Need advice - character breakfasts - too many?

[MECH8T7]

Thanks everyone - I think one a year is great if you do plan to go every year - but we are not really thinking we will be back - guess that is why we want to do as much as we can.

We're going in a few weeks for just over a week. Our first time as a family, so I don't have any experiences to share. However, I've just been fine-tuning our PSs over the past coulple of days and the character meals I've set up for our family are CRT (breakfast), Chef Mickeys (breakfast), and Crystal Palace (Easter brunch). Like you, I do not know when we will be there next and I tried to resist the temptation to book more character meals. My concern was that booking too many meals would interfere with touring the parks or limit our flexibility in enjoying the parks. When I first started planning, I thought 8 nights would be tons of time. But, as I started to do a rough day-by-day itinerary, I started finding that meals I was originally planning were starting to take over the daily plan. For example, breakfasts may prevent you from taking advantage of Extra Magic Hours at one of the parks.

Thanks everyone - I am going to drop the AK breakfast - I am sure we will see Donald Goofy and Pluto elsewhere. Am also wondering if we should drop the princess storybook breakfast - it is a lunch breakfast (was going to use it for breakfast/lunch) but I see some similar characters. That would leave a Chef Mickey (11am), Castle (8am - not early entry day) and Crystal (8am-this is an early entry day). I wonder if MK is open early on the friday will an 8am not be good? If the park opens at 9 does that mean guest are in at 8am? If so then maybe I should change that one to more like 10:30? That happens to be a day when the kids are going to the tea party lunch at GP so the timing would be ok.

Opinions for this?
Thanks - Helen
