We did the sun. breakfast one, Honestly our ds were teens and we only went for the food and we were staying at the swan, so it wasnt out of our way. There were only 2 characters and their handler. They did the usual stuff, visit tables,autograhs and photos etc. They might have been like 20 minutes at a time etc. If you are going more for the characters I would probably pick a meal that had more of them to get your moneys worth from pictures, autographs etc. The food is great by the way, many,many choices.
