Originally Posted By goodgirl Goofy's Kitchen is indeed fun. Lots of character interaction. Huge buffets. I find that you get better value for the money by dining breakfast/lunch rather than dinner.

The dinner buffet at Storytellers is also very good. Not as expansive as Goofy's Kitchen but great prime rib and the best ever corn chowder. The characters are what I call the "forest animals." I think I've seen Chip and Dale, Koda, etc. I don't recall seeing any "talking" characters. At Goofy's you'll get princesses or Alice who will stop by your table to chat. Either way you go, make sure you bring your cameras.

Originally Posted By 4Disnee We love the breakfast at Storytellers the food is really good but not as many characters as Goofys. The Plaza Inn is also very good but we have not been there since it has changed to Mickey and friends. The last time we were there it was the princesses. But the food has always been very yummy!

Originally Posted By cnbhoward The Plaza Inn is great, its in the park so you can eat outside and watch the people walking down Main Street. Call ahead and get priority seating.

Originally Posted By practicallyperfect I'd like to chime in with the Lilo and Stitch breakfast at the PPH. We found it a refreshing change after always eating at Goofy's Kitchen. My girls are not big eaters so I really appreciated being able to order off the menu instead of doing the buffet. Character interaction was fantastic. Crowds were low so we were able to spend a lot of time with the characters. There was also a lot of games that were played so my girls liked it alot! Saw Lilo, Stitch, Daisy, Minnie, Chip (or Dale) and Pluto.
Originally Posted By ChiMike ^ I agree. The Lilo & Stitch meal was by far the best buffet/character meal we had at DLR. Great food selection, service, & comfort level.
Originally Posted By stagemomx3 Ugg now you all are making me think I should add the Lilo and Stitch breakfast for our trip! We are already doing Chip and Dale and Goofy's Kitchen. My dd really wants to see Daisy though, and if she is at Lilo and Stitch that might make it worth adding!

Originally Posted By practicallyperfect Yep. The Princess Breakfast is no more (and my girls loved it as well). The princesses can now be found at Ariel's Grotto for lunch and dinner. A very different format than the breakfast--no buffet and the princesses visit each table. No one gets up and meets the princesses. A lot more organized than the breakfast was.

Originally Posted By jodiefra Goofy's kitchen is great if you're up for a little mahem -- there's dancing, loud music, and some crazy food (pbj pizza, goofy's cake which is 80%frosting, etc.). My kids LOVED it but did have tummy aches for a couple of hours : ) Storyteller's cafe was much more relaxed and peaceful. There was a smaller buffet but it was all great and the characters all had time to sit at our table for a while and take lots of pictures with the kids. You'll have fun no matter what you choose! Enjoy!

Now we go to Lilo and Stitch the food is good and far less crowded than Goofy's. Still haven't tried Chip and Dale thinking about going in October.
