We love to do a late breakfast, say 10:30 or later- then we are full until dinner. The best character meal we had was last year at Chef Mickey's. We had a late seating, and by the time we were ready to leave, we had the characters to ourselves! We got an awsome picture of our whole family with ALL the characters. Our kids tend to eat breakfast foods better too. We have never had a problem with the buffets being cold or not filled.
