My ADR's. Seeking opinions from experts...continued.

[Disney Padawan]

Hello everyone.

If you've read my first thread then you already know my ADR schedule. If you haven't, then please pay it a visit because I'd love to hear some suggestions.

OK, now for this thread. I'm visiting WDW with my DGF who's never been, so I'm trying to make everything special for her. I've made 5 Character Meal ADR's but needed some advice from all you veterans.

I was going over my ADR's and wondered how many characters would be repeated? When we discussed this, she mentioned that seeing the same characters over and over during the 5 meals may be too much and I agreed.

So here's a list of all my Character Meal ADR's and you guys tell me what you think.

Breakfast @ Crystal Palace, lunch @ Garden Grill, Brakfast @ 'Ohanas, Breakfast @ Tusker House and Breakfast @ Chef Mickey's.

As you can see we're big breakfast people. I'm keeping CP no matter what because of Pooh & friends and 'Ohanas because of Lilo & Stitch. I'm concerned with the others though. I know TH has Donald & Daisy and Chef Mickey's has Minnie (I think.) Do you guys know if we'll experience too many repeats? She wants pictures with all of these and doesn't care for "face characters" too much. Are there any choices you would change due to repeated characters or food quality. I'm not to thrilled about the food selection at GG but I've heard that the atmosphere is great.

Well, any advice would be very appreciated, Thank you all for reading.

I haven't been to any of the character meals, but a very nice DISer put together a spreadsheet with all the character meals and who's at which.

Breakfast @ Crystal Palace
- Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet

lunch @ Garden Grill
- Chip, Dale, Mickey, Pluto

Breakfast @ 'Ohanas
- Lilo, Stitch, Mickey, Pluto

Breakfast @ Tusker House
- "Donald & friends"

Breakfast @ Chef Mickey's
- Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald


Hope that helps! All credit goes to the other wonderful DISer - OhioStateBuckeye!

Thanks for posting!

Hmmm......I thought I read somewhere that Chip & Dale often appeared at Chef Mickey's or was it Tusker House?

I know they're always at GG but if they appear somewhere else then I have an excuse to cancel it.

Anyone know?

Again this is according to the spreadsheet, as I've never been, but the only other thing that lists Chip and Dale (along with Minni and Goofy) is Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club. It's a breakfast, 7:30am - 11am.

While looking at the menus, I found this for Chef Mickey's....

"In addition to Mickey, you may see Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald. (subject to change.)"

I can verify that Chip and Dale DO NOT appear at Tusker House breakfast... that is only with Mickey, Donald, Daisy and Goofy.

When we ate dinner at CM's, either Chip or Dale (can't remember which one) was hanging out in the lobby. He didn't come to the tables.

Thanks for posting guys.

Yes, I've been looking all over the net and different sites have different information. Hopefully, someone who has been there recently will know which characters are where.

I have been thinking about dropping Garden Grill for Cape May Cafe since I'd rather have breakfast and the characters are similar. Plus, my DGF would rather see Minnie.

I have read that Chip & Dale show up at Chef Mickey's so I've got them covered. (I hope.)

Anyone with any suggestions or info, please post. Thanks again everyone.

How strange that they didn't even come over.

Every time that we have been to CM both Chip and Dale have come around to the tables. The only character that was in the lobby that you had to go up to was Donald.

Thanks, so I should be covered then.
