We had gone to Chef Mickeys in 98, 00, and 01. Last year we wanted to try Donalds, thinking the theming would be great for DSs(then 5 1/2 & 2 1/2...big into dinosaurs).
Well, we are definitely going back to Mickeys this year and probably not Doanlds again. We found Mickeys to be very laid back and fun. Also loved the food...plain breakfast pizza is a big hit with my picky DS(and me too). At Donalds we were continuously yelled at by our waiter, had to leave the buffet (after getting 1 or 2 items) to get back to our table for the characters, and felt incredibly pressured. We couldnt wait to get out of there...didnt even get our picture taken. I will say the food was good, but after seeing the pizza on the menu, I was expecting the same as what they have at Mickeys...but it was covered with green & red stuff(peppers I assume?). So we were a little disappointed in that. And feeling so rushed we couldnt really look into everything. I totally missed the omlettes and Im not sure if they have waffles or not.
