Late ADR at character breakfasts: Advantage or disadvantage?

We would like to squeeze out as much as we could at AM EMH at MK before going to 'Ohana. The last ADR time available is 10:50 am.

By going to the last ADR time, do we miss out on anything? Will the characters be heading out the door midway through breakfast OR since earlier arriving guests will be leaving before we do, does the character per kid ratio goes up?
 
We had a late morning character breakfast at 'Ohana and it was GREAT. Other diners tend to hustle out and head to the parks as soon as they can, so by the time we were finished eating, we practically had the place - and the characters - all to ourselves!
I think we had the last seating available and I would definitely do this again.
 
Ohana late but we usually do a late CM on our checkout day and the experience is the same. The food is replenished regularly and the characters still have great interaction with our kids.
 
Back in 06 we did a very late breakfast at 1900 PF and it was terrible...the food was dried out and not being replenished...I said I would never do another late one again....but

Oct 08 we did a very late Cape May and March 09 a very late Chef Mickeys and they both worked out perfectly! The crowds thinned out alot and the food was great and being replenished up until closing time.
 
The advantage I see is that once the breakfast menu rolls over to the lunch menu, you can eat lunch for the same price and at the same place.
 
We've done the late reservation at Crystal Palace and it was great. Food quality was fine and we really felt that the characters were more visible and accessible because it was starting to slow down.

We also felt that another advantage was that a late breakfast meant we didn't have to worry about lunch and could easily get a midday snack and then dinner without being hungry.
 
In 06' we had a very late spur of the moment breakfast at Cape May Cafe. We were the ONLY table in there. Goofy sat with us throughout our entire meal and colored with our then 2 year old. :goodvibes
