TOP 5 BEST Character Dining Experiences | Best and Worst | 07/25/17

[@ceeb420]

Damn, I've never seen Pete so heated over a topic. I get he doesn't like the #5 place, but it was voted by the fans, so he could've just said, "Meh, I don't get it. Do either of you understand?" And let Steve and Craig talk about it and just not say anything, instead of railing Craig over him saying he never had a bad experience there.

[@knokout1]

Pete clearly has trouble with conflicting opinions. It seems that he's been more and more dismissive of people that disagree with him, and sometimes it is a bit annoying to watch. Different opinions are fine, expressing the reasoning behind your opinion (even if unpopular) is fine. But constantly interrupting and them completely cutting off Craig when he tries to express his opinion when he didn't do the same to you is really rude.

[@lalatte8294]

knokout1 I love the channel but Pete has a problem with hearing anyone's voice but his own....... it's getting annoying

[@colemayhew2060]

I agree. Pete should learn more about good social interaction.

[@DisTravelDuo]

Honestly Pete needs to realize that not everyone shares his opinion therefore he should be more respectful of others opinion and not so condescending. And please let your peers speak.

[@jackpeterson82004]

For those impatient people: Garden Grill (Epcot) Chef Mickey’s (Contemporary) ‘Ohana (Polynesian Village) Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom) Tusker House (Animal Kingdom)

[@shawnriv9]

Glad to hear Pete mentioned Cape May Cafe. My wife and I always visit Cape May for dinner every vacation; we enjoy it very much.

[@Loyal7]

shawnriv9 I agree the Cape May Cafe has an amazing character breakfast with fantastic theming! You also get all the classic characters and the cost is very reasonable compared to most character breakfasts

[@avabranz694]

love your show but have some constructive criticism. I feel like Pete doesn't really give any of the others' opinions into consideration. like he never let's them talk and I feel like he only believes that is opinion is right and everyone else's are wrong. idk but he just gives me that vibe.

[@CTKaraokeQueen]

I will say this in Garden Grill's favor: Easily the GREATEST character meal encounter I've ever heard at WDW was at Garden Grill. That was the first time I met Mickey, and the characters interacted a great deal with my family. Every single character. The best was Pluto stealing my brother's Squeeze Breeze and chasing Mickey around the restaurant. I even made friends with a cast member (I was maybe 7 or 8) and we made a special trip back and I bawled when she wasn't still working that day. While I genuinely cannot remember the food, I continue to encourage that establishment for how attentive and excited and fun the characters were there. :) The other choices were quite fascinating though!!

[@leeshdee9269]

Pete, if you don't want to hear what your colleagues think, then don't bother asking them. Stop interrupting your fellow podcasters when you disagree if you ask for their opinions. The way you just cut off Craig about Garden Grille was very immature.

[@colemayhew2060]

I agree. Pete needs to learn about good social interactions.

[@annasamanthahazel]

Reasons Garden Grill is one of my favourites: It rotates through The Land, the characters are super cute and spend a good amount of time at each table, the breakfast is just as good as any diner, and it gets you in to Epcot before rope drop. Crystal Palace is my favourite dinner because of the location and Winnie the Pooh. It also has the nostalgia factor for our family so that gives it a boost. No one in my family really wants to spend too much time sitting in a restaurant for table service while we are there so these two are right up our alley. And I have to agree about Cape May for breakfast. I've only been once, and it was a long time ago, but the interaction was outstanding and my 25 year old daughter who was 4 at the time still talks about that time Chip fainted because she called him Dale. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was too. We'll have to make sure to go there on our next visit to see if Chip remembers us!

[@catherineflores78]

100% agree on Tusker house. Consistently good and character interactions are always super fun and spot on.

[@KEJosephFavorites]

I agree with steve's tip about timing. I had breakfast at storytellers cafe in disneyland at like 10:30am and we basically had all the characters for ourselves for most of the meal! It was one of the best experiences ive ever had at disney.

[@justinkemmerlin4535]

Steve at O'hana in his youth: #Notamazingexperience haha

[@helosbl]

Love the channel, love the videos, but honestly, if Pete isn't going to let his peers have an opinion on things, he should record the video by himself.

[@MixedTapeInterviews]

I hated how he kept cutting the other person. I lost count within 5 mins of the video.

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Absolutely agree. Pete can be very domineering. All opinions are valid and Craig should have been given the room to have his say or it isn't a discussion.

