Let the questions begin.....

We are coming to CA for a family trip and I am so under-prepared. I have been to Disney World over 40 times but only Disneyland 5 times (one day trips when I lived in San Diego). I am reading as much as I can but this is my first of what I can assure you will be many sets questions:
*Has anyone ever used Ares travel to purchase their tickets? The prices seem really good and would allow us to go in upon arrival instead of having to wait until the next day and would give us an extra day in the park.
*I am looking at the Minnie character breakfast. Does this seem like a good way to see a good amount of characters. We are 5 adults and only 1 child so we will probably not stand in line for too many autographs.
*Any advice or suggestions would be so much appreciated. Like I said, I am reading as much as I can but those of you that are "been there, done that" experts are so much better than the books.
THANKS!!!!

1. Many here have used Area travel and had great experiences. I used them for Legoland tickets a couple years ago with no problems whatsoever.

2. We were at Minnie's breakfast a couple weeks ago and saw 11 characters! This is easily the most we have seen at any of the character meals. We like to go to the last seating time after a magic morning if the parks open early, since we are usually ready for a break by then. If the park opens at 9 or even later, we go with the earliest available which is usually about an hour before park opening.

I hope you have an amazing trip!

We have bought from Ares several times for the exact reasons you cite. Better prices and getting the tix ahead avoids having to wait in line to buy the tix upon arrival. Ares is reputable.
