We went first when DS was 4. We didn't talk much about our plans other than we were having breakfast (and lunch and dinner) with Pooh and the gang. He also met Pluto, Mickey and Minnie. This was also the year he declared his belief in Santa.
He announced at the beginning they were people in costumes. It doesn't seem to change his excitement level. He sometimes asks if they are real and I let him take the lead in talking through his belief. I think he believes in the magic of Disney. (And Santa. Though I think he's totally conning me on Santa.) Oddly, his belief in the tooth fairy seems true.
His awe and his desire to see the characters doesn't seem to be impaired by his belief system. I will say we don't do the face characters, mostly because he hasn't seen any of those movies.
