I think it just depends on what you like to eat. I am not a big lover of breakfast foods so I prefer dinner. However, breakfast is cheaper which is a plus. You cannot go wrong with either really, the food is certainly good at both and the characters are even regardless of which meal you go to. I am also one of those people who prefers to do a character meal early in the trip, I am always so depressed our last morning (especially if we are departing that day) I am not in the mood to do anything but feel sad! But some people really love to end the trip that way. So again, its just a personal preference type thing. Have fun, we love Goofy's!
