we had our character breakfast in the Disney Village - I can't remember the nsame of the restaurant but it was the one closest to the Hotel New York.
Anyway - it was an absolute farce - the food itself was ok, standard breakfast buffet, but the characters came out into a large room and were instantly mobbed. You were not told to wait at your table, like you are in WDW, and so all the kids (and parents) just pushed in = it was not pleasant and my dd opted not to visit the characters as she didn't like the scrum - the only one who came to our table was Gideon (from the Rescue Rangers) who we had never heard of, I guess noone was that bothered about meeting her.
On the way back to the airport we spoke to a family who ate at Walts and they said it was excellent, so I would try that next time.
We also tried the character dinner in the Disneyland Hotel (I think it's in Innoventions) and the character interaction in here was excellent with the characters coming to each table, and Eeyore actually sat at our table for ages. My only concern (about from a birthday cake mix-up) was that the buffet was rather fancy for my tastes (lots of raw seafood), and so I paid £20+ for dinner and then ate chicken nuggets of the kids buffet.
