Character Buffet Price Differences

[LifeWithLouie]

Well... We're heading back to Disney!! Woo Hoo!!!!

In the past, we have sometimes gotten the Dining Plan, but usually not. We are now in the process of figuring out which we're going to do. We are leaning towards getting the Disney plan for one reason; character dining buffets. We will be bringing two 2-year-old, twin, Disney-character-megafans, so character dining experiences are a MUST!

Of course you know that character meals can get pricey... but to choose a dining plan? Hmmmmmm.
We are charting out our dining wish list and checking it against WDWInfo and Disney park listings to see if a dining plan makes financial sense for us.

I am confused ahout something....
Using Crystal Palace as an example, both sites list the pricing as this:

Breakfast (Updated: 12/17)
Entree/Main Course

• 
  All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Breakfast Buffet - Buffet/ Family Style, Character Dining. Prices range from $35.00- $59.99 per adult and $15.00- $34.99 per Child

Lunch / Dinner (Updated: 12/17)
Entree/Main Course

• 
  All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Lunch Buffet - Buffet/ Family Style, Character Dining. Prices range from $35.00- $59.99 per adult and $15.00-$34.99 per Child

So what Is the difference in pricing? Why are some adult breakfasts $35 and some $59 (same with lunches or dinners)? Is that a seasonal thing... or a location in the room thing?

There is a sticky thread for this that details the pricing for each restaurant and each meal
