What are your favorite character meals?

Sounds good, could you include a bit on DLR too though (mostly because we're going there in Jan and will do a meal)? Thanks

The options for Disneyland character meals are much more limited, but character availability isn't as big a deal at Disneyland, either. You easily can meet the characters in the parks without long waits or Fastpasses, so needing a character meal to do that isn't an issue in California.

But yeah, let's throw those in, too.

I like Tusker House at Animal Kingdom because the characters parade through the dining halls and you are almost guaranteed to get a picture with any of them that you'd like. Plus, their outfits are fun and fit great with the Animal Kingdom park.

I like Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. It could take some time, but you are always able to take a picture with each character. I like the all you can eat buffet too. The food is always good there, but tends to be a bit pricey. The same for the Plaza Inn, in Disneyland. It's very similar to the Crystal Palace, and usually similar in price too.

1900 Park Faire at Grand Floridian for breakfast. The food is great with a lot of variety and the characters are non-traditional, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Alice and Mad Hatter, and Mary Poppins.

I rate from top to bottom.
1. Magic Kingdom's Cinderella's Royal Table (best food, atmosphere, and princesses)
2. Epcot's Akershus (very good food, atmosphere, and princesses)
3. Animal Kingdom's Tusker House (not so good food, average atmosphere, and good characters - fab four)
4. Grand Floridian's 1900 Park Faire (bad buffet food, school cafeteria atmosphere with grimy carpet, and ugly step-sisters)
