Askershus/PSB character question...

[figmentfan1]

I have done Askershus for lunch... this time we are doing breakfast. Who is "usually" there. I know the characters rotate, but I have heard others talk about who is usually there.

Is Belle ever at breakfast in her gold dress? My DD would LOVE that!! But she isn't old enough to realize that is possible, so really, any princesses are fine!

Thanks for any info!!

We've been twice for the PSB and had the following princesses each time: Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Mulan, and Jasmine. In addition, we did have Belle there the last time, though I don't believe it was in her yellow gown. Seems to me it was that simple blue dress she wears. You're right in that there are no guarantees which princesses will be there, but it has mattered little to our young daughter. The food has been warm, the service good, and the interaction with the princesses delightful. We're heading back again this summer. Enjoy!

I don't think there is ever a definite, but from what I have read on here over the past few months, Belle is usually the featured princess in her yellow gown for breakfast and Ariel for lunch and dinner. Of course it is always subject to change. Enjoy your trip!

Hope you are right! My little girl loves ALL princesses but Belle is her absolute favorite. My little boy loves her too. They would both be over the moon to see her in her gold dress!

We did PSB in early Feb. Belle was in her yellow dress, the other characters were Mary Poppins, Princess Aurora, Snow White and Jasmine.

We have done this breakfast twice. This is who we saw:
Snow White
Jasmine
Belle (blue dress)
Aurora
Mulan

If you want to see Belle again, I highly recommend you go to her "garden" for storytime. It is wonderful. The garden is down a path to the right of the castle (if you are looking at it) in the MK. Your kids would love it.

This comment got me to chuckling about the reaction to the "bigger" boys attending the PSB with their wives and daughters. So far, Jasmine seems to be their (and my) favorite! Whoever shows at your breakfast will be wonderful, I'm sure.

Interestingly, I've called every day trying to get into the 1900 Park Fare dinner at a decent hour, and whenever I call the CM says "How 'bout the Askershus Princess meal?". I tell her DD wants Cinderella, and she says, "Oh, well Cinderella is at Askershus". TWO different CM's told me that. But I know from friends going that's not true. How crappy if they're steering people from 1900 that want to see Cindy when they really won't see her there.

I was there with my husband 2 weeks ago and Belle was there in her yellow dress for your intial picture that you take prior to being seated. She doesn't rotate. The rotating princess that visited our table were Jasmine (which my husband thought looked just like the cartoon), Mulan (which looked nothing like the cartoon), Mary Poppins (who told me to sit up and not slouch which apparently was very funny to my husband who was taking the picture), and finally Snow White. This was my husband's first encounter with face characters and it turns out that he's really not into princesses...but he was fascinated by Brian Urlacher who was seated at the next table. So I've been reading for months about the need for a character breakfast for boys and it all became perfectly clear what you all were talking about. The food was fine and the servers were absolutely fabulous!!!

Brian Urlacher went to have a meal with the Princesses! That's cool.

Yes, it was ESPN the weekend and he had his daughters(?) with him (one dressed up in a yellow belle gown), a teenage boy, and a nanny with him. My guess is he was at PSB for his daughter's sake.

We were there just last week, and we DID have Cinderella there!! I was also under the impression that Cindy only was at CRT, but we had her at PSB! It was a nice surprise! So the CM's aren't lying! But they probably shouldn't be guaranteeing any princesses in particular, as it does always change.

We had Belle in her yellow gown at the entrance for pictures, and then Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White and Jasmine came around to the tables.

In June, we had Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine, Belle (in blue dress), and Sleeping Beauty. It was a bit disappointing because we did CRT the day before and the only difference there was Mary Poppins instead of Jasmine. We were hoping for all different ones...including Ariel and Mulan. We've NEVER seen either of them. I was told the only place to see Cindy was in the castle. Not so - we got her the next day at PSB, too.

When we ate at the PSB in '04, there wasn't a princess in the lobby for pictures. Is this photo package included, like at CRT, or is it additional?

When we went, we saw Snow White, Belle (in the blue dress), Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, and Jasmine.

It's an additional cost...they came around to our table with the pictures during the meal. They weren't inexpensive either. We decided not to buy, as we have many princess pictures already, but many people did!

Just as the previous poster mentioned, the packages are not included and are around $25 for some assortment of sizes. However, the Dsiney photographer who takes the picture in the lobby (and eventually tries to sell to you) also will take a picture or two right afterwards with your own camera. I thought that was nice...I may not have my husband and Belle on a keychain, but he can be a desktop background any day of the week.

We were there in March too. Belle in her gold dress, Mulan, Aurora, Jasmine and Snow White.

We also did the breakfast in March and the same characters were there then, although Belle was in her blue dress.

I much prefered the blue Belle over the gold Belle, she reminded me of the "real Belle" But, the kids didnt care! All they wanted was Aurora! LOL

As a side note, we were there during ESPN weekend too. Although I couldnt tell you if we saw anyone "important". But, we did see Jerry Rice at MGM for just a sec as he was leaving the stage. My girls were so excited: "JERRY RICE FROM DANCING WITH THE STARS!" Dh and I could have died! I cant believe they know him from that! LOL
