Character Dining

[nomadbrat83]

While we are there they have three places available for character dining for breakfast or Lunch with the girls. Akershus, Hollywood and Vine, The Crystal Palace. Which is best choice for an almost 5 year old and a 16 month old?

I've been to all 3 and I'd choose the Crystal Palace for lunch. Save your morning hours to go on rides and enjoy that time while the park isn't too crowded.  Then, once the park gets crowded, take a break and have a fun and yummy lunch with Winnie the Pooh - right near the Castle and in the middle of all the action.

Do you have the park hopper passes?  Or base pass?  

And it depends on what your children are in to.  I personally liked Crystal Palace the best (but I haven't been there for breakfast, just dinner), Akerhaus, then Hollywood and Vine.

I will be getting annual passes

I have not done the Hollywood and Vine, but Akershus for breakfast was great for kids, lunch and dinner not so much lol

My mom LOVEs Crystal Palace.

also all are great for the age of your kids:)

I would go with Crystal Palace

[nomadbrat83]

I was kinda leaning towards Crystal Palace and that seems to be the general consensus of the group so I think I will try to make lunch reservations for there for either Saturday or Sunday.

Are u staying in Orlando for the weekend?

[nomadbrat83]

 Yep.  I will be at a hotel in North outskirts of Orlando on Weds and Thurs night for a work training conference and then will be changing hotels and staying closer to Disney on Friday and Saturday nights.  We plan to take the kids to Disney on Saturday and Sunday.  Also will likely see my friend perform on Sunday (I know she is working but have to check to see what shows she is performing in that day).

Awesome!

That's so cool that she's a performer. I always said if I ever worked at Disney thats what I would wanna do :)

I went when I was 13 and dont remember the restaurant names...but we did a breakfast with Winnie the Pooh. It was fun even at that age lol. 

I agree with a pp though. It would probably be better to do it around lunch time and just have a quick breakfast while the park isnt as crowded.
