Chef Mickey or Once Upon a Time - Which one?

[firstcruiser]

We will probably only have time for one breakfast. Should we choose Chef Mickey or Once Upon a Time?

We've been to both. I think it depends on who's going. Most girls would love to have breakfast in Cinderella's castle. Priorty seating is very difficult to get by the way. Make sure you follow instructions found on the boards or most unofficial disney books. The first year we weren't able to get in. Last year we finally did.

Chef Mickey is the only place where you'll find Minnie and Mickey together - unless they've changed things. Honestly we weren't all that impressed with Chef Mickey.

We really enjoyed Park Fare at the Grand Floridian, but no Mickey or princesses there.

If you can do lunch or dinner, I highly recommend the Crystal Palace - Winnie the Pooh and friends are the characters there.

Good luck deciding.

We enjoyed Chef Mickey in June with my 2yr old grandson. The food was good and the interaction with the characters was great.

Weve been to Chef Mickeys a few times now and its always wonderful. Even after trying a couple other character breakfasts, including Cindys, Mickeys remains our favorite. There is a wide variety of food which is always delicious and the character interaction is very good. We always have the best interaction with Goofy. The characters are usually Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip, Dale, and Goofy(he stays at the entrance, he doesnt make the rounds).

On the other hand, at Cindys you get to eat in the castle, and if your kids are big on the princesses, seeing them all would be huge for them. And I really enjoy the food there too...although not as wide a variety as Chef Mickeys.

We too have been to both and Chef Mickey's hands down! Cinderella's was great but the food is pre-plated and CM's is buffet. Both have great character intervention.

Enjoy either one!!

The dinner at 1900 Park Fare does have a princess! Cinderella and Prince Charming are your hosts for the Gala Feast. We have eaten breakfast several times at Cinderella's Castle but I think the dinner at Park Fare was much more enjoyable. No, there aren't as many princesses, but the food and the Prince more than made up for that. The atmosphere is very relaxed and we thought the food was quite good for a buffet. The Storybook Breakfast at Norway is another option for dining with princesses. The character interaction at both princess breakfast are good but I always feel like the characters and wait staff are in a rush.
