Is this character breakfast buffet or family style?
It is a buffet, and a wonderful one with terrific selections, as well as a station where they will make your omelets to order.
Which characters are present?
There are different characters at different times, and usually they have which ones will be appearing posted outside the restaurant. When we were there they had Mary Poppins, Bert ( they were in the lobby coloring with the kids), Alice in Wonderland, Pooh and Tigger. Eeyore, Piglet, Mad Hatter have also been known to make appearences. At night they have Cinderella's Grand Gala with Cindy, the Prince, the Fairy Godmother, and 2 of the mice. I have heard that Lady Tremain and the wicked stepsisters may also be added.
How is the food and service? The food was outstanding... no complaints at all. There is also a very nice child's buffet, at childs height with foods that would appeal to them. The adult buffet is huge, with just about anything you would want, all served temperature appropriate. As for the service, it is top notch. All you have to do is just think you need something and it was there. We must have drank a gallon of orange juice each, and our glasses were never less than half full.
Any recent experiences there would be great to hear about! We were just there in October as a party of 5 ranging from 8 years old to 61 years old, and we all had a wonderful time and have sworn to return in the many trips to come! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
