Please help us pick a character breakfast!

Does Tusker House still take your picture with the characters before you are seated? They did when we did it, in addition to the characters making an appearance for autographs and pictures at the table. CP they only came to the table. We also felt the food was better at Tusker House. We also were able to get into the park prior to the masses - though DAK opens so early now I doubt that is possible anymore.

Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions!

We (my husband especially) really want to eat a the Living With the Land restaurant - Garden Grill. I never thought of it because I don't like the dinner offered, but you all reminded me it's also a character breakfast. Menu looks good and husband likes it's not a buffet. But we are there for a longer trip (9 nights!) so we may also do Tusker House when the rest of our travel party arrives.

When we went in May, they did not.

Crystal Palace is our favorite Character breakfast, usually try to get a early reservation to get in park early

Garden Grill is great! Also, if you are doing your character dining when in Epcot, don't completely write off Cape May Cafe at Beach Club. If you leave from the international gateway, it's a pretty short walk. If your kids are into really interacting with the characters, we've had a lot of luck (and the most fun) at Cape May.

I just sent my husband a video of Garden Grill breakfast and he said "BOOK IT". We don't go until December!

Thanks everyone, never would have thought of it!

We’ve done probably 9 or 10 character meals & Garden Grill is soooooooo relaxing! By far the most chill vibe.

It is Disney Jr yes. I'm just saying that the breakfast spread is the best for food but yeah if you're not going with little ones or just looking for the original characters then definitely not worth it.

I also agree that Garden Grill is very relaxed and good food and the one character meal where you interact with the characters the most. They constantly came around...to the point it was almost too much!

Topolinos does have very good food and the character's are also fun and you get a great view if you go out on the terrace. It's just less food...still filling and much tastier...but of course less food.

We love Lilo and Stitch but last year when we did Ohana breakfast we were a little disappointed with the quality of food. No real bad way to go. I would do whatever is most convenient to you.

Do other characters come out for ohana or only lilo and stitch (dd wants to see stitch but I’d like other characters too)? Thanks!

What time do you get a reservation for? If park opens at 8:30 for EMH it must be pretty early?
