How much more expensive is a character breakfast? We don't have any little ones so it might look weird haha but then agian When in Disney!

The first time my husband and I ate at The Crystal Palace was without kids. You won't look silly at all. You're only big kids anyway!!!

Character breakfasts tend to run roughly 30 dollars per adult (by the time you add on drinks and stuff). I love character meals & they're a great opportunity to get one on one time with the characters.
Also, you can make fastpass+ reservations for certain characters (Rapunzel/Cinderella & Anna/Elsa in Princess Fairytale Hall, Mickey Mouse & Tinker Bell at Magic Kingdom in Town Square, and a selection of Fab Five characters at the Epcot Character Spot) in advance, which can be a huge time saver and a guarantee to see those characters.

When they are sleeping. You can sneak up on them.
Great! Should I bring frying pan?
Maybe rather than doing an expensive meal we could do a character breakfast. I figure their both the same price when you add everything together!
Plus it's fun way to get pictures with our favorite characters!
Would we have to reserve that far in advance because as of now we have 68 days until we go!

Just keep checking. Some book up really quick, but people cancel all the time, as plans fizzle out.

If you don't like lines for some of the meet areas (Princess Fairytale Hall, Ariel's Grotto, etc.) try going during evening Extra Magic Hours as the line is often a bit shorter.

Extra hours nights are really great for this. Saw Anna, Elsa, Cinderella, and Snow White with just a 10-15 minute wait. It was a line filled with a bunch of shameless adults waiting in line to meet Disney Princesses, which was hilarious and pretty fun.
Of course character restaurants are pretty sweet for easy access to photos.
There are also these things, IDK what they are called, that are like surprise/secret character spots. I ran into one during my last trip (I had no idea what it was, would have walked past if my sister didn't stop me) in EPCOT between I think France and the UK pavilions. There were some characters I think that are rare to find and Ariel in her dress rather than just sitting on a rock as a mermaid. But these are apparently just random or random enough that catching them can be a challenge.
A fun character is Peter Pan, the actor usually gets really into it, same goes for Jack Sparrow.

I really really really want to meet Peter Pan! He looks so fun!