[@stephenanduza9466]

EDventures * Couldn't agree more. Thank you for this contribution to this discussion.

[@vidadanger]

I rarely comment on videos and I was just coming here to say that. I'm fine with them disagreeing because I enjoy seeing both sides of the argument but Pete's tone is "my opinion is the only one that matters." This was irritating to watch because of his bad attitude.

[@Cacti88]

i thought he was very dismissive of the others opinions

[@quinnbansley4534]

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your best and worst videos, keep up the good work!!

[@cb96513]

If you're gonna poll people, don't bitch about the results.

[@vidadanger]

Caitlyn Brunner exactly right. "What's your opinion? Oh. You're wrong."

[@Misscoolfinds]

I love the crystal palace. Winnie the pooh and friends are great. 😍😍

[@mliproductions2988]

I only like crystal palace for breakfast!! Dinner was horrible when I went

[@Ave43able]

Excellent guest relations at Crystal Palace. We ate there the other day and by the time we were finished eating and ready to leave, Pooh had not come by our table. Pooh is my daughter's all time favorite character so the hostess made a point of pulling Pooh aside and bringing him to us. It's little things like that, that make Disney so special.

[@zoerosiee]

Aw Tusker House!!! This was a last minute addition to my WDW trip, and we were so blown away by this experience! The ambiance is incredible, the food was way better than typical buffet (and that jungle juice! omg!) but the fab five in their explorer outfits is just the cutest thing ever. I also appreciated that this venue was well-designed for character dining with the wide walkways, the way the tables were arranged. It was much less hectic than other character dining experiences (particularly Disneyland's, which were retrofitted to old, smaller venues) and it gave it a nice and relaxed flow, despite the hustle and bustle of breakfast. But this was such a gold star on our dining experiences. Whenever I go back, I want to try new things, but Tusker House is one of those places that we can't stop talking about doing again.

[@apricotvodka]

When Peter analyses the results, it could help putting the numbers (poll results) on the screen.

[@betsy3869]

Garden Grill is great for vegans. We got a customized meal that was completely plant-based, and it tasted amazing. Maybe it was because we got a good chef when we went, but my boyfriend and I had a great time there.

[@dannyobrien8314]

My mom is 80yrs old and loves Disney but has a hard time with the adventurous food (medical issues). She gets uncomfortable with always having to ask for special dietary stuff. She loved Garden Grill and could eat almost everything. The characters, the atmosphere and the food variety were spot on for her. Much like people mentioning parents enjoying seeing their kids enjoy themselves, seeing her enjoy herself is worth it. The manager came over and made sure that we saw all the characters, had adequate time with them as well as got enough food. The food is wholesome and you can get as much as you want of what you like. It was a great time and we would all go back. I agree with Pete about Cape May Cafe. Amazing food and great characters.

[@betsy3869]

I understand being uncomfortable about asking for special dietary needs. My boyfriend and I are on a very specific diet in which we eat no animal products, no oils, and minimize our salt and sugar intake. He has heart problems, so we are on a diet based on the book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. We have found that Disney is very accommodating in all of the table service restaurants. Trying to find an oil-free meal is incredibly difficult, but the chefs at Garden Grill and The Coral Reef accommodated us perfectly. Other restaurants weren't able to eliminate the oil, but we were able to find plant-based options every time we asked for them. We got a lot of off- menu accommodations. If you ask, restaurant staff are usually very willing to help out with dietary needs. If you don't like asking, there is a way to modify your dining reservations to note any allergies or dietary requirements. That prepared the wait staff and chefs for our need for a customized meal.

[@HeidiSKulesh]

Great job, as usual. And- I must say - it is so special, and gratifying, when a vloig site actually listens to its watchers, validates their good ideas, and puts them into practice! Bravo!!

[@skatergirl8019]

I love Garden Grill! Love the atmosphere, the food is always good, GREAT character interaction and love the atmosphere. Living with the Land has a special place in my heart so I love that it rotates around the ride. You know what else I think people like about it? It's calm. Chef Mickey's, as great as it is, is chaotic. Running to the buffet, trying not to miss the characters, the celebration every 45 minutes. The GG is peaceful, the food and characters come to you. It's a nice break and you can usually get a reservation pretty easily. I like it there.

