Is it worth it? Since we campers aren't offered the free dining, it's all out of pocket, which I just realized will be around $200 for the 4 of us
OK, let me start by saying that we are in love with FW and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else unless it were only for a week or less (currently booked for 11 days this October) and huge fans of character meals. We already have 6 planned for this trip.
So, last trip we did the Royal Banquet in Epcot and it was really nice. The food was a little "weird" but the experience was enjoyable. Also, DD was just getting into the princesses then (22 mos) so we used this time as "picture" time so as to not stand in the long lines.
Fast forward over a year now (DD will be 3 next month and DS is 6) and DD is TOTALLY PRINCESS . I just got off the phone with Disney, scheduling her at the BBB before lunch at CRT...then I started to realize what I had done.
Now, we've been to Disney countless times but never done the CRT with or without kids. I'm thinking this might be a great age (little, totally into the princess thing for now, and DS is also still young enough to be impressed we are actually eating "in" Cinderella's castle) to try this.
Any thoughts out there? Is it completely worth it to bite the bullet and go when it seems it might be the perfect time? Next October when we go, we'll have to stay in a resort due to time restrictions and we'll hopefully have free dining then...should I wait a year...will she "outgrow" the whole princess thing?
Help...any thoughts/experiences???? Thanks
