Best family character breakfast

[rg35]

I sound like a broken record but I really can't emphasize enough how great the Mad Hatter is.

NOTE: Overall, Tusker House wins due to best food and the length of time the characters stay at each table. A close second is 1900 Park Fare. By far, Chef Mickey's is the loser, due to mediocre character interaction and almost terrible food quality. The very distant second worst is Cinderella Royal Table, for brief time at tables by characters and the new menu. For non-character breakfast buffets, we prefer The Wave (CR) or Trail's End (FW).

We really like Crystal Palace a lot for breakfast. Lots if food options (even for the picky) and all the Pooh characters !

We liked Garden Grill. Ohana is okay as well. I hear Tusker House is good but haven't done if for breakfast.

If you can get a PPO Garden Grill, it will be less crowded, food comes fast, and you can walk downstairs just before nine to be on first Soarin flight. We try to get to the check-in as close to 8 as we can and usually see all the characters twice. Interaction is great and the food is really good here. We never do a trip without a Garden Grill breakfast.
