Character Meals: Lunch OR Dinner

I looked at the menus, lunch and dinner seem to have the same food. Is this true? Does dinner have different/more food to justify the higher cost?

If the food is the same, it would seem it is better to do lunch. Agree?

If I decide to do the DDP, than price isn't a factor (if food is same). Which time is better? Which will have a better character experience? Which time is busier?

They usually have some extras at dinner, like carving stations and such. We actually like CP for breakfast best and getting in before the park opens.

Some extras, like...?

Does it justify the cost difference?

How's the atmosphere diffrence between lunch & dinner?

For a character meal, I'd chose lunch over dinner for two reasons; lower price and you're still "fresh" rather than being tired-out near the end of the day.

Well, at one of the buffets, I can't remember which, they had steak on the carving station that was offered at dinner and not at lunch. To us, it doesn't really matter since there's so much other food at buffets. For us, we prefer heavier meals at dinner instead of lunch. We didn't really notice any atmosphere differences between the two.
