I'm still not sure!
Vala your post was very interesting. I'm not so worried about the characters as we are still newbies and my kids would prefer to see the well known ones really. Although I can totally see how for regulars it would get boring to see the same ones every time.
As for the food, we went for dinner last February and I can only describe it as sumptuous! Has it gone downhill just in the last year? The character interaction was fantastic too. I found it definately worth the money we paid.
Would it be very bad to book both brunch and dinner and then decide later on when we know better our budget?
