Dinner in the castle is not a character meal, but we were pleasantly surprised to see her magesty when we went through the doors. It was right before one of the Cinderella surprise shows, so she was heading out for the show after visiting with us.
As for the menu, they don't have a huge selection. My husband got salmon and i had scallops. Some of the items on the allears menu aren't on the current menu.
The kids menu is the same...but they were able to make a plain hotdog for my kids!!!
Have fun!
