Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[DCDisney]

Can we get away with one adult meal and each of our children getting one? I'm sure I could share with my husband and kids if it is allowed? I hate to use so many credits on one meal now that it will be 2 TS per person!

I don't think they allow this at character meals. In the past at certain meals they have allowed sharing but the extra people would have to pay an entertainment fee that made the sharing not really save any money.

Personally I'd think you'd be better off saving your meal credits for another meal and paying out of pocket in many cases depending on where else you plan to each and how much those meals will cost.

There is no sharing at character meals. Never has been This is not something new!
I don't think Disney is having any trouble filling the seating at the castle since they raised the prices. I do not like the raise in prices, but this is the first time I have been able to eat in the castle because I could never get in before. The demand was too high. I can see why they had to do something. I think the only reason I got in this time was the new 180 day out thing. Most people didn't know about it. This is the first and last time for us to eat in the castle. If fact, Grandpa and grandma (me) will probably not go to DW any more. I am taking my son's family and that's 3 grandkids and it has just gotten too expensive over all, and too much planning. There are other places to go for family vacation's that are only a fraction of the cost. Yes, I love disney, but there is a limit, for me anyway!!

I am confused... Is Cinderella the only princess at CRT now for b,l and d? And if you want to see the other princesses you have to go to Epcot??

 

[DW mouser]

No, the other princesse's are there for breakfast and lunch. Cindy will be there for pictures only at dinner. The fairy godmother will be there for dinner. Hence, all 3 meals are called character now.

1900 Pakr Fare at GF has a buffett with Cinderella and Prince Charming.

I will be glad when Feb is here and someone posts who is where when and who is for pics at CRT. I have been given different answers from dining when I call.

I agree. When I call disney dining, they tell me that Cinderella and Prince Charming are at breakfast and lunch and that Cinderella makes appearances at dinner. If you want to see the other princesses they tell me you have to go to epcot for that. If anyone is going between now and Feb 15 please let me know what is going on....Thank you!

The quote I had read to me this afternoon is Friends The Royal Family are the characters. I asked who the "photo opportunity" was with and that's not even for sure Cinderella at breakfast, lunch or dinner. So, I will be anxious to see if I really want to pay that much. I was also told that the lunch menu is nearly the same...as well as dinner. The dessert selections seem to be different.

Oh..and to add...she said something about at dinner they won't go around to the tables...only at breakfast and lunch.

I am also confused I know it is called Cinderellas royal table but we have been twice before and Aurora Snow White Jasmine Mary Poppins and Belle were also there .We have already booked for April and friends are coming with us for the first time .We want all to be perfect. Would be dissapointed if not as before especially as the price has risen.Does anybody know for sure .

I would watch for reports, but I don't think it's going to be the same as before, but who knows for sure.

My 6 yo dd and I were at CRT for breakfast the other day. We had a wonderful time! Our ressie was 8:10 which was just perfect. We went in early enjoyed the emptiness of the Park, Main St and the Castle. When you arrive, you'll be in the "lobby area" Cinderella was there for a quick visit and pictures. Then you go upstairs to the dining room. I was surprised at how many tables were empty during our meal. We sat at a table at the window right in the center-overlooking Fantasy Land. Snow White, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty and Belle were there-no Prince Charming at our meal.
My little girl had scrambled eggs, french toast sticks and bacon (she was too excited to eat) There were muffins and pastry on the table and fresh fruit cup. I had a great yogert-with granola, fruit and caramelized bananas.
We didn't go for the food-we went to be near Cinderella. My dd has told me a dozen times already "that was the best day of my life"
We finished our meal just before 9am when the park opened-so we were able to ride everything in Fantasy land with almost no wait, then strolled right into Toon Town at its opening -again with no wait. A perfect day!!!!

Glad to hear you had such a great time with your daughter...

 

[Cinderpals]

Isn't it great to get in early, eat breakfast (which I find yummy) and get a head start in Fantasy Land! We'll be doing that again in April. I can't wait!!

 

[problemchild718]

She really did have the best time! I will do it again in a heart beat if she asks! It was worth the splurge.

Thanks for the report

One question though -- was your only exposure to Cinderella the photo op or did she eventually circulate too? We have made ADR's for breakfast and it is very important to me that the princesses circulate to your table. My 5 yo DD refuses to stand in line to see any of the characters so this will be her only exposure to the characters.

Thanks for your help.

 

[problemchild718]

Yes, the only interaction with Cinderella was the photo-she doesn't circulate.

 

[MouseEars]

Everyone here had me so worried that we would not get in to breakfast at the castle. So when I called today I was surprised that I got the day I wanted in April. Even better that it is a later seating. This way it will be more of a brunch which is fine by me.

So it was not hard at all... I am sure my dd will have a great time. My son on the other hand is just looking forward to Lilo and Stitch at the hotel.

BTW.. we are going to be there the last week of April.

How much does CRT breakfast cost?

 

[Disneykim]

How many days in advance can you make a reservation for the CRT breakfast?

 

[beattyfamily]

How much does CRT breakfast cost?

Breakfast: $31.99 ages 10 and up; $21.99 ages 3-9 or 2 TS credits on the dining plan (although I think breakfast should be ONE!)

All restaurants can be booked at 180 days.

 

[Disney Fans]

I just made resv. at Cindys for lunch this June. They are booking for even July right now. She did remind me that starting this Feb. It now takes 2 credits from the meal plan for Break, Lun, and Din. But the good news is that they now have the Princess, etc. for all three times and you will also get a photo.
So for us this is better because we are not early early people so eating their for lunch or dinner works best for us.
