McDonald's Restaurantosaurus

[Tottwo]

My DH and I are going to WDW Dec 16th through the 19th. We are considering going to the character breakfast at Animal Kingdom because DH loves Donald Duck. I can't seem to find any comments about what is served for breakfast and I'm concerned it will be typical McDonald's fare. We are two adults with no kids. I have a few questions - what is served there and how is it? And, does Donald really show up for this character meal? Does he show up to any other character meals that we might want to consider?

Thanks so much!

Breakfast is not McDonalds (that starts for lunch/dinner). It is a typical buffet breakfast (and quite good in our experience). Here is a quick run down of some of the options they have:

Breads: Croissants and Bagels, Assorted freshly-made Donuts and Sweet Breads

Main Dishes: Pancakes with assorted toppings, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon
Sausage, Dino Hash, Breakfast Potatoes, French Toast, Fresh Fruit (seasonal)

Beverages: Orange juice, Coffee, Tea, Milk, Chocolate Milk, Soda

Of course there is more avalaible, that is just a quick menu...but again it is typical Disney Breakfast, not McDonalds

And yes Donald Duck is always there... The other characters are subject to change, but being Donald's Breakfast he kinda has to be there...

Thank you for your replies! This has helped a lot. Breakfast sounds very good. And my DH will be very happy that Donald will be there!

We don't have a lot of experience with character meals - we've only done 1900 Park Fare, Chef Mickey's and Liberty Tree Tavern and loved them. After reading your comments, we are really looking forward to doing this one.

Best french toast in the World, imho.

My kids love this meal, I think it's ok. The food is good, the character interaction is good and the atmosphere is fun. I just have a hard time paying the bill, especially when my daughter only has 1 Krispy Kreme and a chocolate milk. All in all, this is probably a meal we will repeat because it's fun and it's one of the favs of the kids.
