Which breakfast buffet?
A group of me and my 3 girlfriends are traveling to WDW in the spring and are on the DDP. We (me) are trying to find out which breakfast buffet is worth using our Table Service on. They would rather use it for lunch or dinner, but I thought if we could find one or two buffets that are worth it, I'd like to switch it up a bit since we'll be there for a week anyway. We're staying at Pop Century and relying on Disney transport, so it would probably need to be in the park or at one of the resorts near MK. Any ideas? Oh, and we're all pretty adventurous eaters

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort. We've eaten there twice. We liked it the best. No matter what your age, you can join in the fun. You're always a child at WDW.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
Personally, I enjoy Donald's Breakfast Safari, but if you'd prefer a MK-area location, I'd recommend Chef Mickey's or Crystal Palace. Also, Akershus in Norway at Epcot might be fun with the girls.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
Thanks for your suggestions, I'm going to run them past the girls. I am trying to find a little more than the typical breakfast fare, and the Crystal Palace does seem to have a nice selection. But thats just my preference so we'll see what everyone decides on

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
Crystal Palace has definitely been my favorite of all the ones I have been to.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
Crystal Palace is great...always good food and fun characters.
Another suggestion would be Park Faire in the Grand Floridian. It is also a beautiful place and you get to spend some time checking out the GF, then whiz back to the park on the monorail.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
I'd have to say that Crystal Palace is my favorite and then Ohana. I love breafast but I would also prefer to spend it on dinner too. I can let you know about Boma after Dec 7th becaues I hear it's awesome too.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
We loved 1900 Park Faire for breakfast, but that was before the renovation. Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's are good, too.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
Crystal Palace wins my vote. Great food plus if your reservations are before the park opens say at 8:05 you will walk down main street all to yourself and you can get to your favorite ride first.

Re: Which breakfast buffet?
We too do not eat breakfast often BUT I wanted to do a breakfast buffet to shake things up a bit.
I have never eaten breakfast in WDW but after extensive, scientific research we chose Boma at AKL. My reasoning, I wanted something different not just waffles and eggs (which they do serve but they also have different things on the menu) PLUS it gives us an opportunity to see the AKL before we go to AK. I will be giving a full report in September. Lisa
