We are WDW vets and for us it is absolutely Minnie's Breakfast at the Plaza Inn. We think it is better than any of the character meals at WDW. You never know who you might see. We have seen a minimum of 7 characters, and we have seen up to 12 characters. I think we have always seen Minnie, Fairy Godmother, Hook, Max (Goofy's son), and a Pooh Character or two, and almost always Rafiki, but we have also run into characters like Alice, Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dum, Mary Poppins Penguin, Pinocchio, Gepetto, Brer Fox, and more. Goofy's used to be a lot of fun with surprise characters, but a year or so ago they standardized it, so it is just Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale and Minnie. There are no additional surprise characters anymore. We skipped it our last trip because of that. So far, they haven't ruined what is special about Minnie's Breakfast. If you are interested in Princesses, Ariel's Grotto is the only Princess character meal (I think we saw a princess pop up one time at Minnie's, but that was years ago). Unless they have changed the lunch menu in the last 6 months we are not fans of lunch (it used to be good, but since the last menu change we have not liked the food), but breakfast is still great. Unlike WDW where the princesses are standardized, at Ariel's there is some variety in who you meet. Unless there is a problem, you will meet Ariel in the lobby for a formal photo. As far as the Princesses who visit the tables, we have always seen Cinderella and Belle (yellow dress), but the others have varied. We have seen Tiana, Rapunzel, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan and once we even saw Pochahontas, which we were told was very rare.
