stiff!
