Walt Disney World Dining Review: Trattoria al Forno Bon Voyage Breakfast

On our last morning, we ventured over to Boardwalk Inn for breakfast at Trattoria al Forno for the Bon Voyage Breakfast. The boardwalk is so peaceful in the morning.

We were in the first seating. Each table gets a frying pan of pastries.

While the price is fixed, it isn't a buffet breakfast, which is a nice change to the character meal experience. I ordered the Tangled Eggs and Chris ordered King Triton's Shipwreck.

Then, the characters started coming around!

We really loved this breakfast and definitely recommend this breakfast.

Walt Disney World Dining Review: Tusker House

 

One of the easier character dining experiences to get a reservation for is Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. It is located in the Africa section of Animal Kingdom and features Mickey Mouse and friends in their safari gear. It is a buffet and has a selection of African inspired foods. Now, don't let that scare you away. It is a buffet and it has plenty of options.

Characters came around quickly and the restaurant was not packed.

Basmati rice and curry, falalphel, tabouli salad, pita - I forgot to take a picture of the meat

A dessert selection that we shared---get the bread pudding!

Goofy was ready to go fishing!

Mickey was ready to hit Kilimanjaro Safari

Donald is my #1

Daisy rocks this safari outfit

I urge you to go to Tusker House and enjoy some time with Mickey and pals!

1900 Park Fare at The Grand Floridian Resort

1900 Park Fare is a character buffet restaurant at The Grand Floridian Resort at Walt Disney World Resort that features a wide variety of dishes. During the dinner service, you can meet Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia.

We had one of the first available dinner reservations for the dinner seating and we had plenty of time to go through the buffet line one time before the characters started making their rounds. We went to the buffet a second time after we met a couple of characters. The characters took a break and Chris went to the dessert bar to get us a plate to share. The only thing we didn't enjoy from the buffet was the lemon tart.

You can take a look at the food here first....

A signature dish, the strawberry bisque!

Catfish, Butternut squash ravioli, mashed potatoes, creamy chicken, cheese tortellini, broccoli salad

Blue Glowtini

Salmon, Jasmine Rice, Prime Rib, Mongolian Beef, Catfish and Mashed Potatoes

Our shared dessert plate-gummy bears, rice crispy treat, brownie, cannoli, and a lemon tart

Rum Swirl

And we got to meet the characters too!

Prince Charming mostly talked about how lovely Cinderella looked

 

Cinderella wondered if Gus Gus had been nibbling off the buffet

 

Lady Tremaine was discussing the difficulties of living in the castle

 

Anastasia wondered if she had the prettiest dress

 

Drizella asked if I was happy with my prince.

1900 Park Fare is not to be missed if you are staying at The Grand Floridian or if you love Cinderella.

Walt Disney World Character Meet and Greet: Tigger

I've never been a big Winnie the Pooh fan, but meeting Tigger was so fun! I love the enthusiastic, bubbly and bouncy characters and who is more enthusiastic, bubbly and bouncy than Tigger!

I met him at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom during lunch and it was wonderful...this is one of the best set up character meals...plenty of room to maneuver and so pretty!

Tigger can be visited at Crystal Palace or with Pooh in Magic Kingdom.

Disney Tips and Tricks: Eat at Off Peak Times

When the parks are busy, the restaurants tend to be even busier, especially if you want to eat during peak times...11-1 for lunch and 5-7 for dinner. If you are willing to be flexible, consider eating lunch at 10:30 or 1 and dinner at 4:30 or 7 for a calmer atmosphere.
