Best Character Meals??

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

I would love help in deciding which Character Meals to reserve! I have up to 5 sit down meals and would like to make them all character. What should I try to get..they're booking up fast! This was a last minute planned trip and our first to WDW...oh...by the way...I have 4 year old triplet boys! thanks a ton!

We liked Crystal Palace for breakfast, Chef Mickey's for dinner, Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast, and Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner. We enjoyed the food at all of these and the character interaction was not rushed at any of them but CRT. We actually saw the characters (Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale) twice when we were at LTT.

Here are some options:

Crystal Palace (B,L, D- MK) with Pooh & Friends
Liberty Tree Tavern (D- MK) with Minnie, Goofy, Pluto (we also had Chip & Dale)
Garden Grill (L, D- EPCOT) with Farmers Mickey, Pluto, Chip & Dale
Hollywood & Vine (B, L- Studios) with JoJo's Circus and Little Einsteins
Donald's Breakfast (B- AK) with Donald, Mickey, Goofy and Pluto
Cape May (B- Beach Club resort) with Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale
Chef Mickey's (B, D- Contemporary Resort) with Mickey, Chip, Dale, and Goofy
Ohanas Breakfast (B- Polynesian) with Lilo, Stitch, Pluto, and Goofy
Mickey's Backyard BBQ (D- Ft. Wilderness) with guess who??


As you can see, a lot of the same characters appear at different places. I would go with Liberty Tree Tavern, Hollywood & Vine (if they like those characters, the food is okay) and Chef Mickey's. Ohanas is great if they like Lilo and Stich.

I know you want all character meals, but a place like SciFi (Studios) would be fun for the kids (they get to eat in a car!) or Whispering Canyon Cafe (Wilderness Lodge). That is a hoot- just don't forget to ask for ketchup! Kids also like the Hoop De Doo at Ft. Wilderness- it's a dinner and corny/hilarious show).

1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian has an excellent buffet dinner! The food is fantastic. Kids get to spend time with Cinderella, Prince Charming, Suzy, Perla and Fairy Godmother.

Dinner buffet at Chef Mickey's (Contemporary)...food is not that great but the food at the breakfast buffet is wonderful. Great interaction w/characters: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy

Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at Ohanas (Polynesian) is great, too. Food is wonderful and served family style (all you can eat right at the table). Kids got to see Lilo, Stitch, Mickey Mouse, Pluto.

Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom also has a great dinner buffet. Characters there are Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet.

'Ohana's at the Polynesian is great for breakfast in my opinion. Its so different from all the other breakfasts. Its not a buffett, its family style, so you just get to sit and relax at your table. I feel as though its slightly quieter than the other character meals. But at the same time they have a great little parade that they do with the kids and characters.
LTT in the Magic Kingdom is phenomenal. It is the best character interaction I've ever had. Pluto and Chip & Dale came around twice, Goofy and Minnie came around three times.
I loved the food as well. Mmmmm turkey, ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, oh yeah I could get used to that. And apple cobbler for dessert!
