I agree with honeymom. It really depends on which characters you like. CM has Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dale, with Goofy, Donald, and Pluto wandering around sometimes. CP has characters from Winnie-the-Pooh. We did CM in January and loved it...the interaction with the characters was fine to me and with four children under 7 this was the perfect place. We got to meet the Mouse and didn't even have to stand in line!!! Food was normal buffet items with the kids getting to decorate their own cupcakes. I must be honest and say this is the only character meal we've done...so I don't have alot of experience. We're trying Tony's breakfast in November (it's taking the place of CP during renovation) and dinner at CRT.
