Character meal help

[Deleted]

I have used touring plans. They give an actual cost and when it was updated. Here is an example for Tusker House, it was updated end of January touringplans.com/animal-kingdom/dining/tusker-house-restaurant/menus/donalds-safari-breakfast

I couldn't tell you if it's 100% accurate though.

Is there somewhere I can find current/actual prices of character breakfasts? We are going in December. Offsite, no dining plan, family of 8. We decided not to book all our meals but did book some. Of those, we have three character breakfasts. My family are big breakfast eaters and fans of buffets. We've got Tusker House, Crystal Palace and 'Ohana. Everywhere I look gives me a range of prices but I can't find anything that says what it will be while we're there, first week of December. I'm figuring $30/person for each but wanted to try to get a more accurate idea if possible.

Also, anything special I can expect to find at any of these restaurants besides eggs, meats and Mickey waffles? Does 'Ohana have the bread pudding or tonga toast?

Not really anything official but I found this thread on Disboards that was updated just this week.

I've been to Tusker House and Crystal Palace and the food was great at the former.  It was pretty good at Crystal Palace but nothing spectacular.  I liked the ambience of both.  Never been to Ohana but I'm going in December too.

Disney usually puts the prices online so always check there first.

As far as the food goes, CP has some items people really like like puffed french toast and bfast lasagna, they were fine.

I have not done blasts at the other two only later meals but I'd expect something different at TH in addition to normal offerings. You won't get the Kona Cafe Tonga Toast at 'Ohana - there are menus on your My Disney Experience site you can peruse too

The link NQB posted has always been the correct prices when I've compared them. The guy whose thread it is, I think is able to log onto the disney castmember portal (or knows someone who is) to get the most updated prices.

IMO, Tusker House has the best selection. Besides the usual stuff, they had a carved meat station, there was oatmeal with mix ins, and hard boiled eggs.

At CP, the Pooh's Puffed Toast gets a lot of love. And the side buffet at Akershus has a very nice selection of breads, cheeses, deli meats, and fruit.
