I'm not sure what you mean by brief, but I thought the interaction was pretty good. We go every year and were just there in Oct. Some of the princesses stay and talk and interact really well with the kids, while a couple of them posed with the kids for pictures and talked a little then left. Cinderella taught my kids how to hold their hands in "princess pose," plus she really went out of her way to get to know each girl a little. Belle, on the other hand, made a pretty short visit before moving on to the next table. Overall, it was so much fun and my girls keep talking about it as the best thing we did on our 5-day trip.
