Sounds like a wonderful time. You sure did make the most of it! We are heading in November and I wanted to get your opinion on the best character breakfast from your recent trip.

Hmmm best one? Well, for DD it would have to be Ariels Grotto with all the Princesses. Having said that, it was a pretty quiet one. Not a lot of huge interaction with everyone or the room.

I think overall, Surfs Up! Breakfast with Mickey and Friends at Paradise Pier REALLY was a lot of fun with dances and activities for the kids and the characters. We met SO many of them too! The Host was excellent at bringing on the energy and magic. This was also convenient for us as we made reservations for here but in the end decided to make this our free day, not in the parks. We were still able to go by cutting through DTD

And Plaza Inn is right up there. Not in the way of music and activities, (or even the method of the buffet) but oh the characters! They had so much with everyone. Captain Hook, Winnie the Pooh, Chip and Dale, TIGGER! Eeyore, and the Fairy Godmother! The photobombing, the fun humour...it was awesome! Just very playful...all of them

The best compliment to any character meal was the Photopass+. WELL worth the price to order online prior to arrival.

Thank you for the input. We did Minnie in March and loved it. I wasn't sure if I should stick with it because it was so enjoyable or risk being disappointed by trying another option. I am sure DH would love Ariel's, but my 3 DS's would probably not. We've decided to give Mickey a try this time around and will def. be trying out the PhotoPass+ this trip.

Thanks again!
