We don't usually do QS breakfast. Don't find them to be a good value. Instead I bring various items the kids can eat while walking to the bus stops and waiting for the bus each morning. It keeps them from being starving while we start our day. Then we eat lunch at like 11 a.m. Its right when everyone starts to get pretty hungry having had a smaller breakfast and it is also before QS locations start to get busy with lunch crowds. Since I also have 5 growing boys and 3 growing girls, we find the less crowded times much easier to find seating for all of us!
We usually end up doing a table service or two that is during the breakfast meal times too and is generally a buffet or family type meal. For those I pick times close to 11 as well. It ends up being more of a brunch. It allows us to enjoy breakfast foods, which we all really like, but keeps us from needing to eat lunch as well.
Did you want to know which locations had to most breakfast food or food for the other meals as well?

QS options for breakfast are pretty limited. It's usually the QS location at your resort, Starbucks & Joffrey's in park, and usually 1 or 2 QS locations in park. That many mouths I'd look into bringing/shipping/buying stuff and doing breakfast in the room. You won't miss much as most of the QS options are fairly similar, waffles, eggs, bacon, etc.

I concur with the above. You won't find a particularly bounteous (by which I mean, "sized for a growing boy") CS breakfast anywhere -- just a bagel, muffin, cereal, or in some cases (e.g., resort food courts) an expensive breakfast "platter" (costing around $10) with a scoop of powdered eggs, a couple of pieces of sausage or bacon, and/or a couple of Mickey waffles or a slice of French toast. When we stayed at CBR a couple of weeks ago, the food court also had things like design-your-own yogurt parfaits, but again, none of it was served in large portions. If you want a large breakfast at a CS (e.g., a "bounty platter" or omelette ($10) with a beverage (minimum $3) and a fruit cup or yogurt ($4), plan on paying a minimum of $17 per person. (For that price, your money would be better spent at a non-character, an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, like the highly-rated Trail's End at Fort Wilderness, which comes in at around $20/adult and $10/child.)
To avoid the time and expense of eating breakfast at a Disney eatery, we always bring all of our breakfast foods from home -- Pop Tarts, mini cereal boxes, fruit strips (or fresh or dried fruit - whole apples and oranges, craisins), and granola bars. Other items that would pack well include flavored oatmeal packets (you can heat water by running it through the coffeemaker without any coffee in it), bagels, English muffins, cheese sticks etc. - and if you're staying in a villa with a kitchen, the sky is the limit -- toaster waffles, frozen breakfast sandwiches, hashbrowns, etc. would all be within reach. The foodstuffs we bring take up about half of a carryon suitcase, but that's okay -- that gives us enough space to bring souvenirs back on the return trip.
Since we're generally in a standard resort room and don't have access to anything beyond a coffeemaker and fridge, I also pack disposable bowls, spoons and napkins, and we buy milk for the cereal from the resort general store and drink coffee from the in-room coffeemaker. Not only do we have plenty to eat for breakfast, but eating in the hotel room is faster and more efficient if we want to arrive at a park for rope drop. Just a thought!

In the Magic Kingdom, we have been going to Sleepy Hollow Snacks for breakfast. They have a couple different waffle sandwiches that are good and fairly large. The one with nutella and fruit is good as well as the version with egg, prosciutto and cheese. I don't have the menu in front of me, but I believe they were about $9-10/each.
Only negative is this place is not real fast. They have one (maybe 2) people taking orders and a small number of people inside working. It is clearly not designed for large volumes of people...

If you are heading over to Hollywood Studios you should definitely try the Starring Rolls Cafe. Very tasty Quick Service breakfast items.

We usually stay at the All Star Resorts, so we do the QS breakfasts at the resort. Other breakfast places we do are normally Table Service that require reservations.

We also have only done QS breakfasts at the resorts. Since the dining hall usually opens early we can get breakfast out of the way before the parks open so we can focus on rides when the park opens, not food.
Also, if you received the refillable mugs you can do breakfast at the resort and save $$$ on park beverage prices. IMO, when it comes down to it resort food prices are going to give you the best bang for your buck. When your feeding 5 kids every little bit adds up.
