We had breakfast in the castle on 2/1 with an 8:20 ADR.
We were rushed through our meet n greet with Cindy as was everyone else...I held up the line and allowed my child to have a few extra moments because seriously the whole trip had been building to these moments. My daughter wanted to ask Cindy about the mice since she loves the mice from Cinderella. It ended up being a great question because the mice are way up high peeking out. (just ask and Cindy will point them out)
The food was sub par but that has been mentioned here numerous times. It is a bit distracting trying to eat and have character interactions....
It is fun to be in the castle and eat and see the princesses but oh so not worth the price! Its a shame its so outrageous!
As for the pictures.....we received a folder with an 8x10 of the castle and an 8x10 of my daughter and Cindy. Its not a great pic because it was so rushed. We also received 4 - 4x6 pics. They just give this to you and there is no options....its just a set thing.
Since we were there 2/1 and it was the first day of it we were done and had our character interactions and STILL waiting to receive these pictures.....several other tables had been brought theirs....It was just a bit after 9am and we wanted to get out to the parks....Our server was very helpful and went and tracked down our pictures. He said they were running behind...that's a glitch they will need to fix.
My DD also received a wishing star pin and wand. They did a cute thing and I have a precious picture of her making a wish. She was making wishes all day
One other interesting tidbit which I assume was a mistake but curious if this happened to anyone else. We were only charged 1 credit per person???? We didn't even realize till that night when my DH was unloading his pockets with receipts etc and saying we have so many TS left and I said that's not right and we figured out the difference was with CRT...interesting........So of course we called dining and made another ADR. It made the castle experience that much better for us because it is not worth 2 credits!!
Okay that's my experience from February 1
