Hope this helps you! This is my FAVORITE site for information~ you can click on MENUS and it will tell you EVERY place to eat at DW, prices and anything you need to know about the menus!
We are doing the 1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian, as I LOVE Mary Poppins!

Good luck!

People rave about Crystal Palace's breakfast - it's with Pooh & Friends.
Also, 1900 Park Fare at GF has Alice, Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins, Pooh & Tigger.
Chef Mickey's has Mickey, Minnie,Goofy, Pluto & Donald
Tusker House at AK has Donald, Mickey, Pluto (I think).
CRT has Cinderella & other princesses
Akershus (Norway) at Epcot has the princesses

I guess it depends on which characters you want. Personally, it seems everybody raves about the Crystal Palace breakfast food, that I would think the food there is the best.

we did Chef Mickey's breakfast in January and thought the array of food was very good...hot, fresh & replenished often. Character stuff was cute.

It is a VERY popular breakfast, though, so the seating does get backed up fairly quickly. If you don't want a long wait after check-in, try for an early seating (before 8:00 a.m.)

We've done 1900 Park Fare, Crystal Palace, Akershus and Tusker House and our favorite is Tusker House. The food if very good and you get Donald, Goofy, Daisy and Mickey. I also really enjoyed 1900 Park Fare with Alice and the Mad Hatter (Mary Poppins, Tigger and Pooh were also there) but DF didn't like it for some reason.

Our absolute favorite is Crystal Palace with Pooh and friends (try for an 8:05 a.m. ADR and you'll have Main Street almost to yourself). We also like Cape May Cafe (Minnie, Goofy & Donald) and then Chef Mickey's. We've not done Ohanas (we don't like Stitch, and I liked it when it was Minnie's breakfast and a buffet--not family style) and we've never done the one at the AK.

My family didn't care for Crystal Palace. When they seat you they tell you it could take up to an hour for all of the characters to make it around to your table. It all depends where they are in their route when you're seated. A lot of people just ate and got sick of waiting around and left. It's too bad though, we got some cute shots with the characters, but felt we were missing out on rides.

We love the food at 1900 Park Fare. They'll make omelets fresh for you! Buffet was good and the kids had their own sized one. Plus, ice cream with choose your own toppings...even at breakfast. Kids like that!

Finally, Ohana's is our favorite. DS loves Stitch and the food is really good. The family Hawaiian bread they serve as you are seated is delicious!!! PS - You can request more at any time!

Chef Mickey's is a cute atmosphere, but I wasn't wowed by the food. If you're looking for pictures with the most popular characters go there. But for the same price, you can get better food elsewhere.

Have fun!

It might depend on where you are staying. We had a great time at 'Ohana with Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto. The character interaction was top notch and the entertainment was really fun.

Tusker House was okay - only saw Minnie and Daisy. The service was not the best, either.

Another option is the Cape May Buffet. The characters are in beach attire. Quite fun!

We just got back a couple of weeks ago and I can't say enough about Tusker House. The food ...great! The Characters ...great! (Mickey, Goofy, Daisyand Donald.We even had a small "parade" around the restaurant with drums and shakers with the kids. big fun and good food.

Our favorite character brkfsts are: Crystal Palace, Chef Mickey's & Ohana - we love all 3.

Crystal Palace: good buffet featuring puffed french toast, bright/open atmosphere, good character interaction w/Pooh characters

Chef Mickey's: fun/upbeat atmosphere, very good buffet w/nice selection, good character interaction w/Fab 5

Ohana: relaxed polynesian atmosphere, good food but limited menu - served family style (mickey waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, fruit), good character interaction with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo & Stitch

 

[fraggle1_rs]

thank you everyone for the different surgestions, weve got some ideas now

 

[Mommytwotwins]

We went to Chef Mickey's for breakfast at the beginning of June and LOVED it!! We snagged a last minute ADR and we seated right away. The food was very fresh and tons to choose. The character interaction was the best we had all week. They all came to the table and signed my both my dd's books and took as many pics as we wanted. I will make sure to go back on every trip if I can!

We really enjoyed Cape May Cafe with Goofy, Donald, and Minnie Mouse all in their beach gear. The characters were so funny and eventhough it was busy, they stayed at each table for a long time joking around with everyone. Plus the food was very good. This is a character breakfast that we will return to again

 

[ROEDISNEY]

No ? for me CHEF MICKEY'S For any meal
:

 

[jenseib]

We did Chef Mickeys 2 years ago, and it was just ok food. Nothing to write home about.
WE did Cape May this year, and the food was awesome. We really loved it there and I highly suggest it now.

 

[Toystoryfan32]

We love Ohana but this year we are trying CP at 8:10 so we can get a view of the empty park. We have eaten at CP for dinner several times and it has always been good. So hoping breakfast will be just as good!

 

[Pooh&OurHunny]

We love Tusker House Donald Safari Breakfast yummy food and great character interaction. My loves the parade with the character. Characters are dressed in safari outfits.

Cape May Breakfast - yummy breakfast food and loved characters dressed in beach wear.

CP - lunch...my husband likes the salmon and good selection of food for my son.

CRT breakfast - good breakfast and my son likes eating in the castle

For 2 adults with no kids, I would also suggest the Cape May buffet. My DH and I ate breakfast there this past October on the morning of our anniversary and had a great time. It's a bit quieter because there aren't as many kids and although we don't have any children, the characters spent a good amount of time at our table taking pictures. They are Minnie, Donald and Goofy in their beach outfits. The food was awesome, hot, fresh, good selection and replenished often. Our waitress was busy but we never wanted for refills on drinks or for plates to be taken away and we had our anniversary buttons on and she gave us a chocolate mousse with a candle in it and had Donald come over and help have our section sing Happy Anniversary to us.
