Please tell me which one you would choose and why? We like the characters offered at both but I'm wondering which has the better reviews, etc. THANKS SO MUCH!
I have never done the Minnie and Friends breakfast but I LOVED the Lilo and Stitch breakfast. We were able to get pictures taken with Daisy, Pluto, Stitch, Lilo, Minnie. The food was super yummy. We did the buffet and there were tons of choices: Waffles, eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, salmon, smoothies and more.
Another vote for Minnie. It was SO MUCH FUN (aside from my fear of costumed characters LOL) The kids loved it, the Characters did a good job and the food was AWESOME
I had an early breakfast scheduled at L & S for next week but cancelled it ~ only because we'd have to take a taxi to get there and we for sure will take one on our MM ~ our hotel offers a private shuttle but it only starts running 30 min. before regular park opening. If we were staying within walking distance I would've kept our L & S breakfast. We're gonna have a late breakfast @ Minnie's on our MM day instead. If we eat at one of the resort character meals ~ GK or L & S (Chip & Dale would be fine later in the morning) I prefer to be done before the park even opens.
We'll for sure try L & S next time we stay within walking distance.
There was a lot less characters there than at Minnie's. But the food is better at PCH in my opinion. And also Minnie's was the only meal we had so far that I would personally chalk down as a bad experience.
I've not been to the Plaza Inn Character breakfast, but I have been to the Lilo & Stitch Character breakfast. I really enjoyed it; it's less hectic than Goofy's Kitchen (don't get me wrong- I LOVE GK!!!), and I really enjoyed the tropical theme. The buffet is good, but not as big as the one at GK. There's Elvis songs, Hawaiian songs, and songs from the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack as background music. But the best part is Stitch! I went during the holidays last year, and Stitch walked up behind me and piled my plate full of gingerbread cookies and other cookies when I was trying to decide which pastries to try So cute!
For me it would be Minnie and Friends based solely on location alone. I'd only do the other if I were actually staying at PPH. For me, convenience and times saving efforts are a huge priority for my DLR vacations. I don't go to DLR for the food anyway becaues not much of it is my cup of tea. So food quality is less of a big deal. I also like that you can sit outside to eat at Minnie's. We usually go there after a couple of hours of playing on a Magic Morning day. When the crowds start getting bigger and we've done all the rides then we're ready to relax and eat.
We have done both and we love the Minnie and Friends. We like the mix of characters. Food was good, but in my humble opinion you really never get to enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the character breakfasts. Too much "oh mama look" and so on.
For characters and convenience Minnie's. But the Lilo and Stitch one has by far better food (selection and quality) in my opinion. I have done both several times and each time I do Minnie's I enjoy being in the park but wonder why I just didn't ride the monorail over to L&S or GK!
L&S doesn't have a huge array of characters alhtough all four or five times we've been, Daisy Duck has been there and she is hard to find. But for sure you can find Lilo, Stitch and Pluto in DCA and DL very easily.
At L & S they play games with the kids, its lively and fun but not overly hectic and the setting is nice. And the buffet is so good.
You can't make a bad choice but the thing I dislike about Minnie's is how crowded it gets. In my opinion that restaurant is not large enough for a buffet breakfast. I love the Plaza, its lovely but I don't think it easily handles the crowds of a character meal. I wish they'd make it a family style, served to you type meal.
For food and fun? Lilo. There are games and the food I think is yummier (and more of a selection on the buffet- plus they have a menu) But the characters can be lacking.
