Character Meal Suggestions

[bluebell29]

We are going for 5 nights on the DDP with a 5 year old and two 2 year olds (all girls). When we went this past year, we did a character meal for every TS and it was absolutely the highlight of the trip!

So, any suggestions? We will definitely do Akershus Princess Breakfast and Chef Mickey's because we are staying in the Contemporary. We also really enjoyed the Pooh lunch at Crystal Palace, Cinderella dinner at 1900 Park Fare at the GF, and the Donald Breakfast at Tusker House. That would be our 5 TS right there, but I feel like it is the same thing as last year (just switched out Hollywood & VIne for Chef Mickey's). What about O'hana?

Anyway, your input is appreciated!

We've never tried O'Hana, but just ate at the Garden Grill and loved the food. Mickey came to our table multiple times.

My girls really enjoyed the Mary Poppins breakfast at the GF. It was Mary, Mad Hatter, Alice, Tigger and Pooh. The breakfast was delish!

I second the Garden Grill! My kids LOVED it! The food was okay, but the kids REALLY enjoyed the characters and how the restaurant moved. I posted pics of our experience in this thread:

Definitely do Crystal Palace! Go there everytime, it is a must do for us!! And I was going to recommend Akershus too but you have that one covered

I prefer the 'Ohana breakfast to Chef Mickey's. It's just a matter of personal preference. I would rather have a family-style meal than most buffets. Honestly, I think the food at Chef Mickey's is a bit gross.

Otherwise, I like your selections. Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House is my absolute favorite!

We did 6 character breakfasts and Garden Grill for Dinner on our trip in December (2.5 and 6 year old girls). Tusker House was our favorite, followed by the Princess Breakfast at Epcot (our 2nd trip there) tied with Ohana. Crystal Palace came next with Hollywood and Vine running 5th. Chef Mickey's was our least favorite breakfast. We also had Garden Grill for the 2nd time and we will not go back to it. If you like fish, give it a try, but other than the meat, we didn't care for it much. We do love Chip and Dale though!

we have done garden grill and it was fun. Ohanas is really good too. It's not character for dinner but it is interactive. The kids really enjoyed it and so did we the food is great !!
