Best time for Goofy's buffet?

[Bungle]

My soon to be 13 year old is totally excited to have breakfast/brunch at goofy's and it is a first for us so I'm unsure if it is better to go first thing in the morning or more towards lunch. We will be there during spring break so I'm sure the crowds will be high. Thanks

We will likely either go to Goofy's on our arrival night or our departure morning, in order to maximize time in the parks. As far as character interaction, I've heard the earlier the better.

So do you anticipate any character interaction if you go on your arrival night?

I prefer an earlier breakfast time (in other words, not too close to noon or beyond that, especially if it's on a day when Goofy's closes at 1 p.m. or something, because the characters will start to trickle out even if the guests are allowed to stay and finish eating).

Dinner was also good for character interaction when I was there in December. We got there at about 5:50-ish p.m., were seated before 6 p.m., and were visited by Cinderella, Belle, Pluto, Chip & Dale. Goofy was at the entrance, taking photos.

My favorite experience there was when we went early in the morning. The place was EMPTY and the characters were hanging around and giving LOTS of attention to everyone who came in. They were being silly with us as we were seated and then came around a couple of times while we were eating. It was much more than just the quick sign an autograph and snap a picture that you get at prime time.

Cool! That is what I was hoping to hear

Yes, I should have clarified that for brunch, the earlier the better is what I have heard. I have heard dinner is great regardless.

Our experience is completely opposite. We were some of the last people in the restaurant on a Sunday before brunch ended, and we had extra special attention from the characters because we were one of the few left. At one point, we had Chip, Goofy and the Mad Hatter all at our table together. We also saw Snow White, Dale, Donald and Pluto.

Thank you all for your answers! I can't wait to go, honestly I'm just excited my 13 year old is looking forward to it so much
