We will be 6 adults so characters are really important. What is important is the food. So which place do you think has the better breakfast offerings?

Thanks.

We loved, loved, loved the Captains grille. They had an eggs Benedict and waffles that were divine.
 
If characters do not matter, then I say do the Captain's Grill. We will be eating here for the first time for lunch in December and I have read many posts about how good it is. Cape May Cafe for breakfast is our favorite character meal, but we love the character interaction, plus we have kids so the characters are a big deal to us. The food there is the typical character breakfast buffet with Mickey waffles, and the traditional breakfast fare.
 
I've eaten at both and they were both great. However, are you sure all 6 of you are going to want buffet? If so, I thought Cape May Cafe had the better buffet. However, if you're not so sure, Captain's Grill is the better choice. I got the buffet there, which was still very good, but both times, my dining partner got table service off the menu. One time, I was with DH and he was amazed at how large his omelet was. When I went with Mom, she loved her breakfast yogurt with fruit.
 

I thought Captain's Grille was menu service for breakfast unless it changed??

We always stay at YC. One character breakfast at Cape May per trip but the other breakfasts are room service or Captain's Grille. My ds is a good eater and loves their buffet while I always order from the menu. It is great service and good portions. Their waffles are way better than the Mickey ones at Cape May. If characters are not important to you then go there.

Am I correct by stating that even with the buffet, you could order eggs the way that you want them from the kitchen i.e sunny-side up? pirate:
 
yes, even while eating the buffet you can order eggs your way, or, as my son did one, chocolate chip pancakes rather than the plain ones on the buffet; a smile and a tip go a long way!
 
We ate at Cap. Grill yesterday morning (first time). We enjoyed this breakfast. For the food and the cost, this is the best way to go. We ALL don't like doing buffet, so this meets a family's needs if you have non-buffet eaters in the group. The "guys" seem to enjoy the buffet and it's choices. We also have a latose intolerant grandchild, and her needs were meet too. Service was a little slow, but since it was our first time, we'll go back. JUST A warning....we had an ADR for 9:10AM and were seated at our time. But walk ins were being told of a 30-40 minute wait!! This is not the norm for Cap. Grill (at least for lunch), so breakfast does require an ADR, at least the night before. Alot of business folks were not too happy that they could not just grab a table. (there was alot of conferences going on at the bw/yc/bc area this weekend while we were there.)

BTW -- we would like to try Cape May buffet, but the grand daughters do not like character meals (except princesses), so most are out -- which is OK for me, as I try to avoid buffets myself--we find the food better when ordering a la carte.
