breakfast Buffet - Wave or Chef Mickeys

[js]

Hi.

For an adult that doesnt care that Chef Mickeys is a character meal, would you choose Wave or Chef Mickeys for breakfast buffet?

I have DDP for one night and will choose between one although not sure if Wave takes DDP.

Thank you.

Never done CM, but have eaten at Wave 3x for bfast.
Thought it was good value for Disney.
Quite large selection.
Everything was very tasty.
Paid cash.

The Wave is very good.

It's also a quiet atmosphere. I go every trip. Love the cheese grits, eggs benedict, smoked salmon and almost everything!

Based on the great reviews I've seen on the boards, we are trying the Wave in September. We have DDP but we'll be paying OOP for it since we have too many TS ADRs. Plus I get my Disney Visa discount

Chef Mickey was good and a good use of a dining credit since it's about $40 per person just for breakfast. I've seen bad reviews on here but it was fine to us- just didn't think it was worth the money when paying OOP.

Definitely the Wave. At Chef Mickey's you are paying for the characters (and getting subpar food). The Wave is much better food at a good price.

If you don't care about the characters, The Wave. The food is much better and a quiet atmosphere to enjoy your meal. But I would pay OOP, using a DP credit for breakfast doesn't make sense since the buffet is only approx. $20.

The Wave will be much better as well as have healthier selections if you choose them.

I will be trying The Wave for breakfast for the first time next week, but I have done Chef Mickey and it was absolutely horrible. The food was way below buffet quality (and buffet quality is usually not all that great) and I thought the place was not very clean. Chef Mickey is at the top of my list for places to avoid.

DD (former CM) loved the Wave breakfast and always hear good reports. You couldn't pay me to go to Chef Mickeys.

I would do the Wave for any meal. It is one of the better, consistent and under rated restaurant's at WDW.
