Character Breakfast Advice Please!

[crcurton]

I need advice. We are doing the regular Dining Plan. I am definitely going to do 1900 Park Fare for dinner the first evening but here's the question...should we do Akershus breakfast, which we've done already but has all the princesses, OR should be do CRT, which my 5 yr. old DD has never done???

I say go for it if it's in the budget. Every girl should eat there at least once, especially if she is fond of the company of princesses! Happy planning!

Keep in mind, if you haven't already, that CRT costs 2 TS credits per person.

If you do CRT, pay for it OOP and save the 2 TS credits for something else. Personally for me I would never use 2 TS credits for CRT. If I were to do it I'd pay OOP. I've done signature dining OOP. We will be doing the regular DDP for our next trip. I want to do a signature meal again but I'm really torn about using 2 TS credits. I think the signature dining is way better than anything I've seen offered on the menu at CRT. But that's just me.

Thanks, if we do decide to do CRT, we'll probably pay OOP, DD says she wants to see all of the princesses (today anyway) so I'm still undecided. I don't want to do 2 character breakfasts.

I am a big fan of the DP. I am not a big fan of paying for anything OOP if can get it on the DP. So my advice would be to first try to work both meals into my DP plans.

Keep in mind that both the Norway meal and CRT are available for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. So you can do both meals and neither would have to be breakfast. 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian offers a meal with Cinderella and her step family at dinner.

I have done both the CRT and 1900 as well as Norway.

I liked the Norway one the best because you had Cindy as well as other princesses. but the princesses just signed autographs and left.

I would then put 1900 next because of the interaction with the characters was a little more personal. The characters put on a little show, they had a lot of personality. I also went during dinner, and it was wonderful.

I would put CRT last only because it was two credits, the food and character interaction was great, but not worth two credits just to eat in the Castle and see Cindy!

but I think you get more bang for the buck at the 1900 and Norway!

Right now, I'm sticking with Norway and 1900 PF. I've got a few days to think about it, though. Thanks! Here's the lineup requested to the IPO:
Breakfast:
Akershus

Dinner:
1900 PF
50's Prime TIme
Lecellier
Crystal Palace
Ohanas
Planet Hollywood

How does that sound?

We're doing both this year (all 3 if you include 1900). But we are doing CRT for dinner (which was the only thing available for us). So only Cindy for that, and then the fairy godmother and mice put on a show (so I've read).
Supposedly at Akershus, Cinderella is usually NOT there, but in the past few months I have heard she is there for alot of the dinners. Not sure about breakfasts.
