I had booked CM for breakfast because of the characters. The only reason I didn't do CP is because I didn't think the kids would relate to the characters. The past few days my DD (2 1/2) is getting in to Pooh. I am thinking about changing to CP for breakfast or dinner. We leave in three weeks, help!
We went when my DD was 2 yrs 10 months and she loved character meals. If you can, I would say keep CM for breakfast and add CP for lunch or dinner somewhere. I haven't done CM for breakfast (we did dinner and probably won't go back, but I have heard breakfast is great), but we've been to CP twice in the past year for lunch and we loved it both times.
We've only done breakfast at Crystal Palace and we love it -- it is our must do every year. We won't do lunch or dinner buffets at Disney after two really bad experiences at H&V and Chef Mickey's was only so so last time. If you can find a slot for breakfast, do it!
Our nieces age 6 and 12.5 loved the CP breakfast, not just the characters but the food too! We all had a great time and would not hesitate to go back there again
