Goofy's Kitchen or Chip n' Dale Bfast

[iLUVdisneyLAND]

Which one would you do? We are staying at the GCH, so just for ease, I am leaning towards Chip n' Dale...But we have never walked around DLH, and I am not sure if we would really make it over there otherwise. But more importantly, which character interaction and food is better? My husband and I try to eat low glycemic, so we are looking for more egg/oatmeal options, rather than pancakes and sticky buns.


Thoughts?

Thanks!!!

There are more character interactions at Goofy's, and probably more food choices.

But I wouldn't do a character breakfast. I like to spend the mornings in the park. Ariels in DCA and Goofy's both have character dinners.

Thanks for the info. We are there Tues- Sunday and most of the days even with MM on Thursday, the park isn't open until 9am or 10 am. Our daughter wakes up at 6:30-7am...so I was thinking one character bfast would be good until we can hit the park opening.

We have done both although it has been more than a year since we tried either. Goofy's Kitchen will most likely have more characters and more familiar characters than the Chip and Dale breakfast which mostly had "woodland" creatures like Brother Bear, Baloo, and Chip and Dale, as well as a "park ranger". If your daughter is familiar with Disney characters and expects to see familiar faces like Goofy, Minnie, Alice in Wonderland characters, or a princess or two, you would do better at Goofy's kitchen. If specific characters don't matter so much and convenience is more important, then stick with Storytellers. I remember the food being fine at both, but people who have been most recently could probably give the most up-to-date opinions on food quality and quantity.

I personally love GK and think it is an experience not to be missed. The character interaction was really great and they definitely kept the kids entertained. I've never been to Storyteller's but I heard it is very laid back there. Would your daughter prefer something with lots of activities or something more quiet?

Never done the Storyteller's character breakfast, but have eaten at Goofy's Kitchen ever since it was in its old location, a long, long time ago! GK is a definite must-do. Also, they have an omelet station (where you pick out what you want in an omelet & the chef makes it right there in front of you). You may even find a Hidden Mickey in your omelet, if you have olives in it...pretty cool

Thanks everyone! I think we are going to do Goofy's! My daughter loves all the classic charecters...plus, we will get to see the DLH!

Can't wait to look for a hidden mickey in my omelet!!

Yay! Have fun on your trip! Hope the chef hides a Mickey in your omelet! The first time I found one I thought it was a coincidence; when it happened a couple of other times...well...there's a reason it costs so much to eat at GK...because magic ain't cheap!

We have eaten breakfast at both Storytellers and GK twice in the last year. The more traditional characters are certainly at GK and the pace is a bit more hectic, but it is lots of fun - my 5yo Disney fanatic DD LOVES it! I have to say though, the food at Storytellers seemed healthier to my DH and I. If you are looking for healthier options, Storytellers would be a great choice. They had a wonderful egg white veggie scramble on the buffet, delicious grilled asparagus as well as other healthful choices. For a breakfast buffet at any Disney property (DL or WDW), it is my favorite because it is easy to eat healthy but get great yummy food at the same time!

Either way, you'll have a wonderful time!!!

Dont forget the mickey buffet at paradise pier - it wasnt there last time but it is now and we are excited to have breakfast with Mickey up close.

We enjoy GK but skipping this time.

Signed up for ST but like the Mickey Idea better...

enjoy!

I recently asked my DD where she would like to eat when we visit DLR next *she doesn't know about her B~day trip* when we talked about character meals *I said pick two* she told me Ariel's & Storytellers *Chip & Dale* ~ the "animals" rub her head and make her hair static-y, which she loves for soem reason ~ she and I can split a meal from the menu, so that's a fairly good deal and means no buffet to deal with. We've been to all the character meals except for the new Mickey one ~ but we did go there when it was Lilo & Stitch. During our most recent visit we had dinner @ Goofy's and a late breakfast @ Storytellers.

There are several breakfasts you can choose from:

Minnies at Plaza Inn-
weekdays it's pretty laid back. lots of characters, most of the traditional characters (but no Mickey here). and often some surprise characters that are less traditional. there is a dancebreak that lasts about 3 minutes once an hour, but it is otherwise pretty laid back. it's just a laid back dance in your chairs or in the aisle with a character.

PCH Grill at Paradise Pier-
practically always empty. all traditional characters. this one has more activity as there are several activity moments, including a stitch surfing lesson and "stitch says", and a dancing lesson. so while there are less people in that big space, it's got more structured entertainment for sure. a live person narrates through the activities to help get guests excited to play.

Storytellers-
Non-traditional characters; koda, kenai, chip and dale, "woodland" creatures. this is more structured than Minnies, but much less structured than Paradise Pier. tends to be fairly empty for breakfast on weekdays.

Goofys-
sadly, never been there, except once, and it was abundantly full and crazy, but i'm sure fun was involved!

Ariels-
wasn't aware there was a breakfast here, so I have no idea.
