Don't know about the recent characters, as we were there a few years ago - but the food was good! Nice buffet with carving stations, and some interesting selections. And the kid's buffet was good as well, with all the "usual suspects".
I haven't been there, but I think dinner characters are Cinderella, Prince Charming and Suzy and Perla (?) who are mice? Also, if I remember right the Fairy Godmother is in the lobby to greet people.
You are correct about the characters. We loved the Gala Feast. It was so much more relaxed than the either of the princess breakfast. The food was very good and the children's buffet was wonderful. We are definately doing it again on our April trip. One of the nicest things about the characters is that they come around more than once! We saw Prince Charming and the mice every few minutes. It was really nice having the Prince visit. It makes the dinner very special, since this is the only place you can really interact with a prince. Our servers were really great, too.