[@lovelifelikewatermelon]

How about letting your colleagues speak? I really wanted to hear what they had to say and you cut them off both abruptly and immaturely. Its a discussion, not a one opinion show... what's with all the negative vibes?

[@kallimaynard2358]

I love that Tusker House is kicking butt and taking names. The food is incredible and the characters are fantastic. It's a must go for me.

[@britania5850]

We had reservations at Tusker for my sons 1st birthday in 2016. We went towards the end of dinner. It was only a handful of families in there. Let me tell you, it was the BEST experience. I’ve done a few character meals but this one was the best! The character interaction was phenomenal. The food was incredible. The characters spent so much time with each child. I recommended it to everyone!

[@TandNProductions]

Garden Grille is very good. Great service the characters came through twice! The food was not Cali Grille or anything but it’s still a great experience with acceptional food and very immersive atmosphere.

[@NYBwilk]

Feedback: maybe when u say a location you put a picture of it like the entrance or something cuz I have a hard time thinking of the place like the top 5 one that grill

[@michaelconrad4541]

NYBwilk I agree when they said garden grill I was running it through my mind and it wasn't until Craig said "barnyard attire" and then it popped up on my heaf

[@colinwhalen4852]

NYBwilk yeah that's true that will helpful I know it's on the Disney world website but it will still be helpful

[@NYBwilk]

Colin Whalen ya don't have time to look it up lol

[@vik2reoshrt]

Yes Craig, I agree. I was surprised not to see Akershus. We loved Akershus! Good food, great interactions and didnt have to camp out for a reservation like you do for Cinderella's Royal Table. We'll be doing CRT with our daughter's this year even though I was not impressed with it on our honeymoon, but I'm hoping it will be better with them. We'll be doing late lunch instead of breakfast...I'm not a big fan of breakfasts at Disney, they're kind of all the same. And yes! When we were at Tuskerhouse between Breakfast and Lunch we were able to experience both!!

[@deepvoodoo]

My greatest ever was when I was a kid in one of the Disneyland restaurants and I had a Darkwing Duck action figure (this was in the early '90s) with me and a cast member as Darkwing Duck came up to my table and made this grand gesture like, "meeee?" It was so in character, I just loved it.

[@jenniferpayne3498]

I'm glad to hear Pete you put a mention in for Cape May - have ressie's for this for my niece and nephew's first Character breakfast.

[@melissahopkins2117]

Omg THANK YOU! Leaving for our trip in 10 days and was just searching yesterday for a video like this from you guys! Fate! 😂

[@christopherwesner3647]

Steve Porter's comments at around 12:20 are exactly what I was thinking. We always schedule our Tusker House ADR for around 2:45. You get some incredibly awesome character interactions.

[@rollamcnut]

Did both Tusker House & Chef Micky's on our last trip. Both were great experiences, but Tusker House was an above & beyond kind of experience for our family. Food was incredible & characters in their safari gear was perfect immersion for my son. Will definitely be visiting it again next trip.

[@pinkpwincess2007]

So happy to see Tusker House at #1 😄 it's where I'm going in September for breakfast (8:20 reservation) and I am way too excited!

[@saruffner7728]

Thanks Pete and Steve for making these. For those of us who don't get to Disney as often as we like the Garden Grill is great. We had 3 meetings with the characters over the course of an hour for breakfast. Kids don't per say care about food. Its waffles and sausage. Its breakfast but the interactions for the kids is well worth it. It doesn't have the name of the other places but its priced well and we loved it. Steve and Craig nailed it.

[@Yanevernoinoz]

100% agree that Tusker House is number one. Best character experience on Disney property. Have already booked for my next trip

[@stecher17able]

I agree %100 percent with Cape May Cafe. We go every time and have great interactions and great food. We never feel rushed.

[@faeoori]

Dinner at Tusker House was AMAZING. My kids got hooked on rainbow carrots because is that! It was fun, tasty, and just lovely.

[@RetailRipper]

Only been to Akershus, but was impressed with everything. My daughter is 5 and like mentioned, it saves a lot of time by seeing a lot of princesses in one place.

[@saraofarendelle]

i LOVED garden grille, personally. i went with my family a couple years ago (i was around 15/16 i believe) and it was amazing! we had a reservation like an hour/hour and a half until the park closed but our food was still super fresh, we never felt rushed, and we got to see each character at LEAST two times. i'm a picky eater so i like really basic food, but my parents are into the more adventurous foods but we all found something/things that we liked!

