We did a 10:30 seating a couple of weeks ago and it was great. The place was half full at first and then kept clearing out, the characters spent lots of time with us, we got multiple visits and our waitress spent lots of time chatting with us and giving us some recommendations for our trip to Huntington Beach the next day. The buffet was also fully stocked and fresh. We were the last people to leave and we all agreed that was a great time to go. I tend to like either the early or latest seatings at character meals.
