Which character meals do you have booked? Looking for suggestions. It’ll be 2 adults and 2 year old daughter. She loves all characters. Looking for good food selection at all parks and resorts too. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Thank you!!!
 
I’m not sure why it feels like we get the best character interactions at Hollywood and Vine in HS. We’ve done most at least twice (except Topolinos) and H&V 4 times in the last 5 years. They’ve been fantastic and fun, in a natural way that gets everybody having a good time. And typically they’re able to make more rounds than most other places, coming back around every 15-20 minutes usually. We do dinner though, so maybe that is different for breakfast.

Thank you!! Did you enjoy the food for dinner?
 
I don't do any buffets, it's nothing against buffets, but buffets with kids are just not my preferred way to enjoy vacation.

We tend to do breakfast over other meals, mainly because my kids will eat their weight in breakfast foods.

Our favorite character interactions have been at Topolino's and Garden Grill. I've done GG for both breakfast and lunch but I haven't done breakfast since before COVID.

If you like Stitch, the breakfast at Ohana is fun.

Once my kids are older and can better manage buffets, we'll add Tusker House back into the mix. We went when it was family style post COVID and loved it, but I understand people who were used to the buffet didn't.

Great point! Thank you!
 
My favorite is garden grill dinner(so so relaxed and my kids were the most entertained by the characters coming around a lot and also looking at the ride plus I didn't feel too crowded) and runner up is toppolinos breakfast (good food and felt fancy). My daughter's favorite was the princess breakfast at akershus because princesses.

Yes we did. I especially love the salmon at H&V, it’s seasoned and cooked very nicely. Everything is really good though, they keep it interesting and fresh. Like it’s not just generic mashed potatoes, mac n chz, etc. Really good roast beef and ham. There’s always plenty of different things too choose - at least 20 different meats and sides.

Honestly I wasn’t expecting much the first time we booked. It’s been great every time so far. We’ve gone with different people and each has always found stuff they couldn’t get enough - in a good way! Lol. Somethings for everybody :teeth:
 
Chef Mickey Brunch (around 11:30 or noonish). 4 times
Topalinos breakfast is excellent. 2 times
Garden Grill once and loved it
Akershus Royal Banguet hall for breakfast was really good and saw 4 or five princesses. 1 time

Ohana breakfast was by far my worse dining experience on property. Burnt Mickey Waffles!!!
