Hi - We can't decide, so I thought I'd ask here. Which would you prefer amongst these 3. Grandma is joining us for a day and we could do any of these.

Lunch at CRT - 12:05
Dinner at 1900 PF - 4:30
Dinner at Chef Mickey's - 6:40

Thanks for your recommendations!
 
Ok, we've only done breakfast at CM and dinner at CRT. Both were great experiences. We've not had the opportunity to do 1900 Park Fare yet. You really can't go wrong with your choices. Why not do an early breakfast, a midday lunch and a late dinner? That way you can do all 3 without having to choose! ;)
 
We did all 3 on our trip in May and for us CRT would win hands down. There is just something about eating in the castle with all those Princesses running around! We had a Grandma with us for all 3, and she would tell you the same. In fact she would tell you no way on CM- the food was so bad there that she wound up getting sick later that evening, luckily she was okay by the next morning. Not even my 3 year old wants to go back to CM and she is a big Minnie fan, so that is saying a lot. We wouldn't go back for dinner (might try breakfast) unless DD begged, and that isn't going to happen.

As far as 1900 Park Fare, I think we hit it on a bad night. The food was okay, but not nearly as good as lunch at CRT. We got there at 5:45 for a 6:15 ADR, and did not get a table until right about 7:15-- a really long wait with a 3 year old. The characters were really spaced out (maybe because everything was running behind?), so we never really got to see the stepsisters play off of each other which is supposed to be the best part. By the time all the characters got to our table, it was almost 9:00 p.m. Prince Charming was definitely a winner as far as DD was concerned though! We would try 1900 Park Fare again. I would think as early as your ADR is that 1900 would go much better for you than it did for us. I'd still definitely put CRT in 1st place though!

I guess it depends. If you are going for the food, we were not overly impressed with the lunch at CRT or dinner at CM. 1900 PF's food was great and the Ladies Tremaine were hilarious and we also saw Cinderella and Prince Charming.
If you are going for the characters though and your twin boys, Chef Mickey's may be the most appealing if your sons aren't into the princesses.
 
I would do CM because of the time. You can get there after enjoying a long day at the parks, then head back for the rest of the evening at the hotel. Going to 1900 pf at 4:30 may cut your day short (depending on which park you're at). Of course, if you're doing MK that, day a dinner at 4:30 would get you back just in time to enjoy wishes and spectromagic. Either way, you'll have a great time!
 
We just did CRT breakfast, 1900 dinner and CM dinner last week. If you want good food, go to 1900. If you want to see Mickey, go to Chef Mickeys, but be prepared the food isn't half as good as it used to be!
 
The castle is so special, so that would be my choice. But I think your boys would enjoy Chef Mickey's.
 
Out of the 3, I prefer dinner at 1900 Park Fare, but it's such a subjective choice!! The roast beef with horseradish cream was really good when we ate there last week.

If you are going over the holidays, it might be a good choice because of the decor at the GF, too. The smell of the gingerbread house in the lobby was just divine, and one of my favorite Christmasy moments of our trip.

Have fun deciding!!!
