Purchasing character meals with a package

[Samandmom]

Is it worth it to add on a character meal with your package? It comes out to $48 per person for us to add it on. We are interested in Goofy's Kitchen so I guess that's a deluxe. How do I find out what the price for GK will be for a brunch in August to know if it's better to buy as a package or separate?
Thanks

The advantage of the package is that it includes tax and, more importantly, the tip.

For goofy, it would make sense to get the package voucher for dinner, I don't know what the brunch costs normally, so it may not be worth it.

No matter what, remember to separately reserve a time. The voucher is not the reservation.

Would you know if we could get other vouchers for only 2 out 5 in our party? My daughter and I will probably do Ariel's Grotto while the boys do Blue Bayou.

I've only bought vouchers from 3rd party sites, not Disney direct, and in that case, you just select how many vouchers you want.
I'm not sure how Disney sells them.


edit:
here is 3rd party site I used, you have to pick up the vouchers at the main gate ticket area (where you otherwise buy tickets):

Are tips expected for buffets like Minnie's? I'm feeling a little bad about a recent visit now...

Can you purchase the Storybook Teller's Sunday brunch via these vouchers?

Yeah, tips are expected for every meal including buffets. You have servers getting you drinks and checking on you, and they also share the tips with the people who are putting out the food. While it may not seem like they are doing a lot, remember they have many more tables than a server at a sit-down restaurant, so are busier.

I think Goofy's is $38 for dinner and $32 for lunch not counting tax and gratuity. I will know Sunday but that pricing is from 2015. I see the Disneyland website has is $38-59 for dinner! Glad I did not make a dinner reservation!

The vouchers are technically worth whatever the value on the voucher is, so you don't have to use these vouchers for one of the 5 character meal restaurants, although it is best used for a character meal in terms of value.

As far as storybook brunch, it can be used, but whether it fully covers the brunch, you may want to ask Disneyland cast member. The vouchers specifically mention breakfast, not brunch.
