We did not want to haul them to the parks with us, since they are not able to be used there. So basically we threw down a few sodas every morning before hitting the parks (waiting 3 minutes in between fills) and then had to run them back to the room. Not sure it was worth it.
Went a couple months ago. It was what I would expect for a breakfast buffet. I'm not picky and it's hard to screw up eggs,bacon and Mickey waffles. Pricey, yes, but you are paying for the characters, and we got good interactions with Jake and Sofia.
