You will hear a lot of different opinions on this one. My favorites are Chef Mickeys for dinner....I'm not a big breakfast fan.... and dinner at LTT. Have fun!!!!!

Chef Mickey's for breakfast or dinner and Crystal Palace for breakfast, lunch or dinner are our favorites. Liberty Tree was ok, we liked the buffet better, much wider selection.

Chef Mickey's for dinner. LTT is great too!

We had character dinner at CRT (Cinderella on the first floor only), breakfast at 1900 park fare (Mary Poppins and Alice and friends) and Chef Mickey (Mickey, goofy, Minnie and more). Loved them all.

We like Chef Mickey's for breakfast - actuallly, we book later in the morning (11 AM this time) so it serves as brunch. There is a TON of great food and character interaction. My kids love it and it is cost-effective.

3 teenagers....I'd definitely go with a buffet

I would say Crystal Palace for Breakfast
Park Fare for Breakfast
Chef Mickey's for Breakfast or Dinner
Liberty Tree Tavern for Dinner

We never miss CP for lunch the food is great and a great value. (Now if you're on the dining plan then do dinner.)

We also always to Chef Mickey's for a late breakfast; we too use it as brunch and only eat twice that day.

I've been to 1900 Park Fair: the food is lovely, but I was very disappointed in the space. We were seated in a hallway that they apparently added as a seating area when the meal became too popular for the relatively small dining room. For the money, they shouldn't be seating anyone in a corridor.

LTT is okay, stick to your ribs Sunday dinner food.

If you're going to spend a day in Epcot, I would suggest the Garden Grill.
It's buffet-style (they bring the food to you), character dining, and the restaurant rotates slowly (you get to see "Living with the Land" attraction at certain points). It's a really great atmosphere, and the food is AMAZING!

In the Magic Kingdom, I reccommend the Liberty Tree Tavern. Character dining is only for dinner, and since I have only been there for lunch (when it's regular table service) I can only comment on how great the food is. But, they serve the same food in the evening in buffet style (similar to how the Garden Grill works). The Turkey is to-die-for!

Enjoy your trip!

We really enjoyed LTT for dinner. Both the food and character interaction were very good!

What characters does the 6 year old like? Is she into princesses? THen I would plan one princess meal for her (CRT, Norway Breakfast, or 1900 Park Fare Dinner). Sorry to go against the grain here and confuse you further, but we thought LTT was a huge rip off. $28 a head for sliced lunch meats (Turkey, ham, and roast beef) with stove top stuffing and Stouffers mac&cheese. We found the characters there to be the most rushed.

We had breakfast at 1900 Park Fare last week it had a nice mix of characters (Mary Poppins, Alice, Mad Hatter, Pooh and Tiggger) The character gave us lots of attention.

We loved LTT and CP. Chef Mickey's is ok, but the teens won't like it as well as the 6yo. We are trying Garden Grill this year and the Disney Cast Member that took my ressie said it was the best.

My favorite must-dine character meal is at the Crystal Palace. I have always had excellent food and service there.
