Day 2 Part 2
So we each got a dole whip for a snack half way through the day.
I got the float
and DH the classic
That night we had ADR's at CRT. I was very excited about this meal and I made DH dress up with me for it! We ended up being early and didn't think we'd have time to ride anything before hand sooo we went to see if we could check in early. it was 6:55 and the lady said we can check in at 7.....so we waited the silly 5 mins and checked in. We were led into the waiting hall and got our photo with Cinderella. She was super cute and nice. She asked me if my prince was taking me to a ball because of my dress which was cute. We waited about 15-20 mins and then Cinderella welcomed our party!
It was cool climbing the big staircase into the dining room. it made me more excited. We were seated on the right aisle thats a level up from the window seats. We could still see out the window because we were just by the railing which was nice.
I was a little nervous about the food because I had heard some really bad reviews. Our server was pretty quick to come by and take our drink order and let me know the chef would be over shortly to discuss my dietary needs.
I had a diet coke and DH had a coke
I loved the goblets.
The chef came by and offered to make me pretty pasta and grilled veggies. which didn't send me. I asked if I had any other options. He said they could do a combo platter of all the different sides and such. This sounded best to me so i went with that. For App. my option was just the salad, the spring rolls I had seen on the menu online were not there?
DH got BLT Salad - Applewood Smoked Bacon, Tomato, Egg, Red Onion, and a wedge of Iceberg Lettuce drizzled with Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette
DH said this was very good.
and I had Castle Salad - Mixed Field Greens with Blue Cheese, Raspberries and Herb Gremolata tossed in Berry Vinaigrette
Now I had never had blue cheese.....I am weird when it comes to cheese and don't like all cheeses...but this was my only option and most meatless salads at Disney have blue cheese. I have to say the salad was very good and the cheese didn't both me at all! It was a nice fresh start to the meal.
The server came back to give me this...
which I was VERY happy about. I had planned to ask if they didn't give me one! haha and we got the better one in my opinion because half the restaurant got the light blue ones that don't say CRT! well....because I got a wand....I needed to request that DH got a sword because I knew he wouldn't! I think he was happy I did!
I have also heard of characters being weird here when you aren't a child...but everyone who came over to us was so nice and chatty. One weird thing about how they do the characters here....there was times when we had no one even near us and then other times we had three all together. so its not very organized like CP was.
This is my plate of random. Pretty much every side from all the meals.
I have to say I really enjoyed this! I loved having so many choices and it was really good. I was happily surprised.
DH got Lemon Lavender Chicken - on Mashed Potatoes served with Wilted Spinach and a Chicken Jus
DH LOVED this. he devoured it.
the interaction with Ariel was the best. Our wedding was beached themed with little mermaid details. She was so nice and asked me all about our wedding and even wanted to see pictures! She spent a lot of time with us. It was very special.
I really love the theming of this restaurant. it is so special to be in the castle and all the cool details
for dessert we both got Chocolate Cream Cheese Buckle - A single layer of Chocolate Cake stuffed with Cream Cheese topped with Créme Chantily and finished with Créme Anglaise Sauce
I had been looking forward to this and it did not disappoint. Yum Yum.
We had a wonderful time at CRT. The service was great, our waiter was very attentive without being annoying. The characters were great and so was the food. I guess this place is hit or miss? We will def be going back, maybe for breakfast next time!
