Hi Emily!
We at the Disney Parks Mom's Panel absolutely love first-time visitors. It is so much fun to think of the incredible experience you are about to have! As you have discovered, there many amazing options for
Character Dining. Whatever you do, though, don't let yourself feel overwhelmed. I have a sneaking suspicion that once you feel the magic of Walt Disney World you will be returning again and again and will have lots of chances to sample every dining spot!
For the time being, let me share with you a few of my family's favorite Character Breakfast experiences. At the top of the list:
Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort where Mickey and Friends welcome you to a delicious all-you-care-to-eat buffet. Another favorite is
The Crystal Palace on Main Street U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom. The setting--and the food--cannot be beat. One more favorite is 1900
Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. All of these, and more, will set the perfect stage for making wonderful family memories together!
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with your planning. Have a wonderful day!
