[i.love.tigger]

i am going on 6th may and have booked a late lunch at auberge and also lucky nugget. can anyone confirm it is still 22euros and 10 euros lunch menu at auberge, this seems a bit cheap? and is it 30euros and 15euros lunch at lucky nugget. thanks

No Auberge is much more expensive than that. more like 55 euros per adult. Hang on, I'll see if I can find exact price.

 

[britchic4]

Auberge is 55 euros per adult and 20 euros per child. It's expensive for sure, but it is proper French food, 3 courses with bread, and includes a cocktail (alcoholic or non alcoholic) and all water, wine, coffee. Also includes a little present for the children at the end. Plus of course Suzy & Perla and probably 3 princesses and 1 prince visiting your table.
Only you can decide whether that's worth paying for you. We went in February and it was without doubt the best food we had in the park, plus my daughter was overjoyed to see the princesses. We are going again in May.

Yes the price is €55 for adults and €20 for children.

Have a look at the reviews here from the restaurant faq

Id say you got your prices mixed up ,maybe switch the price you have for lucky nugget to auberge but and that will probably be ther price in pounds not euros.

You have got the right price for the Lucky Nugget - its 30 euro per adult, 15euro per child.

i looked on the dlrp food review page and it showed a lunch menu for auberge which was fairly cheap then an evening menu which was the more expensive price. does this not apply anymore.

The only option at Auberge now is the princess meal - this runs from lunchtime right through until the restaurant closes each day.

Auberge is only open in the evening in high season. The princess meal is at lunchtime at the moment, don't know what will happen in July and August.

We had lunch there last week and although it was pricey, I have to say that we (esp the kids) enjoyed it. The kids didn't get a present at the end though?! Or did they forget to give one to us? lol.

It was nice that we could just sit down, eat and wait for them to come to the table, take time to chat to them rather than queue up for AGES to see them outside the Castle and you get to see only two (or sometimes one) and it's all quite rushed. There were Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella (she doesn't walk around as you see her as you enter the restaurant), Ariel & Prince Eric, Snow White and Suzy & Perla.

The only 'cheeky' thing that they did (well, we thought it was cheeky anyway) was as you enter the restaurant, you (and them) take pics with Cinderella. Later on, they'll put their photos in a nice cardboard thing (which says 'souveneir' on the front) and leave it on your table without saying anything. No note, nothing either. So we thought 'is that really for us? Or do we have to buy it?'. Obviously we realised that it couldn't have been free. True enough, a few mins later, the waiter would come round and ask if we wanted to buy the photos for 26 Euro. We gave them back to him as we already had a few shots in our camera.

Ah, they've obviously changed a few things since we came in February. Then Cinderella was walking around with her prince (but you still had the same no. of princesses in total) and no souvenir photo! It is a bit of a cheek, since the meal is pricy enough and you can take pics anyway!
My DS got a knight's helmet, and my DD a magic wand. Not expensive things, but they were happy with them. If they've changed that too they will be disappointed.

thanks for the info guys, i will keep my booking, my daughter will be so upset if we dont eat there, it is expensive but not something you do everyday.

 

[mummyal]

Aww Louise would have loved a wand! She has a couple of wands but I'm sure a wand from Disney would've been very special lol.

 

[hildasmuriel]

Wow - that photo thing is really new! We ate there 2 weeks ago today and there was no snapshot-at-the-front-with-Cinderella then. It was as Britchic4 described - Cinderella was walking round tables - boys got helmets and girls got wands before they left too. My dtr may be 10 but she still loved getting her Auberge wand.

I have to say that I dislike the "photograph" thing intensely, they did a similar thing when we ate at Planet Hollywood and I'm such a sucker I bought them, and the ones from Buffalo Bill's. I just feel obliged to have them.

 

[Ware Bears]

I'm not overkeen on the photo thing either. They do it a lot at WDW so guess they're testing the water over here.

We did Auberge at Easter and we all loved it. There was no photo thing and the kids got the helmet and wand.
I'd just like to give you a tip though. We originally booked a late lunch 2:00pm but I got talking to the concierge at the Sequoia and she advised me to change the booking as she said the princesses leave at 2:30pm and we may not have got to see much of them and ended up dissapointed. She said the earlier bookings were the best so I took her advice and swapped it to 12.00pm. I'm glad we did, we were able to request a table by the dance floor so we got a brilliant view of the dancing and because there aren't as many tables in that part of the restaurant it was really relaxing. We were there for 2 hrs and weren't rushed in the slightest. We also got to see the princesses come out twice.

We also had a reservation at 12 and saw the princesses 3 times in fact (must have been there a long time!). The last time we were just about to go and understandably enough they didn't really stop at our table.
