Help Me Choose a Character Breakfast!

[elvispursley]

Ok--I am in desperate need of advice for choosing a character breakfast and my booking window opens tomorrow! We're staying at OKW and the make-up of our party are me (late 40s), my mom (early 70s), cousin (late 40s), cousin's DS (13), cousins DD (7). My mom and I take frequent visits to WDW but this is my cousin's 2nd time in the last 20 years and her kids' first visit. She really only wants to do one character breakfast during our 6-day stay. Would like to do it on our 2nd MK day (planning to sleep in a little since we're doing MNSSHP the day before). I'm debating between the following:
1900 Park Fare--really liked the food when we did BF last year)
'Ohana--meh food but really liked the characters
Chef Mickey's--haven't done this buffet in over 18 years and all I remember was meh food and really, really loud!
Crystal Palace--haven't done this buffet in many, many years.

What would you choose for a 13-yo boy and 7-yo girl?

Unless there's a love of Pooh, I'd skip Crystal Palace.

With a 13 year old boy, I'd either do the Fab Five at Chef Mickeys or Stitch at Ohana.

I don't remember who the characters are at Park Fare now....

If I had to pick one of those 4 I'd probably go Park Fare simply for the food. Character wise and ambience for a family gathering I'd probably go 'Ohana

Crystal Palace if you schedule it for later part of breakfast then you can also get the lunch items as they switch over. Also churro Mickey waffles.

If you doing AK, I would recommend Tusker House breakfast instead of MK character dining. Topolino’s breakfast at Riviera is also very good. Better for a Epcot or HS day because you can pop over on the Skyliner.

I think the food is equally mediocre at all of them. Any chance you can ask the kids if they have a preference?
