    My personal favorite character meal at Disney World is the breakfast buffet at 1900 Park Fare (inside the Grand Floridian Resort). The food was excellent and we got to see Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins, The Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland.

    My boys say their favorite is Chef Mickey’s which I also liked for the variety of food and the fun characters.

    I remember as a kid my dad would take us to Disneyland’s Breakfast with the characters. It is not inside the park, there. He would take us instead of the park sometimes. For me this was just as cool. Last time we went I was about 18 and I think he had more fun than anyone.

    What a great list. We enjoyed the breakfast at the Yatch Club too. It was all the classic characters.

    We went to a few of these places when we went to Disney World a few years ago. Now I want to go back so that we can go to the other places.
