All meals at Makahiki are buffets. Most of the time it is a character meal, but you can eat a late (8:30-9:00pm) dinner there without characters.
Character Breakfast
Breakfast is a character meal. When you check in to your breakfast, you are given a slip of paper which you can then use to go meet Mickey who is standing outside the restaurant. When you get to the front of the line, you hand over your little paper. I think this is how they know you are ready to be seated. Note that while photopass is available for this meet and greet, the photographers will happily use your camera as well.
Once seated, your server will stop by and get your drink order. Typically they will let you know the path that the characters are taking through the restaurant and about how long it will be until the next character reaches your table. You usually see Minnie and Goofy here, but sometimes they change it up.
The breakfast is hosted by “Aunty” who keeps the kids entertained, gathering them up for parades and singing songs. She also wanders around the restaurant, playing her ukulele and chatting with guests.
Adults $39.00
Keiki (Ages 3 to 9) $20.00
