It is expensive. Then 10 and up is adult price. My 10yr doesn't eat 32 worth of eggs and waffles. I've done the breakfast and dinner. I think it's just the experience. You do have to catch the characters. They only stay outside for select times. It's hard if your sightseeing during the day. Considering I'm at Disney in Hawaii, I'm already expecting it to be expensive. We will be eating 1-2 meals a day in the room. That helped me justify the cost. I will say the dinner wasn't worth it. 50 plus dollars for 10 to eat. He mainly ate from the kids section.