[@woodsofthewoods]

I agree with Craig. Garden Grill has an old fashioned Disney feeling to it almost nonexistent in Disney now. For a little while the ambiance is inviting and retro. You feel cocooned in unlike most new restaurants. The new ones resemble one big ol huge cafeteria. (Be our guest) The food is comfort food, and about the only place where we get filled. There is a bit of fun about the platform going around and the fact that the characters come to us without a hassle. By the way, we just retired and dont bring kids. You dont have to have kids to enjoy Disney. One last thing. My two cents: The charm of this show is that they have real people. Once they start censoring themselves, we would have robotic hosts. Hey, who has not over emphasized like crazy, their own point at one time or another? I may not agree with him in this point, but I will fight to the death for anyone to express themselves. This is the way discussions used to be, before the media.

[@ZakkuTakku]

Could not agree more with your point of not having to have kids with you to enjoy Disney! My last trip in May of 2016 was a solo trip; just me, myself, and I. I enjoyed it immensely! The cast members, and most of the other guests I interacted with were wonderful people, and the characters I saw (both at standard meet and greets, and character meals) were great! They didn't let the fact that I was a solo adult male stop them from giving me the best experience they possibly could, and I will always be grateful for that! And as far as Pete's comments about Garden Grill, he's entitled to his opinion, as all of us are, but I respectfully disagree with him. I really enjoyed my meal, and overall experience at there! I would say for me, it was my favorite character meal, followed very closely by Tusker House!

[@bugsaysmeep]

I appreciate the polling change, because I was a little confused as to how it was being determined. I don't have kids so I tend to not do character dining, but my husband and I ended up at Tusker House on our honeymoon and didn't realize it was a character experience. We were blown away! The food was delicious, and the character interactions were so much fun. 😊

[@mlzzzthanggg]

The Garden Grill has a great family vegetarian option. That's why we love it.

[@mlzzzthanggg]

It was a meatless meatloaf with sides. It was pretty good.

[@Mrtfarrugia]

4:05 Pete let him finish.

[@hayzerqb11]

Pete now likes Garden Grill....

[@michaelburns6354]

I totally agree with the # 1 Tusker House was our very 1st dinner we had at Disney, we loved the food and the characters were great!

[@zacg_]

Shrimp curry at Tusker House is to die for.

[@kevinbailey8827]

Garden Grill is the only character dining I've done, so I don't have much to compare it to. We have four kids four and under, so I really appreciated the family-style service. No need to deal with menus. No need to coordinate trips to the buffet. They brought the food to the table, and it was good, and there was plenty of it. I also gravitated to it because I ate there previously in 1983. It wasn't character dining then. The menu had food that was available downstairs at the Farmer's Market, and at the same prices, which at the time seemed to be reasonable.

[@LoveField_1111]

"blah blah blah... #5 Garden Grill it sucks" hahahaha!!! Love these videos and all of the different view points and personality. You are very knowledgeable and funny! Thank you for these!!

[@Beepbopboop19]

Pete 🙈🤣 let Craig speak! I love Pete and his 'tude, but eek, on 🔥 today!

[@grayandry]

Totally agree with Tusker House. We've been to several character meals, and Tusker has great food and great interactions. I was surprised about Garden Grill because it is probably our 2nd favorite.

[@calebmills2345]

Pete goes full New York and/or New Jersey (somewhere up there) at 2:46. Haha!

[@emh3229]

I'm with Craig- I think Garden Grill is darn good!

[@emh3229]

Crystal Palace on the other hand... never had a good meal there!

[@SuperTopher01]

Love the Dis Unplugged espically Pete and his wonderful honesty. Could their be voting not through facebook for those of us that dont do that. Just a thought. Thank you.

[@Kendallreiss]

I did a breakfast/lunch at tusker house and it was wonderful! I believe we had a 10:45 reservation.

[@hairdresser1300]

shhhhh.....don't give up secrets!

[@nikkimanley2355]

Oh man, Garden Grill breakfast is our favorite character meal! The characters were fun and spent a lot of time with us, and the breakfast food was really good!! Yum!

[@christypate6541]

Recently went to Disney and loved The Garden Grill. I liked the characters and the food. I am from NC and the thing my family liked the most was that they had real brewed sweet iced tea. Most places at Disney do not. I loved the freshness of the salad and I loved the turkey. I also agree with Craig about it coming to the table family style.

