Adults only, do you go to the special meals?

[Bete]

I feel silly but I really want to go (I'm in my fifties) to the storybook breakfast at Norway's Akerhaus. The same is true for the breakfast at AK-Breakfastoraus. I've planned a few character meals, too.

Am I just kidding myself? I feel I may be taking an opportunity away from a little one to see the princesses, etc. I feel selfish to a degree.

I will not go to the Cinderella breakfast for the above reasons. I know that's very popular for the young ones.

Please share your thoughts.

Don't feel silly. DH & I are 31 and 36 with no kids and we've done character meals and really enjoyed them. I never thought I'd see my DH hugging Piglet and loving it!!
This trip we're going to the ice cream social, Breakfastasaurous, and the LTT on MNSSHP on 10/27. It's a great way to see the characters and they've always given us lots of attention.
Disney is for all ages, go and enjoy yourself.

I say go and have a good time! My husband and I go alone all the time and we sometimes go to character meals - including breakfast at Cindy's! The characters are always great to us and we have a wonderful time. Nobody even seems to notice or think anything about it. No matter where you decide to eat, you won't be the only adults without kids - I promoise you that! If you want to eat with Mickey and Minnie - or Cinderella - you definately should!

Go and have fun. I did before I had my little one, though I never did the Cindy's one for the same reasons you didn't.
Now for my true confession, I am just as excited as Sophia to have breakfast in the castle. I hope I get in.

We're doing an adult's only trip in Dec and I have a PS for Donald's Breakfastosaurus on 12/8.

I don't feel silly, nor should you! Go and enjoy yourself and make sure that you get plenty of pictures with the characters....

Look I am a very big kid. Not grown yet at 41.... I always enjoy eating at Chef Mickey's and all the meals. Enjoy life, your only here for a short time. When you give up being a kid at heart, what is left? Go Go Go. I always have a blast.......

And don't feel you are taking the place of some child........you're just doing things YOU didn't get to do as a child.

Like the others have said,

DEFINITELY GO!

We've gone to a lot of character meals & we don't have kids.

I know this is going to start a lot of trouble for saying this here, but, gosh darn it, I'm gonna say it anyway. Sometimes I think that some of these parents who take their kids to the character meals are just using their kids so that they [the parents], too, can see the characters! I've seen many a parent clowning around with the characters!

Personally, I really enjoy watching other folks kids have a grand ole time with the characters. I think you will enjoy it & if you have your heart set on it, IMHO, You should go & enjoy!

P.S. Please say "Hi" to the Cinderella & the other Princesses for me.

 

[Krissalee]

I have to agree with the above posters! GO! And Enjoy!!!!!

DH and I are 29 (me) and 32 (him), without kids. We have had breakfast at Cindy's and lunch at Garden Grill - we loved them both! Be assured, there are more character meals in our future, too!

We love it.

Don't feel silly and don't feel selfish! WDW is for everyone! DH and I always do one character breakfast each trip (we don't have kids). Earlier this month we did Donald's Breakfastasaurous (sp?) and had a great time! The characters came to our table, posed for pictures, etc. It was great! We never felt out of place or silly. Go and enjoy!

 

[Bete]

I'm there and I love all the comments. I'm a kid at heart and I hope I always stay that way.

I have 4 special meals already set with PS.

 

[WDWCRAZY32]

Remember what Roy said at the dedication. "The Magic Kingdom is a place where the YOUNG AT HEART can laugh and play and learn together". Think like a KID!!!!!! Enjoy.

 

[KCritter]

You're always a Princess, no matter what your age! Have a wonderful time!

We (DH & I) usually do one character meal each trip, this time we're going to LTT.

 

[madcoco]

Go and enjoy!Just don't start any food fights and be sure to eat your veggies

 

[travelitis]

I've never done a character meal without my kids, but I say go and enjoy them. I totally understand about Cindy's, and as a mother of 3 (4, 8, 10) soon to be participating in the Cindy's 3 minute telethon, I thank you. I would eat in the castle for other meals with my dh sans the kids and head for the other princess breakfast if I wanted to see the girls.

IMHO if they get the logistics working smoothly that Princess breakfast will make it past Dec. I'm glad I got my PS as soon as they opened the books for Nov., because when I called back to change it, the availability was practically nonexistent over the week of Thanksgiving.

 

[MicMin]

We do not have children and we always eat at a couple of the the character meals each trip. Go and have a great time!
