Dinner is not a character meal. So if you want to see princesses, you need to do breakfast or lunch.

The character experience will be the same. Just check the menus and decide which one sounds better to your group.

Your boys won't appreciate it. But the girls will never forget it!

I always prefer lunch. Breakfast for us is usually a small and quick carb meal. Having a huge breakfast isn't for us. So spending a fortune on a meal we can do for under $5 at the hotel doesn't work. I really like the tri-tip they serve at lunch.....though for the price, I wish they'd give me a lot more.

I really like the food there, but have only been at lunch. I've always had good luck with the tri-tip and the dessert plate is yummy! I'd recommend going for lunch, as it will give you an air conditioned area to go to in the heat of the afternoon. If you do breakfast, you will be sacrificing prime ride-time!

Speaking of which, one trip we got caught out having the meal outside.
Does anyone know which time slots are indoors and which are outdoors?

You can specify at the check in desk that you want to eat indoors. They seat people in both areas at all meal times. It's a much better atmosphere inside and the booths are pretty comfortable!

I've only done lunch, but it was a nice break in the day. The lobster salad was delicious.

That depends on whether there is seating left indoors. We asked to sit indoors once and they said it was already full. Turns out we had a lovely time outdoors and actually prefer it now. But that's going to vary a lot depending on temperature. This was a lovely overcast day in late October. Mid-summer I doubt I'd be very happy outdoors.

Based on this experience, I'd shoot for an early seating if you really want to be indoors.

It must also depend on how busy it is. I've only ever sat inside (they didn't even give the option for outside), but we had lunch at 3pm and a dinner at 5:30.

We loved the lunch although we've never had the breakfast so I can't compare. I feel similar to pps who feel that breakfast is a waste of ride time and money. My kids were 2 and 5. I had the lobster salad and my mom had the salmon which we both loved. Can't remember what DH got but I think he liked it, possibly pasta. I think DD got Mac and cheese which of course she loved. DS got chicken nuggets (?) but only ate the grapes! Most expensive grapes He's ever eaten.

Had lunch inside and dinner outside. The lunch was definitely a great princess meet an greet for my girls. The princesses all come out in an organized manner and allow time for photos and autograph signing. The meal timing flowed nicely to match, so you are in and out in a good time. The food was good for both. Dinner was a little "fancy" but had some interesting appetizers kind of like high tea style.

Last time when we were seated outside they told us here was alternate seating times for inside and outside and that the 11:30 (or whatever time we had booked) was an outdoor seating.
It was not comfortable at all in the heat and I didn't think was as nice as inside.

We had an outdoor, waterfront seating for lunch in August, 2015 and we loved it. Of course, we had perfect weather, so that helped.

Thanks everyone !

I think if we do decide to try this out we will do a lunch !!

We had breakfast on Thursday:

Adult $37
Kid: $22

It was a really great experience. Very organized and not chaotic. Each princess is announced and then visits each table. We are outside and loved the view. It was early enough to be cool out.
