"We had our first breakfast here in 2003 for my husbands birthday. Food, character and setting were perfect Such good value for money and so we did it again this time in the Crystal Palace last year 2005 for our daughters birthday. Booked only 2 days before and it was as good as before. Will definately be doing it again this year."  Cherie-UK (2/06)

"Just a FYI about the Animal Kingdom Breakfast, Breakfastasaurus.  Those of
us with little kids will find this important.

"This breakfast USED to be a good way to get deeper into the parks ahead of
the crowds.  After breakfast we weren't allowed to go on the rides but could
make our way back to the Safari & such and be ready to line up at 9.  During
our last visit this past June, however, an employee had set up ropes to keep
us all in and didn't let us go until the crowds had already passed Dinoland.
  We were released around 9:05-10.  I was not the only guest complaining. 
The breakfast here is my least favorite and the ONLY reason me, and dozens
of other guests, paid the $70 for 4 was to get a head start on the crowds. 
I'm going again in Feb and just called WDW-DINE to book all our
reservations.  While on the phone I tried to confirm their policy and was
referred directly to the restaurant.  A manager just left me a message
confirming that policy is to hold back breakfast attendees." Lucy

"We had breakfast here in May 2004 and loved it so much that we are going to eat there again in 11/2005.  The food was excellent, the characters spent plenty of time with our family and our server was a lot of fun.  We found out when we got checked in to the hotel that you can actually book earlier than when the park opens to the regular guests.  Go early and hungry!" (9/05)

"We loved this meal, altho we had booked it for the day after we arrived from the Uk so we had to sprint through the park to make our PS reservation. My kids loved this and it was their first ever character meal - I have no doubts we will return!" (2/05)

"we had breakest as here in june 2003 and it was the worst we have had, the characters had no time to spend with us and the staff just wanted us out the door, we love disney, but wotn dine here again. BIG THUMBS DOWN"

"character breakfast at disney's Animal Kingdom was excellent. We made reservations for 8am, had a lovely walk through the park when it was quiet, breakfast was well organised and the young lady who looked after us was great. Although we only had a few minutes with the characters it was enough for photos and autographs and then we got down to the important business of eating, there was a good choice of hot and cold, something for everyone.
The added advantage of booking an early breakfast was that you were in the park when it opened." (7/04) Sue Livingston, England

"On our second famiy visit to Disney world we had our first character breakfast in AK...fantastic! Couldn't believe we didn't do it the first time. Food was great and characters had all the time in the world for photos etc. Since then I have been to Disneyland Paris for new year and 2 more character meals. They are a MUST and add that extra little bit of Disney magic and create some very magial memories!!" 5/04)

"My family and I went to this breakfast for my daughters second birthday. Everyone from servers to the characters were wonderful. We have two other children a boy who was seven at the time and another girl 13, and they both loved it. This year we will be trying out the Princess breakfast at Epcot for our little Princesses fourth birthday and I hope this experience will be as enjoyable. She is still talking about her birthday with Mickey and friend when she was two...." (4/04)

"This was one of the best character meals ever!!! my boys got to be upclose with
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy they spent a good amount of time at each table!!! well
worth every penny." (6/03) Annmarie, Pa.

"Great. Service and food was very good. Had a big varity of breakfast foods. Charaters took time for every table." (10/03)

"this was my favorite meal they had the best characters. Mickey hugged me. they spent a lot of time with me." (6/03) Jack (age 7)

"We had a lot of fun here too. It was real early in the morning and foggy.We saw a lot of characters, Donald and Goofy,Mickey and Pluto. My husband got some great pictures but lost them later9we had a roll of 36 and he thought we had 32 and opened the camera to early. But all was forgiven he was very upset with himself." (11/02) EEE

"We have enjoyed this character breakfast twice (november 2000 and christmas eve 2001) and it has not disappointed us either time. Our son was so wide awake (at 7:oo a.m.!) When the characters all come in the dining area. The resturaunt reminded me of summer camp long ago! The food is excellent. We had the priority seating and did not have to wait but about ten minutes to be walked from the front gate to the resturaunt. It is really fun to walk thru the park when no one is around - you really get to take in the tranquility of animal kingdom. This is definetly a great character breakfast - you have to at least go once, or if you are like us, every disney visit!!!" (8/02) Gaylynn Branham

"My family enjoyed several character meals during our first trip to Disney (the first week of March 2002). The breakfastsaurus was by far the least enjoyable. The only benefit was being able to enter the park before the crowds. Seating was chaotic; the service was unthinkably poor; and the food was only edible. We will not choose this breakfast again. Instead try eating in the Magic Kingdom where early entry makes a huge difference in the wait for lines to ride the slow loading kiddie rides." (7/02)

"I had the first priority seating time of the day, and arrived early at the AK entrance. There was a separate line for people with PS, although it was much longer than the regular lines to get in. Once through the gates, guests were rounded up into a group and taken down to Restaurantosaurus in DinoLand by a CM, who later turned out to be our server. Everyone in that group was seated in the same room. Our server was very loud and made everyone feel comfortable. Shortly after we'd been seated, Goofy arrived and posed with each table for pictures, and signed autographs. Each character started off in a different room, and Mickey was the last to visit ours. The food was good, but there wasn't as large a selection as I've seen at other character meals." (11/01) Joanne

"This place was soooooooo much fun! This was the only character breakfast we had and I am glad we chose this one! The workers were really great and took pictures of the family with the characters. Not to mention the food was excellent! Two very very big thumbs up!"
