1900 Park Fare or CRT-what would you do?

[amy-momofthree]

I currently have an ADR for breakfast at CRT in January. DD6's favorite princess is Cinderella so I naturally went with CRT but now I am second guessing myself. Is Cinderella only in the lobby? Does she mingle with guests? Does she mingle at 1900 PF?

I am thinking of switching our breakfast at CRT to a dinner at 1900 PF. We are not on the dining plan and a breakfast at CRT is a LOT more than dinner at Park Fare.

We do have a breakfast ADR at Akershus Princess dining so will she most likely see the same princesess there as CRT?

Which one is the better experience/ food/ and face time with Cinderella? CRT or Park Fare?

Thanks!

She does mingle at 1900 dinner Cinderella, stepsisters, prince, and stepmother were all there in June. It was a great time!

We love them both. At 1900 you will see her walking around. You won't get much more personal time. You will get a better photo of Cindy at CRT. Also, eating in the castle is kind of special on its own. Personally, I prefer 1900. My DD6 prefers CRT (it wasn't even close).

We just did the 1900 PF dinner a couple weeks ago and we were kind of disappointed. We have done CRT twice in the past so decided to try this for a change but it was completely different and not really what I thought it was going to be. While the stepsisters and stepmother were good actors, their act was slightly off putting to us and not a lot of fun. We also missed having the other princesses there. If we go again, we're going back to CRT.

I forgot to mention that while the price for CRT is higher, your picture is included and we ended up buying a pic at 1900 PF and it wasn't even anything great. I can't remember how much the pic was but I'm sure someone here knows. Anyway, just something else to consider when making your decision.

Thanks! I'll keep CRT. I forgot about the pictures being included so that is a good value

For what it's worth the dinner (actual food) at 1900 Park Fare is much better, we think, then CRT.

We did both CRT & 1900 in Dec08. When I asked my daughters which one they wanted to do for our upcoming May11 trip, they picked 1900. They LOVED the stepsisters. And my older daughter got to go out and dance with Prince Charming . I will say that when we did CRT, I found better value in saving my TS credits and paying OOP.

You may also get another Cinderella sighting if you do Akershus. She seems to be in the regular rotation of princesses there.
