I have 3 teens, but I thought it might be kind of cute to do one character meal. Which one do you think is the best, has the best food and where the most characters show up.

Ok...maybe I want to do a character meal!
 
I think the most characters are at Chef Mickeys. Dinner or breakfast are both buffet. It is very fun there and you can't help but smile. I also love Liberty Tree Tavern. There are fewer characters but still fun. Thanksgiving type food served family style.

At Chef Mickeys: Mickey, minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale and Donald
At Liberty Tree Tavern: Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, and Dale

Hope this helps!! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2
 
I second the Chef Mickey's!!! If you are only doing one Character Meal-- This is THE ONE!!! We Loved it! Plan on doing Breakfast and Dinner there on our next trip!! :thumbsup2
 
We liked Chef Mickey's better than Liberty Tree. I thought the character interaction at Chef Mickey's was awesome (especially Minnie Mouse). Crystal Palace is also one of our favorites, but it is only the 4 main Pooh characters (Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet). I guess it really depends on what their favorite characters are. I'd lean towards Chef Mickey's. Trying to get to Mickey Mouse in one of the parks can take a very long time. At Chef Mickey's you'll have him for a few minutes and you get food in between all the characters (Goofy, Mickey, Chip, Dale, & Minnie and also either Donald or Pluto) (we saw Donald at dinner and Pluto at breakfast, I don't know if that is the regular rotation though)
 

I also agree. Chef Mickey's was our FAVORITE meal while there in September! Lots of fun waving those napkins around!
 
Another vote for Chef Mickeys. It's loud and fun (some of the other character dinners are more reserved). The food is pretty good too. I think teenagers might have more fun hanging w/ Mickey than some of the other Disney characters. Plus, if they've never been in the Contemporary, they might think its cool to see the monorail go through.
 
I love Chef Mickey's and Liberty Tree Tavern. However, I can see teens having a really fun time at Chef Mickey's, its very lively and so much fun!

Another CM's vote!!! It has all the main traditional characters in their cute chef attire. We've always have had a fun time here. We just went a few weeks ago and the family next to us just consisted of mom and dad and their two teens. The teens posed for pictures and I think had a fun time. :)
 
Garden Cafe, at EPCOT. It's a little more teen-ager friendly because every table is surrounded by nice big booths. Make them feel less embarrased by getting excited to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale (just don't call Chip "Dale", he'll smack you).
 
I went to LTT, CP, and CRT last year. I liked them all. But if I had to pick one to go to, it would be either CM or CP. They are both fun, and I LOVE the potatoes at CP.
 
If we booked a reservation late morning say 11:15 is it still as fun and are the characters still around?
 
If you want to do a breakfast, I would pick Chef Mickey's. If you want to do a lunch, I would agree with the Garden Grill. The food has been great at both of them when we went.
 
Chef Mickey, we did not care for Liberty Tree Tavern food and our favorite character meal is Chef Mickey, the atmosphere is fun

If you're looking for a nice character meal with the best food try breakfast at 1900 Park Fair characters are Alice In Wonderland, Mad Hatter, Pooh, Tigger and Mary Poppins.
 
DD17 and I did the Princess Storybook Dinner in Norway at EPCOT back in October. We saw Snow White, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, and Sleeping Beauty. It was great and they even asked to take pictures with the big kid (ME!) We had a ball.

We are planning to do 1900 Park Fare on our May--Graduation trip. Can't wait for that one. DD loves Alice and the Gang and I'm a HUGE Mary Poppins fan!
 
We did Cinderella's Royal Table for breakfast the first day of our trip. It was great. The perfect way to start our visit!

We also did the Pooh and Friends buffet at the Crystal Palace. Not only was the food fantastic, but the kids loved the "parade" through the restaurant.

I don't think you can go wrong with any character meal you choose.

Sure. If there are characters at breakfast, they will stay out the whole time so you wouldn't miss them. And the character dinings are fun no matter what time you go!
 
I think I'm going to Chef Mickey's! Thanks for all you advice. This sounds like fun!
 
Chef mickey's the best but alittle loud for a more relaxed one try Cape May at the beach club :)
