i have read a lot of positive reviews about crystal palace so for our upcoming trip, i booked an early reservation for breakfast there so we could enter mk early before rope drop. i would try that one. others we are planning include kona cafe for the tonga toast and macadamia pancakes, chef mickeys and ohana lilo stitch breakfast. my first picks would be crystal palace or kona. for a mk day. good luck!

I would do Crystal Palace over Chef Mickeys. The food was much better. It seems much harder to meet the Winnie the Pooh Characters in the park as well. It's wonderful being in MK before the park opens as well.

If you prefer a family style breakfast over a buffet, I would highly recommend Ohana for breakfast (Lilo and Stitch). The food was very good (fresh fruit, meats, etc.) It's just a short monorail ride away also.

Also, if you can swing it - Tusker House Safari Breakfast with Donald Duck was our favorite Character Breakfast of the 6 we did back in December. It is a very large buffet with lots of variety and the food was great. You can be one of the first on the Safari Ride if you get an early enough ADR because the restaurant is right next to the ride's entrance.

Whatever breakfast you decide on, you really can't go wrong. There is something for everyone at all the character breakfasts.

Have a great trip.

I love my CP breakfast especially if it before the park opens. It is one of my favourite meals. And being in the park it saves you travel time, which is great if you have a dumbo fan!!
However CM is my DDs favourite. It is a little more 'busy' and IMHO the food isn't as good. So if you get either you will enjoy it!

We are hoping for a last breakfast reservation for Crystal Palace.

Sept will be hot and humid- going to MK at rope drop and getting all those fabulous rides in in the morning we will need a break about 10:30-11 with air conditioning.

If it dont work out for Breakfast we will take the first lunch time

CP, early before the park opens. That way you'll be ready for the fun!

I would definitely do Crystal Palace over Chef Mickeys. We made ADRs for 9 am on our MK day. We were able to get into the park about 8:30 am through the ADR line and enjoyed a leisurely stroll down main street. Also had the photo pass photographer take our pic. It was nice having a pic of us on main street without everyone around. Not to mention the food was really good and the kids enjoyed Pooh and friends.

Another vote here for CP over Chef Mickeys.

We love breakfast at kona cafe on MK day!
We also do breakfast at the Rainforest before AK opens.

I would definitely do Crystal Palace. Get an early ADR and get into the park before the crowds - its pretty cool.
