Advice on CRT

[Jmljasmine]

My daughter really wants to meet Jasmine. I thought she would enjoy CRT but I understand princesses aren't back? I'm not sure I want to pay that price for no princesses. My dining reservation booking day though is Wednesday. Do I book and cancel if it doesn't come back? What do you recommend?
And where else can Jasmine be seen if dining isn't an option?

If you're going to Epcot, she might meet there. I know she was doing a distanced meet when we were there in January.

Yes, she meets in Morocco.

There were no princesses 3 weeks ago. Not even Cinderella the Saturday night we went and we were there two hours.

Have we seen characters return to any restaurants recently? It seems like this isn’t going to happen as long as people are still filling the restaurants without character interactions. There’s no profit incentive for Disney to hire extra staff to have character meals when dining reservations are selling out without them.

We are in the same boat. I have two daughters and booked it for our August trip. I will definitely be cancelling if they do not return. Anyone know the window for cancellation without a charge?

I'd like to know this too. We are going Aug 14, you?

Yes, she meets in Morocco.

When we were there in April, there was a schedule available for the times she would be out in Morocco. I found it in the MDE Epcot attractions list.

Is that visible now? I looked and couldn't find it just now but that may be because this version of MDE has me completely confused.

Last year, we went to Garden Grill, and all the characters were roaming around. We chose to eat there because we hadn't tried it before, and were pleasantly surprised to see some favorites.

No Just tried and I am not seeing character times anywhere in the app. Bummer. I know it was in there before because I decided to circle back at one point to see only to find the spot empty and then found her appearance times. Maybe going from appearance to traditional meet n greet changed what is published ahead of time? Sorry. Maybe someone will chime in with some up to date info on how to catch her.

We also used to see her meet near the flying carpets in Adventure Land. I'm not sure if that's still a thing?

Same for us! It was our first time there and it was awesome!

I'm booked for Breakfast at CRT July 11th and was told Cinderella was there

 

[Jmljasmine]

Well, turns out I couldn't get a reservation that would work anyway. We can't afford lunch/dinner and getting too early would hit up good ride time that we would need genie + to make up for. (And adding that cost for my party on top of CRT would also be out of budget).

Yes just Cinderella. The others haven’t returned and there is no word on that changing.

I found it!!!!!

On MDE touch the upside down teardrop at the bottom (next to the home symbol). The map function comes up....touch filter and pick EPCOT then touch apply. Touch the little down arrow at the top and pick Characters. Touch Show List at the top, Scroll down to Princess Jasmine. Select her and the times will come up.

Awesome! Thanks. That was a bit tricky but great to know how to find it.

We are also going Aug 14. My understanding is that Cinderella meets downstairs (like before the pandemic) but the circulating princesses aren't back yet. It's the same cost as Be Our Guest which has a circulating Beast but no princesses. We will go either way, but of course, I am hoping princesses will be back by August.
