So I know what you are wondering why would a 50 year old man do a character breakfast when he has no children with him? Well before I answer let me ask you this.
Why do people come to Disney?
Hopefully to laugh and smile a lot, hopefully to get back in touch with their inner child; to have a lot of fun and not worry about what others will say. If that is true, then the character meals are brilliant whether or not you have children with you. Yes photo opportunities and signatures and watching your children smile and giggle as they hug Mickey and his pals, as Mickey and his pals sound like quality time with them. Well I say quality time some restaurants are better than others – I would rate Tusker House in AK, Cape May at Beach club, Garden Grill at Epcot and 1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian as the best; but all the interactions will depend on how much you as parents interact with the characters:
-
Ask Mickey about Minnie
-
Tell Minnie how lovely her clothes are and compare to yours or your children
-
Tell Donald Daisy is No1 duck…
I love acting through these impromptu conversations, and yes it is true most characters cannot talk, but are able to hold a chat with hands and movement.
As an adult it just makes you smile and starts the day off with you recapturing your inner child that is needed if you are going to get the most out of the parks. The food is often buffet style and of good quality so it is worth doing if you are going to eat on resort somewhere.
