Tusker House !!!

We did the Donald Breakfast at Tusker this morning... and it was wonderful!!! We had heard some rough things about pushy servers and the characters running thru. It was just the opposite. Our server was top notch and every character spent alot of time with my daughter... The food was typical breakfast menu... The Juice is amazing!!! We left straight from there and jumped on the safari "Bus" (Our Daughter calls it that). Then off to the Lion King Show!!! Great Morning... now off to Epcot for a late one!

ohhhhhh, I am so jealous. I could have easily fit in a breakfast at the Tusker House and then the Lion King Show.
Have fun!!!

This sounds like you read my review from last year, at least as far as the characters.
I did note that we were eating at 10:30 and that being close to switch over time and quitting time for the characters that they might have been running on empty, although they did spend much more time with the family with kids seated across from us.
I didn't have any comment on the servers, one way or the other as I recall.
However, my biggest complaint was reserved for the lack of omelets and eggs to order from the kitchen as opposed to Donald's Breakfastosaurus.

I am glad you enjoyed it, and also that you were able to get a reservation, as the new Donald's breakfast is much harder to get reservations for than the old one.

Re: Tusker House !!!

Tusker House is an amazing breakfast! They have the (2nd!) best breakfast potatoes at WDW! And I agree about the juice! The breakfast is so full of energy and the characters always seem to hang around the table for ages, regardless of party size!

Again, not in my experience and certainly not when compared to CP and 1900.
The key being "in my experience".
As always, your mileage will vary.

Re: Tusker House !!!

When we were there in February, we really enjoyed the food and characters. The characters didn't spend a long time with us, but then again we didn't have little ones with us either.

We enjoyed it so much, its on our list to do again next month!
