Breakfast - Hollywood & Vine vs Crystal Palace and Tusker

[dskib]

How do they compare? I have ressies at CP and TH for character breakfasts and I'm torn. I REALLY want to do CP and TH because I've heard they're great and I want to be in the parks before they open. The thing is, the Pooh characters do nothing for me, and my little guy would LOVE the characters at H&V. But I've heard that the breakfast isn't as good as the others.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Tusker House hands down. The food is better and the classic charactors are great. Plus you come out right by the safari entrance so you get on the first truck.

Tusker House is great! They have a parade and the kids get to follow the characters around with musical instruments. My two year old loved it last year. Plus since she was younger, the characters usually took her hand to led her around.

This year we are doing character breakfasts most mornings - we have reservations for Crystal Palace (love it!), Hollywood & Vine (first time), Cinderella's Royal Table (my daughter & I can't wait), Tusker House, Chef Mickey's (the characters are great), Akerhaus at Norway (we loved this too), and 1900 Park Fare (first time).

I have our breakfasts booked for before the park opens that day. We can't wait until November!

Tusker House is the best breakfast on property. Hands down. You won't regret it.

I actually just returned about 2 weeks ago and ate at Tusker House and Crystal Palace. I thought the food, atmosphere and character interaction were MUCH better at Crystal Palace than Tusker House. Tusker wasn't bad just not as well organized and we had to wait 30 minutes with a ADR. Maybe I just hit Tusker on a bad day.

Wow - have you been there lately? We used to LOVE Crystal Palace and made sure to stop there on every visit but the last three times it has been a big disappointment. They have morphed into just another venue for the same bland, warmed over food served at most Disney restaurants on a pitiful buffet with a few characters walking around. No more - its off our list.

Tusker House-2 words...Guava Juice

The food was really good too. I wish I'd been hungrier, especially for those potatoes.

My daughter enjoyed the parade too. My son wasn't walking then, so I'm hoping he can join her on the next trip.
