Jill,
I LOVE this character meal! The interaction is great, and the food is too! What really sets it apart though, is the great setting. I just love to watch kids get transported to a savannah lodge. As they grab their grub before heading out on Safari, you can really see their little minds getting into the spirit of the African theming.
Don't get me wrong.
Chef Mickey's is fantastic. The food is well above typical buffet quality you might find elsewhere. But you will find that
Donald's Safari Breakfast is equally up to the task of feeding your family, while entertaining them as well. Some of the buffet items here are inspired by African cuisine, giving you a few great "exploration" choices to liven up an otherwise standard american breakfast fare.
I think your daughters were right on the mark here! You need to trust their intuition, they seem to know what they are doing!
Have a magical (and delicious) vacation!
