We did this earlier in the year (late May) and it was great. We did the Breakfast . You get into the park before it opens. They have a special entrance and you get priority parking. You go in and get your food. They then have the characters (Big Bird, Elmo, Bert, Ernie and Cookie Monster) do several little songs on a stage. They then take you picture with the characters which you can purchase (I think it was $20 for a 5X7, a 4X6 and 4 wallets). When we went, they took the picture with all 5 characters, but I don't think that is the norm as the announced that they would take pictures with some while the others went to the tables and the picture with all of them seemed to be a last minute change. The characters will then go to the tables to see and interact with the kids. They danced with some of them. Cookie monster came to DS and tried to steal his milk. We had a table right in the middle in the front and it was great, but they seating is platformed, so there shouldn't be a bad seat in the place. There was seating for probably 25 or 30 families, but there were only 10 or so when we were there. I would suggest the breakfast because you have to purchase the tickets ahead of time, but the other meals you could get at the park on that day. We really enjoyed it and thought it was a great deal for what you got (VIP parking, character interaction and a meal).
