Originally Posted By busymomof3 Our kids are 3. We just went to Lilo and Stitch last week, and it was outstanding! We met Lilo, Stitch, Minnie, Daisy and Pluto. The food was great-it has a Hawaiian theme, and the characters spent lots of time with our kids. They teach the kids to dance, and play a musical chairs type of game. We were seated at 9:30, and by the time we left there were only 2 famlies there, and the characters all came out to play. The kids were in heaven playing virtually one on one with characters. We've been to Goofy's kitchen which we also like, but it's really chaotic. There is more variety in the buffet. All the characters did not make it to our table, which was in the back room across from the buffet and the room smells like mold. I'd avoid this room if you go to Goofy's. We met Goofy, Peter Pan, Wendy, Snow White and Pluto on our last visit. We've also done the Plaza Inn which has the smallest selection of food (but we still had plenty to eat), but has great atmosphere. We met Captain Hook, Alice, Minnie, Chip and Dale and Eeyore. And finally the Chip and Dale breakfast is more low key, and has great food. We met Chip, Dale, Meeko the racoon, and some bear I forget the name of. They're all good, IMO. I'd do Lilo and Stitch again if we were planning a trip; but I wouldn't say no if the kids wanted to do a different one!

My husband liked the food best at Lilo and Stitch, but I ordered off the menu there, so I don't know about the buffet. That is a bonus though, you can order off the menu. At Goofy's you have to get the buffet. We actually found Lilo and Stitch's more chaotic by far. Maybe it just depends on when you go. And our server there obviously didn't like kids or her job. But if you want to meet Lilo and Stitch, then that's the place to go.

It was so crowded at Goofy's we only saw two characters, genie and chip (or dale, I forget which one and the kids didn't really get much interaction other than a picture. At Lilo's they played games and played around with the characters the whole time we were there. We saw Minnie, Daisy, Lilo Stitch, Pluto and I just can't remember who all else. Stitch was absolutely hilarious with the kids, the best interaction they ever had with a character. We got plenty of pictures and autographs too. They loved it!
Originally Posted By markedward This won't help you choose between Goofy and Lilo & Stitch, but ... Once spring break passes, Disneyland is opening fairly late. So a breakfast outside of the park might be a better choice than the one at the Plaza Inn. DyGDisney is right. The hike from BW Anaheim Inn is pretty long.
Originally Posted By nemopoppins Goofy's Kitchen is by far my favorite, has the best food, and would be the best value if you're getting it for free because I think it's the most expensive. But, that Lilo and Stitch one sure is fun and as the previous posters said, you get a LOT of time with characters.
Originally Posted By 4Disnee We usually do the Storytellers and Minnie & friends. We really like the food at the Storytellers buffet is off the hook yummy but there are not as many characters as Goofys and Minnie & Friends. we have never done Lilo & Stitch. Our DS who is 10 loves the buffet breakfasts with the characters.
Originally Posted By tlovesdis We;ve tried them all and our favorite hands down is Lilo and Stitch at the PPH. The food is the best and the character interaction can't be beat.
