Which Character Breakfast would you choose?

[MrsACT1]

Which character breakfast is better, Garden Grill or Akershus? We are planning on a dinner at CRT so I was thinking we would go with Garden Grill....my by daughter loves the princesses!! I know Garden Grill is Chip n Dale, but who else is at this one?

TIA

Chip & Dale, Mickey, and Pluto. (Although with the standard caveat that specific characters are never guaranteed.)

Personally, I'd go GG if you're doing CRT, but if your daughter really likes princesses, then you can go the other way.

GG for something fun and different. Character interaction is fabulous too.

Akershus would be my vote. Better character interaction with speaking characters and I think the menu is better.

We loved GGarcia in May. My DR loves Princesses also, but has asked to go back to GG next year. Since you have CRT I would definitely give GG a try!!

Garden Grill is our favourite character meal on property, so I would always choose that one. With a Princess lover in your family, Akershus would be very tempting, but with CRT already in your line up, I think you've got that more than covered.

I'd keep Garden Grill over Akershus if you are already doing CRT. Then again, I am crazy and would also keep Akershus instead of CRT, so there's that.

NOTE: Results are listed from best to worst. Overall, Tusker House wins due to best food and the length of time the characters stay at each table. A close second is 1900 Park Fare. By far, Chef Mickey's is the loser, due to mediocre character interaction and almost terrible food quality. The very distant second worst is Cinderella Royal Table, for brief time at tables by characters and the new menu. For non-character breakfast buffets, we prefer The Wave (CR) or Trail's End (FW).

We did CRT and Akershus on the same trip once. My daughter was at the height of her love for the princesses so it definitely wasn't overkill for her. She was so happy to see her "friends" again. The next trip she wasn't into the princesses as much so I was glad we did both when we did. Now that she's completely out of the princess phase, we went to Garden Grill on our last trip and my daughter 8 at the time and my son 6, both loved it. We're going back on our next trip.
