We were there last year for lunch. The food was delicious! The character interactions were good. There was Cinderella, Aurora, Snow white, Mary Poppins, Belle and the Fairy God Mother. I went with my DS age 10. Everyone referred to him as Prince Jacob! They did a beautiful picture of him with Cinderella with a picture of the castle beside it.
I think lunch is the best time to hit CRT. It's not as expensive as dinner, the food is very good, and the character interaction is wonderful. I highly recommend it.
I'll dissent and say the food is ok -- not great -- at lunch. I had a focaccia sandwich that really could have had more flavor. The appetizer plate they brought out was good, though. Even though we thought the food was mediocre, we feel that eating in the castle at some point is probably a "must" and I'm glad we did it with my dd.
lunch was wonderful. The food was excellent. DH and I ordered the salmon and it was so very good. The blueberry buckle dessert was very good too. Eating in the castle is very fun. Our character interaction was outstanding. It was the highlight of DS's trip. For more details, here's my review from March 2007:
Major Domo's Pie and the appetizer plate were good however be forewarned they do not give enough of the appetizer to share with the whole table. My poor Dh went to the restroom and came back to an empty plate of course my dd's ate it all .
We enjoyed it a lot. I thought the appetizer was nice. DH would have preferred something more.. In his opinion, onion rings or some other bistro style fried food would have been better. LOL There was some cheese with prosciutto, basil chicken breast and cheese with grapes. They brought 2 trays for the 5 of us. It was plenty of food. We ordered the Major Domo Pie and it was good. Not fantastic, but pretty good. The character interaction was fantastic, as was the service! It is a beautiful setting!
