Captain's Grille vs Cape May Cafe

[¡WDW!girlrox(:]

So we are going to the Yacht Club in August and I would like to know what are the pros/cons of each restaurant.
We have been to Captain's Grille before and loved it, but I like the idea of a character breakfast.
TIA!

We've been to both multiple times, the latest being July 2009 for both. We like both and will eat at both on future visits. Here are the pros & cons between the two as I see them.

Cape May Cafe:
Pros - Characters (if you like them), more items to choose from on the buffet, more upbeat atmosphere.
Cons - Characters (if you don't like them), must eat from the buffet, more noise, more crowded, more expensive, harder to get a reservation at a late date.

Captain's Grille:
Pros - No characters (if you don't like them), less expensive, choice of buffet or menu order, less crowded, quieter, easier to get a reservation at a late date.
Cons - No characters (if you like them), fewer buffet items, less upbeat atmosphere.

Pros Cape May - Buffet with lox and bacon...... what else do you need to know?

Okay, okay so maybe that was a bit over stated. Captain's Grill is more reasonable, but I can do a lot of damage on a buffet and even though we don't care about characters, I like the control you have in a buffet over the experience.
