Dougie, we will be leaving in two weeks and I have the vouchers for the character breakfast in front of me. You have a choice of Restaurantosaurus in Animal Kingdom, the Garden Grill Restaurant in Epcot, Hollywood & Vine in Disney-MGM Studios or 'Ohana at the Polynesian Resort. I have booked a priority seating for Restaurantosaurus at Animal Kingdom, since friends of ours ate there with their kids in the fall and came back raving about how good it was and how much fun their kids had - our girls are big Donald Duck fans and since he's one of the main characters there that clinched it for us! Unfortunately, I haven't eaten at any of the other places but perhaps others on the boards have and could recommend them. Good luck with your selection process and have a great trip...

We will be purchasing the CDN deal 7 day HP in about one month for April trip. You said Ohana CHARACTER BREAKFAST is an option? That's the first I heard of it and I am THRILLED about it! It is the character breakfast right? See, we did Donalds and liked it, the only other character breakfast I thought was an option was H&V at MGM and I thought GG at Epcot cancelled. I have PS for H&V and POLY OHANA CHAR BREAKFAST. I only picked H&V for the lack of options but I will cancel H&V to pay for POLY and get PS for Donalds and surprise my kids! They liked Donalds a lot. COOL!

We just got back from WDW and these are the choices: Restaurantosaurus at AK, Hollywood & Vine at the Studios or O'hana at the Polynesian Resort. The Garden Grill in Epcot is listed but they no longer serve breakfast. They are all character breakfasts. We chose Hollywood & Vine because we had been to O'hana and the Restaurantosaurus didn't seem to thrill our family. We weren't expecting much but we were very surprised by the breakfast. We made our PS for 8:30 (so as not to use much park time). Because we were the first group, we had some great character interaction. Goofy, Chip, Dale (dressed in 1940's hollywood attire) and Pluto were going table to table. Minnie, dressed in a gorgeous fancy dress stayed at the door for photos and autographs. Minnie and Goofy aslo did a short dance number every hour or so. The food at the buffet was good. We felt the whole experience at H&V was wonderful. And getting the breakfast included with the passes was a great added bonus. (note that tip is included with the breakfast voucher) We haven't had breakfast at the other two places, so I can't give you a fair comparison to the H&V.

We are just back, and used our "free" character breakfast for H&V. I'd heard not so good reports about O'Hanas, and Garden Grille is no longer open for breakfast. We booked a PS for 11am. This was good for us, as we had free breakfast at our hotel (HIFS), so H&V was more like lunch. And, infact, halfway thru our breakfast, the buffet opened for lunch, so we has a whole new buffet to choose from...Bonus!! The 11am time also gave the kids (and I) some time to hit Rock and Rollercoaster, and Tower of Terror a few times each before the meal. The character interaction was GREAT!! especially because the restaurant wasn't busy at this time. At one point, they do a dance near the ice cream station.....Goofy grabbed me from the audience, and I danced with him for quite a while....what a hoot!! I'd recommend H&V.