[@stephenanduza9466]

I love Pete but his whole idea of "no one's opinions are wrong" are just B.S. He just lambasted Craig for disagreeing with him about the quality of Garden Grille. Craig just said he never had a bad meal there and Pete just completely disregarded him. I really hope Pete's sporadic continued arrogance doesn't spell the downfall of this channel.

[@stephenanduza9466]

Jude Gross I am simply commenting on an aspect of the show and responding with the "don't like it, don't have to watch it" ploy is not going to garner the attention to your opinion that you seek nor is it a calculated response to anything I just said. The DIS is Pete and I am only commenting on his disregard for the opinions of his chosen panel and the hundreds of fans who completed the survey, as it is in bad taste.

[@C1NDR0N3]

Jude Gross "if my opinion is different from yours, fuck off" come off your high horse man

[@GiggleGoddess88]

Stephen Anduza I see what you mean. He's like blah blah blah it sucks end of story...pretty much saying Craig your opinion doesn't matter to me. That's how it came off to me anyway. I love Craig and Ryno's food adventures and to sees his perspective being squashed makes me sad.

[@GiggleGoddess88]

Oh and this video is for best/worst CHARACTER dining... Not best meal. Seems like Petes only looking at the food aspect.

[@dlfendel2844]

Dear Snowflakes: Pete is Pete. He's brilliant, hilarious, acerbic, wickedly honest, and he's just as entitled to express his opinions in his way as you are in yours. Craig is one of his MOST trusted employees and friends and they OFTEN disagree on things and KNOW it is done with love and mutual respect. Your whines are silly, and indeed this is the style of Pete and of all the Dis offerings and THAT is part of what makes them special and wonderful for those of us who get tired of all the faux-smiley-happytalk Disney/Orlando-related channels on youTube. So yeah, if you don't like it you really DO need to find somewhere else to watch, because it isn't going to change, and your nonsense complaints are just boring, not relevant, to here.

[@DianaRamirez-Imecs]

Yes ! Tusker House is a must if you want amazing food and a wonderful character experience it will not disappoint!!

[@Ave43able]

We ate at Tusker House last week on vacay and LOVED IT! Best scrambled eggs ever and the Jungle Juice is to die for. The Mealie Pap is escpecially flavorful. Like nothing I had ever tried before. African porridge. I'm going to try at make it at home!

[@mermaidellie9649]

We had breakfast at Garden Grill and it was pretty good. My stepmom had never been at Disney and we kept talking up Mickey waffles so it was nice she got to try them. Also the rotation is fun.

[@crashacid1]

I'm glad when my wife and i went on our honeymoon (disneymoon) we ate at the top 3 character breakfast spots. Can't wait for our next trip!

[@maxlyday7485]

Tusker house is amazing at the breakfast and lunch transition...same extra interaction time as between lunch and dinner, but you get a brunch type meal.

[@55sedf]

Completely agree with the top two in that order. Food and character combination are perfect!! My grandson requests Tusker House then we love the food!!

[@nicholas_scott]

I agree that Tusker House, and Ohanas have terrific food. But I think there is a third factory beyond food, and characters- The setting is huge, especially for the adults. Cinderellas Castle, and Akershus have a far better setting then Tusker house. I also loved the setting at Chef Mickeys with the monorail running over. It was magical. The food and characters are a lower priority for me.

[@corriezoetewey7860]

I’m so glad to hear you say that the Cape May character breakfast is good. I am considering that for a non-park Day character meal with my 2 daughters.

[@shanakidwell1403]

Love these best and worst videos!

[@Davysitter]

I'm with Craig on Garden Grill I also like that you see inside the ride

[@agon1963]

Davysitter we went in May 2017 and ended up on top level. You can't see much from up there and not enough room. Tables were small. Food ok.

[@chuckoneill2023]

When I was last there the rotation was broken, but they were not telling guests about it "up front". I would also add that the food used to be excellent, and they went to lower quality while at the same time raising prices. I will not go there again.

[@hairdresser1300]

good to know

[@robodell7]

I would have put the Royal Banquet Hall at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot as my number one. My daughter absolutely loves meeting the princesses and the food is unbelievably good.

[@elleshellmo]

Tusker House is SOOOOOO good. The characters are really great too. I love when they do the dance party. They were great with our table of all adults, and Goofy was really sweet with a little girl near us who was scarred of the characters. Also the buffet room is so beautiful and well thought out.

