Character Breakfast

[Javier Boughton]

hello everyone..

very exited for my upcoming trip in 3 1/2 weeks for 1 whole days in orlando

we are thinking on taking our kids (boy 6, girl 5, girl 2) to one of the character breakfasts..

i dont want it to be all princesses because of my boy..i was thinking (seeing the description on http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/dining/) that the best option would be contemporary.

the description says that Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and pluto would be there, so i guess there's a character for everyone.

which of the character experiences do you recommend?

the breakfasts are for a closed number of guests?

thanks

We like Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary. We also like Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom with the Pooh characters and friends.

Either way, you're going to need reservations for wherever you decide to go. I would suggest seeing what is open at this point.

Chef Mickey's breakfast is tough to get, try to make your reservation ASAP!

The Contemporary has some of the best food options.

But if you can't get a reservation for that one, the Tusker House Safari breakfast at the Animal Kingdom rarely is sold out. (and has the same characters)

Personally, I enjoy the one at Ohana at the Polynesian (with similar characters plus Lilo and Stitch, Chip n Dale)

Those characters are also at Cape May Buffet at the Beach Club. That's worth a try =)

 

[mouselvrmom]

Oh, I agree! Try Tusker House or Ohanas at the Polynesian.

We also really really like Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club. They have similar characters to Chef Mickey's: Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto in their beach ware.

Great minds

It's also free dining time, any table service restaurant is going to be tough so close to the date.

 

[mouselvrmom]

Great minds

Exactly!

 

[Javier Boughton]

Cape May Cafe also sold out..

guess the character breakfast is gonna be with seeing the people at the hotel buffet only!!

next time gotta book it a few months before

What about 1900 Park Fare? That has pooh, mary poppins, alice, the mad hatter. it's at the Grand Floridian.

If you haven't made an ADR for your Character Breakfast months in advance, the chances of you eating there are slim to none.

I booked my ADRs 90 days out and Chef Mickey's was already booked for breakfast for the entire week. Better luck next time!

Keep trying EVERY DAY. People do cancel.

On a previous visit, I was lucky enough to get lunch at the Castle 3 days before we arrived because I kept calling.

 

[BrerFrog]

I went to Crystal Palace and to Chef Mickey's. The latter has one or two extra menu items, but I like the former better because it is inside MK.

 

[French Quarter]

I would go with 1900 Park Fare. It's a little easier to get into than some of the others and it's just beautiful. Great character interaction and a wonderful variety of food.

 

[LoveTheLand]

We always go with Ohana's. It's always been a lot of fun and has good food.

Tusker House at Animal Kingdom. all the main characters, mickey, minnie, goofy, donald, and pluto.
