Hiya,
We really liked the clambake at Beach Club. There were a lot of choices and we didnt feel rushed either (and you don't have to like seafood - there are plenty of other offerings) The Breakfast buffet at the Beach club is also good with lots of character interaction as well.

As first timers, only returning two days ago, we haven't got lots of experience, but what we have is up to date. We did several several character meals, we had booked two, but did others because there was availability and to be honest it wasn't particulary expensive and you got a good meal.
The best by way of food, was Crystal Palace, lots of choice, from salads to hot food, great puddings and we weren't rushed, the table was cleared quickly, all soft drinks included with constant fill ups without asking. Characters were Pooh Bear, Eyeore, Piglet etc., and we weren't rushed. The cost in all around £30 for three of us (one 3 year old who ate well) and we thought it excllent value. The room was a little dissapointing, I was expecting something a bit more upmarket, but it was the best of the meals we had.
We were staying at the Beach Club and did the breakfast there and we were very disappointed. Characters were OK, although only Minnie, Goofy and Chip. The food was dried up and not really much of a choice to be honest. I am vegetarian and could only find eggs and waffles for me!
The service was slow, we had to ask for the table to be cleared, so we could go up again and I felt that once we had eaten, they didn't clear, so we would get the hint and go - we like to take our time in the mornings!
Personally I think lunches are a better deal and not much in the price really. We did a 2.00 lunch at CP and we were just over an hour and half, so, when we came out, the parade was just about to pass nearby, so it was excellent timing and hardly anyone in there either!
We actually had pre- booked two, one of which was the CP, didn't book the Beach Club, just went down for breakfast! We also went to one at Hollywood and Vine with Little Einstiens. We didn't book that one either and at a late lunch is was almost empty. We waited five minutes and had a table adjacent to the Buffet, which is a good spot as the characters all mingle and dance there. This was the livliest, but the venue was a bit cafe/basic, the food was good, service excellent. March maybe a little busier, but we were told during quiet times they always have availability as people often don't turn up, or change bookings.
I would suggest book one or two and then play it by ear, they don't take any credit card details, so if you change plans you are not charged and then if something else takes your fancy do that!
Have a lovely time.
Kate