[@uziel5000]

Conclusion: Pete doesn't like Character meals. LOL Totally understand where he is coming from but to judge a character meal solely on food alone is missing half of the equation. BTW the appeal of Garden Grill (so I hear) is that it's small so you don't have to wait too long for characters to come around to your table and in some cases, you get to see them twice which is almost impossible (or highly unlikely) at the bigger places like Crystal Palace or Chef Mickey's

[@GiggleGoddess88]

Mc Kenna yeah it seems the only thing he's looking at is good quality food. Not characters. Not whether the run of the mill visiter/family can afford/get a reservation. Yes he's entitled to his opinion BUT when everything this episode is supposed to talk about like why it's best or worst and he just says they all suck to him... Is kind of a letdown. Especially when he's domineering the conversation. I like great quality food but I'm not going to turn down a place just because they have "plain" food. When it comes to food I look more at Craig and Ryno's take/videos . I don't want to call them "average" LOL (b/c they are amazing! ) but to me they represent us average joes/families who aren't food snobs...they show us the good food (or bad, lol) that everyone can enjoy...sometimes more adventurous at times...but heck they seem to cover it all! I guess when you can afford gourmet dining and concierge level service on cruises and hotel stays you'd have that expectation of high quality food and only look at that aspect. But what percentage of the people who follow their shows can afford that level of luxury? Thank heavens we have Craig and Ryno (and Steve)! I miss Oliver but I found him on another channel with JL: -)

[@chuckoneill2023]

I don't completely disagree with you, Jessica, but all the character meals have a premium price -- and when one of them can do quality food at the price, why not all? So I think he is right to critique the food.

[@511djlamb]

I agree with Pete, we do the character meals with our kids and while it's special to see their delight and enjoy their experience, Disney is taking advantage of us by charging high fees for subpar food. You can pay the same for a buffet at vegas and get AMAZING meals. I know it's disney but they can serve some great food throughout the parks and resorts so it really needs to carry over to all the locales.

[@steveharris1740]

I am also surprised Akershus want higher. It's basically Cinderella's Royal Table but only cost one dining credit and the food is pretty good.

[@jonathanbest485]

Tusker House is the best hands down. I love the food and the safari character interaction.

[@kimt8162]

I did notice that the last time we went to the Garden Grill--the food and dessert I think have changed a little. I thought it was okay. and if you have kids...they like simple foods...

[@michaelsedor6807]

I love these lists! I don't always agree but often find new experiences to try.

[@sade66119]

I love the Garden Grill BREAKFAST Pete, have you tried the BREAKFAST?

[@lisasecula4274]

This. I'm not a big breakfast person, but there is something about those sticky buns!

[@sade66119]

Lisa Secula Oh and dont get me started on that fruit salad

[@saxonrulesrock]

Wow , didn't expect it but tusker house was great. Food and character interaction. And you're right not too many know about it

[@Patrick-qn6oq]

I'd love it if you could flash a visual of the restaurants you're talking about. It would make it easier to remember/recognize. (Is there a licensing issue that restricts you?)

[@GhostHostMemories]

When we were in Disney for christmas of 2015, we did Garden Grill for Breakfast. Was one of the better meals. Food was good. the cinnamon bake was amazing. and sure it's a gimmick, but having the salsa's for the eggs was a good change of pace.

[@bigtrouble72]

My first character dining experience was at a brunch at the Disney Inn. I never did one as a child (not real sure it was an option). We're two adults with no kids and really like the Garden Grille. It doesn't hurt that my favorite characters are Chip n Dale, but it's also in our favorite pavilion and I love the family style. I think the food is good and the atmosphere is great and not cartoon-y if that makes sense.

[@DanMoellering]

At the Garden Grill, 2 trips ago the food was not great. But this year they changed up the menu and it was great.

[@ariel_at_home]

LOL, I would pay to watch a video of Pete taking 4 kids to Disney! LOL Love the show guys! Also, We love Garden Grill because the kids can see the educational value of the sustainable culture and food.

[@dmp6656]

We love Park Fare and definitely Ohana..our favourite for both breakfast and dinner..Tuskegee house is on my list to try and the hoop dee do review!

[@MrFlounder878]

My wife and I had ours on the "Empress Lilly" back in the day, and we had an excellent meal and time with the characters. Too bad some things change.

