PF will have made to order omeletes and eggs, if that is a difference maker to you. Also, they will have their famous strawberry soup out for breakfast. Cape May has KK donuts, or used to. But they're not fresh off the line.
The standard characters at PF are Alice, Mad Hatter, Pooh, either Tigger or Eeyore, and Mary Poppins in the lobby. As with any face character, they might swap someone out for illness/other needs. But these are the standard characters.
We stay at the GF and PF is our standard departure breakfast. An 8:00 first seating can't be beat.
