I would like to do several character meals on our next trip. We did Chef Mickey's last time for dinner and most of our party didn't care for it so we aren't planning on going back there.

Would like 1 breakfast and 2 dinners. We will also be doing the Hoop Dedoo Revue. And I definitely want to do one princess meal.

I have 2 girls ( 14 and 9) and 1 boy ( 3)
 
Cinderella's Royal Table is our favorite for breakfast, then Chef Mickeys for lunch or dinner.
 
Ooops, didn't notice you did not care for Chef Mickeys, we also like Crysal Palace at MK.
 
We love Crystal Palace for breakfast and also had a nice breakfast at Akershus....the princesses were very sweet and friendly and we were so pleasantly surprised that the photo package was included! We are going to be brave and try Akershus for dinner in the hopes of meeting Ariel!
 

CP, Cape May, Norway and Ohana breakfasts
 
Crystal Palace was soooooooooo good last time. Tusker House breakfast too. We had a good meal at Garden Grill also.
 
We've done CP for breakfast and lunch and both times LOVED the food. We did CM dinner and didn't care for it but will be trying breafkast in hopes that its MUCH better.
 
For breakfast we like CRT and then Crystal Palace
For lunch we like PSB in Norway
For dinner we like 1900 Park Fare, PSB in Norway and Crystal Palace...

we are trying CRT for dinner this time.... and although we do have dining reservations at Chef Mickeys (at DMom's request) I tend to agree with you on that one.... not my favorite either...
 
We did Chef Mickey's for Breakfast - loved it!
We also did the Cape May Cafe one too - at the Beach Club - loved it too!
We also did the CRT for dinner - great experience!

Not sure if we're helping...but you honestly need to try them all...
We all have different tastes... your kids are different, you are different...
We simply like different things!

You're in Disney...hard not to like :)
 
for breakfast our favorite was Donald's Breakfast at restaurantosaurus- I imagine it's probably the same now at Tusker house?

We like Cyrstal Palace also- mostly because of the characters there.

Our all time favorite though is dinner at 1900 Park Faire. We won't do CRT breakfast again- we love seeing Cinderella (prince charming/etc.) at 1900 Park Faire. It's our kids favorite. :)

Chef Mickey's wasn't our favorite either.

Hey Shelly! Glad to see the 1900 Park fair recommendation. We are hitting it for the 1st time in June.
We always go to CM every 1st night of our trip. This trip we come in kinda too late for dinner so not hitting it.
 
For food, we thought Tusker House had the best.

For characters, overall experience, we liked Crystal Palace second (didn't think the food was as good as Tusker).
 
We did Chef Mickey's for Breakfast and CRT for Lunch. Loved both. The breakfast spread was really good and two-sided which cut down on lines. We got pretty much all the major characters at Chef Mickey's including the man himself, Pluto, Goofy, Minnie, and Donald.

There's something special about CRT. We had a wonderful window seat so we could look out at everybody milling around. At CRT we had Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Jasmine.

Definitely not the same. I loved Donald's Breakfastasaurus of course,(see my name) but they've upped the ante at Tusker. they kept the best parts, threw in :love: Daisy and added some unique items that were very good. I didn't care for the special juice, but they still had orange, so it was all good. The only thing I didn't like was the corned beef hash, I probably am trained to eat the canned. It's a must do.
 
It is a tradition for us to eat at the Crystal Palace for lunch on every trip to the Magic Kingdom. We also really enjoy Akershus and Chef Mickey's. We really liked the characters at 1900 Park Fare for dinner, but the food was only so so. However, the breakfast there was great! The Garden Grill is pretty good and my 5 year old son loves the Play & Dine (the food is good, but as an adult, I like some of the other characters better.) Like it was mentioned above, you just need to try them all. Its an excuse to come back again!
 
We really enjoy:

Ohanas Best Friends breakfast w/ Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto
Tusker House was also excellent w/ Donald, Daisy and Pluto
(we have also tried CM for Dinner and didn't care for it.)
 
we've do CRT and Ohana's for breakfast and CM for dinner and have been happy with all...they say GG in epcot is very nice....l
 
We really enjoyed breakfast at Ohana's w/ Lilo & Stitch. More of a relaxed setting that most of the character meals. Great for the big kids and tons of food (don't plan on eating lunch).
 
Definitely the Crystal Palace. Great food for lunch and dinner - unique items and just surprisingly good overall. You cannot beat the location, either.
If you have a little girl and you have never done CRT I think its a "must do" 1 time, but not great food. Its a neat experience, though. Crystal Palace is the one we go back to.

This time around (June) we are going to try Cape May and Donald's Safari Breakfast.
