I miss the character breakfast with Aladdin at what was then MGM , it took place where the Playhouse Disney Live is now. does anyone remeber what it was called? mid to late 1990s

**Nini** · 01-31-2009, 01:12 PM

Sorry, can't help you with the name but I do remember it.

I miss Bonfamille's at the French Quarter. My husband and I had the best brunch there in '98.

I also miss when Captain Jack's had a decent menu: baked oysters and other oyster and shrimp appetizers. It was great.

**d_m_n_n** · 01-31-2009, 01:47 PM

I miss the Concourse Steakhouse

I miss the old CRT - before the change to pre-plated and 2 TS. They used to have the best food and service. Now, it's just a photo session.

I miss all of these...I never got to try them! I love Aladdin so if I had known about that one, Dad may have been forced into it and I had no idea CRT existed or Mom would have forced him into that one. Good thing about planning is now I get to (mostly) decide where we're eating and it is IN WDW! Before we got one meal at WS and a couple CS meals at MK because Dad planned everything. I guess it just makes me appreciate it more now! Bad thing about planning is now I am also paying at least half most of the time!

While Liberty Tree is still there, I'll miss the character dining at dinner on my next trip. It was one of my favorites.

**beachezncream** · 01-31-2009, 06:40 PM

I miss the food court area .. the old one at the land!!!!

**murphy1** · 01-31-2009, 06:41 PM

Oh, wow! Me and a friend went to that breakfast, we were single went over for the day and the Aladdin kept coming over to our table and then the Genie kept coming over haha!! They didn't even have character attendants to shuttle them I don't think! This isn't TS, but I used to love the choc. tofu soft serve by the MK rockets, I was a teenager and always had to have it when I went! We also ate at CRT when I was a kid when it was King Stefan's and it was really good for lunch.

Breakfast at Tony's.

**VWL Mom** · 01-31-2009, 07:16 PM

I miss the character breakfast at Artist Point. It was also a first day must do for us.

**mouseketeer mom** · 01-31-2009, 07:22 PM

I miss two.
The Concourse Steakhouse,
and in the 80 's we used to go to a character breakfast on a boat. Was it the Empress Lilly? I don't remember!

**Polynesian Dweller** · 01-31-2009, 09:29 PM

For me its the Coral Isle at the Polynesian, which was remodelled to be the Kona. The Coral Isle was less noisy and had more of an island feel to me so it fit into the Poly better I think.

I miss the Crystal Palace when it was a Buffeteria. We always went there for breakfast, and often went back for dinner. The food was wonderful and, although it was cafeteria-style, they used china dishes, metal flatware and cloth napkins.

The Soundstage Restaurant. The location also featured the Catwalk Bar above the main restaraunt.

... The Crystal Palace at the Magic Kingdom is still a Buffet Style restaraunt.

**Crow** · 02-01-2009, 09:04 PM

the Pre Princess Hot & Kold Bordt at Akershus.....not that I mind Princesses....
and I always wanted to try the Catwalk Bar but never got to

**wendy*darling** · 02-01-2009, 09:36 PM

Bonfamille's at Port Orleans (FQ). That was a wonderful place for dinner in the early-mid 90's. PO-FQ needs a TS- bringing this one back would be terrific!

Another vote for King Stefan's! Loved eating in the castle pre-princesses.

Character breakfast at the Garden Grill. Now lunch is gone too.

Fountainview Cafe in Future World. I miss having a light breakfast here and relaxing as the day is just getting started.

Yes, I know, but I'm referring to the early days of the MK, when ADRs were not required and before it became a buffet-style character meal location. Although it was referred to as a "buffeteria", it actually was a cafeteria-style restaurant. There were set menu choices at various prices and was a great location for those of us who don't pre-plan TS locations (like me

), but who wanted more than what was offered at CS locations at the time.

By the way, I've been to the Crystal Palace since the change to buffet style character meals and enjoyed it a lot.

100% agree. We had the best character breakfast at Tony's in 2002. The character interaction was great and the food was amazing!

I miss the original Liberty Tree Tavern before they started with the Characters and Stouffers food back in the day when it was a Colonial Pub and you ordered off a menu.

I also miss the Soundstage Restaurant for the Character meals.

And I actually shed a tear over the Concourse Steakhouse leaving.