[@gregzeidner5489]

In Chef Mickey's defense: it is the only restaurant my 8 year old son has requested we go back to.

[@Kynarreth]

I'm glad you changed it to separate polls. Keeping it in 1 poll sort of means that anything that didn't get voted on at all is actually the worst because the lowest things still got voted on.

[@NathanLeeJames]

I go to Disney with my sis and mom. We're all adults, but we like character meals because we still like to take pics with characters and it's the best way to get the major ones. However, our list is very different. For example, for us, Tusker house wasn't a great experience because we didn't like the service we got. Also, we are always a bit put off when you have to buy the photo with the main character, like with Donald at Tusker House. Mostly we do characters for breakfast, and so we, or at least I, rank Chef Mickey's pretty highly. The breakfast is basic but great everywhere and I love meeting the Mickey and the gang in the Chef Mickey atmosphere. Though Ohana breakfast is a fave of ours too (Mom and sis consider that their fave). Dinner at Garden Grill is another top fave and we loved the food. I also love the Princess breakfast at Arkershus (sp?). Crystal Palace is generally a great place for breakfast with Pooh. I loved breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, but my sis didn't. I think my mom did. Off the top of my head, the only other we've done is dinner in Cinderella's castle. I didn't care for the food, but it's always cool meeting princesses and I love the setting, and I'd go back just for all that. So far, I think we've only returned to Ohana's breakfast and Crystal Palace, but I want to revisit all of them and try the ones I haven't yet too. I haven't truly disliked any, but the only ones that we didn't love every aspect of were Tusker and Cinderella's, and 1900 for my sis.

I agree with the poll. I like Tusker House but ate dinner only. I don't remember it was character dining. I like Mickeys Back Yard Bbq but food is ok, characters are dressed accordingly but lines are long for pictures. However, the kids can dance with the characters.

Brunch at chef Mickey's is pretty good! Ohana used to have characters at dinner along time ago. Fort Wilderness Lodge had a brrakfast and Liberty Tree Tavern had a lunch and dinner! I think Disney should bring back more character dining.

Whoa calm down there, buddy. Not everybody has the same taste as you... Anyway, other than breakfast, the Tusker House has absolutely nothing I can or will eat there. Some people, like myself, are extremely picker eats, as well as having a lot of food anxieties. So I will not be eating anything exotic. That is why places like the Garden Grill are good for us.

kristenx0 Tusker House is gross! Agree 100% with the Garden Grill

Hi there… I absolutely love this channel… I love you Pete… You make me smile and I am so glad you do this for a living… I just want you to know that I booked an extra breakfast on my trip now because you talked so highly of the Tusker House… I will let you know. I'm paying out of cash because I've already booked all my dining credits for my dining plan. LOL! Soi'll let you know how it goes…I just can't wait! I trust your judgment LOL

[@DisneyAdulting]

Pete is extremely picky about his food. Damn! 😳😳😳

[@jasonJohto87802]

You guys are awesome, I get a lot of my Disney info from you guys. I'm actually a cast member at WDW and would love to hangout with you guys some time

We had my sons 5th birthday party at Chef Mickey's. The food was below average but my son loved seeing the characters. We spent a fortune and my husband said we could have done fine dining for the same price we paid for this. We definitely prefer Ohana!

[@adrinietocano]

I loved Ohana. But the server was rushing us terribly. She gave us the check 20 minutes after we arrived, Lilo almost didn't interact. On the other hand, Mickey, Pluto and Stitch were great. Food was awesome.

[@Felpscos]

Dude, Pete... CHILL.

[@little_seven_]

I love Garden Grill. Food was great and Character interaction is superb. Usually you get to see the characters twice.

[@bunkmateproductions185]

I've had breakfast at both the garden grill and Tusker House. Had a great time at both, though I was about six when I ate at Garden Grill and fourteen when I ate at Tusker House. It must be like Pete said, it's an age thing.

[@ItsKimOlson]

I've never even heard of Tusker House or Cape May. Will have to look into both.

[@TinkTink311]

I'm surprised that Cinderella's Royal table didn't make the list . I've never been there, but it seems like a good way to meet all of the princesses.

[@colemayhew2060]

My favorite character meals are Garden Grill and Ohana. Because the food is good and family style. They also aren't too big so you can see those characters twice unlike Chef Mickey's. I would recommend Ohana or Garden Grill over Chef Mickey's.
