Tusker House Character Dining Review

Restaurant - Tusker House

Location - Animal Kingdom

Characters - Goofy, Mickey, Donald (only at the entrance for group photos, doesn't mingle), Daisy

Food - Lunch- buffet some foods were very authentic and I had no idea what they were!

Pros - We liked the food and there was lots to choose from. 

Cons - Some of the food was very ethnic, so if you have picky eaters the choices are limited, but there is lots to choose from!

Tips - Get Fast passes for the Kilimanjaro Safari and when you get done eating hop on! It's just down the way from the restaurant

Would we do it again? - Yes! We love the dancing around and we were happy to meet Daisy, who isn't at any of the other dinners. 

Any other questions? Just ask!

We left our table to get desserts and then found out we missed Daisy! We told the cast member in blue and he made sure that she came to see us! This was shot in anticipation of meeting her! They were excited! Can you tell?

I made the shirts and found the bows at Hobby Lobby.

Crystal Palace Character Dining

We did 7 character dinners, yes 7! We hadn't done any dinners before and had the Deluxe dining plan and probably won't do this many again, so why not! We can say that we have done the more popular ones and there were ones that we loved and some, not so much!

Restaurant - Crystal Palace

Location - Magic Kingdom, located on the left side behind Main Street just before you get to Adventureland

Food - We ate the breakfast buffet (fresh fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, toast, pastries and more!)

Characters - Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger

Pros - If you think about how long you would stand in line to meet all 4 characters individually, you might be saving time, plus you get to eat while you wait!

Cons - Lasts an hour, that's a long time for a breakfast with two little ones. We waited 20 minutes, after we were done eating, for Tigger to finally get to our table and they we were out of there!

Tips - Make a reservation before the park opens that day and you get into the park early! No people in front of the castle with you and you feel like you have more time to spend in the park that day. Also, bring your autograph book!

Favorite Memory - I loved seeing my 3 yr old with the characters. You can see the love in her face and how excited she was to meet them! There is nothing better than a momma seeing her baby so happy at Mommy's Happy Place - Disney World!

Would we do it again? - Yes! We liked the food and the location, but next time we will make an earlier reservation!

Any other questions? Just ask!

She saw Piglet coming up next... 

Didn't care for Pooh Bear!

My girl loved meeting the characters!

Piglet tried to get her to warm up, but she wasn't having it!

She thought Tigger was well worth the wait!

Finally warming up to a character! She touched his nose and gave him a high five!
