Can't decide on princess meals- help!

[IllinoisMommy]

Hi there- I am looking ahead to December, when we will take our three kids to WDW. Last trip (before DD was born) we went to CM and the boys loved it. This trip I would like to do a princess character meal for DD (making other ADRs with the boys in mind).

Please help me decide- any thoughts would be appreciated. Paying OOP but willing to pay the $$ (I know they are pricey)

Is there one that has better character interactions? Do you think they would include my sons in the interactions? (They will sit back all cool and pretend they don't want anything to do with princesses...am wondering if the stepsisters at 1900 Park Fare might be funny for them).

Not too interested in the food at Akershus, so it is between 1900 PF and CRT. Thanks

If you're doing this as a benefit for all 3 kids, then 1900 Park Fare as the stepsisters will provide great entertainment for your boys and you still get Cinderella for your girl. If you want this to really be a princess meal, though, then CRT hands down. Overall interaction is better at 1900 Park Fare, but it's not really a princess meal compared to 4 princesses (and the Cinderella greeting and pic) at CRT.

We did both on our trip and each is a very different experience. You can't go wrong either way.

Thanks- leaning towards 1900 FP since it will be good for our girl AND her two brothers.

Any other feedback from anyone else? Saw a video on you-tube of the step-sisters and it cracked me up. May combine that meal with checking out the huge gingerbread house at GF

Good decision to skip Akerhaus! We tried Akerhaus on our last trip and the kids hated the food (I didn't love it either). We have done CRT, which was $$ but a good meal and good character interaction. I have never been to 1900 Park Fare - I will probably try it on the next trip.

The only princess meal we've done is CRT for dinner. I will say that our DD (age 3 at the time) loved seeing the princesses. We saw Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Bell and Snow White. They each came to our table and spent time with not only our daughter, but also our 9 year old son. We have a great picture of him getting a kiss on his cheek from Aurora (he loved it). Even our 12 year old son didn't complain about the experience, which for him means he liked it.

CRT is expensive, and I've heard there are other great princess meals as well. Whatever you choose I hope you enjoy it.

We did CRT last trip and our son LOVED the princesses. He smiled and flirted with most of them even though it was for his big sister. We are doing 1900 Park Fare in June, and the youtube videos from there are hilarious! It is also not in a park, so you don't have to be in MK that day if you are going for dinner.

I think PF would be a great choice. Personally I liked the food better before the added the steps but the characters are very good at PF. The steps are funny and they have Cinderella and the Prince do a dance in the middle of the room. Kids are invited to join in.

We haven't done CRT (probably won't now that DD is 12) but I think you, and all your kids, will enjoy PF.
