Character Meal - I want to know your favorite one!

[cuchu2005]

Hi, everyone!

Last year we did CRT (Breakfast) and had a great time. My DD (2 years at that time) also had a blast.

This year, we are going back to WDW , and we wanted to do a Character Meal again. We were thinking on repeating CRT, but go for the lunch option.

But, I'd hate missing some other good Character Dining choice. I'd like to have only one ADR, so times will be much more easy to handle.

I know that she'll love having lunch among the princesses , as she is very into them, but I'm all ears for other recommendations you'd like to make.

Thank you ,

Mx

We had the best time with Cinderella, prince charmnig, the step mother and sisters. Food not bad also.

I love Chef Mickeys and Crystal Palace. I prefer breakfast at both. So good!

Cape May!

It's so hard to just pick one!

I thought Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House in AK was really good. It had some different items and your regular breakfast food.

It is also the only character meal that Daisy is at.


The princesses are also at Akershus in Epcot. They also have the photo package. If you were to book two breakfasts instead of a CRT lunch it would only cost a bit more.

For us (dh, me, dd was 5 and ds was 8) it is 1900 Park Fare dinner w/ Cinderella, PC, and especially the stepmother and stepsisters. They were hilarious. WE weren't able to get into it this last trip and we were all sad and missed it. We've also done Chef Mickey, Norway, and CRT and all were nice but 1900 Park fare was the favorite by far!

I had my B-day at Crystal Palace a couple of years ago and had a great time!

We do Chef Mickey's for dinner on every trip.

My dd is very into the princess as well. Still yet, on both trips (once when she was 3 and once when she was 5) her favorite restaurant was Chef Mickey's. On both trips we also went to CRT and Akershus as well. Still, Chef Mickey's is the one she keeps talking about.

Crystal Palace. The Breakfast. Get there as early as you can!!!!! I mean who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh?

 

[WVParkfan]

Chef Mickey's was the most fun of all of the character dining we've done. The "towel twirl" can't be missed!

CRT was great (fun being in the castle), but we found that there was more interaction with the Princesses at Akershus at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot.

We've only been to two, but our favorite so far is Tusker House. We had the best time and didn't feel rushed at all.

CRYSTAL PALACE! not just the best character meal but the best meal in disney!

 

[davidmolliesmum]

we've only done tusker house which was FAB!!!
i want to do something different this year, one that would suit a boy and girl!? i'm thinking chef mickeys.... is that the one in contemporary??

 

[MelanieC]

I like Crystal Palace and 1900 Park Fare.

Yes, CM's is in the Contemporary. That was a great meal - we went our arrival night. You might also want to look into Ohana, Crystal Palace, or Garden Grill (do they still have characters?) - they're gender neutral meals. There are probably others I'm forgetting.

OP - another vote for Tusker House. Wonderful food, great characters, and we also didn't feel rushed.

 

[MinniesYooHoo]

I've done all save for Akershus, and I must say it's a tie between 1900 Park Fare, and Chef Mickeys. The character intraction, atmosphere, and food are all GREAT. I know it can be a daunting decision, but just find out which characters DD would love to hang around with the most, and choose from there. Have fun!!!!

CRYSTAL PALACE all the way. We have eaten at CP, Ohana's, Chef Mickey, Tusker House, Cinderella's Royal Table and the old Breakfastasauraus. I have to say CP is our must do every trip. We have only missed it once and that was in 2002 because the restaruant was closed for refurb.
