CRT: About how long to allow for dinner?

[HunnyJar]

Hi everyone!

I'm so excited we finally have ADRs for dinner at CRT. None of us have been before and with two little princesses we are really looking forward to this meal. Now we believe the night we have the ADR booked is a MNSSHP night (we're hoping!) and our ADR is for 5:25 pm. Considering that we have a 2 year old and our other little girl who will be turning 1 right before our trip what is a reasonable amount of time to allow for this meal? We're not too concerned about missing some of the party since we've been several times, so no need to rush through the meal. We're just not sure how long the normal character rotation is for the meal and if they pace out how the meal is served. Any help is greatly appreciated!

we went spring break last year and our ressies were for 8pm, it took forever to get seated (5ppl). We were there about 2hrs, just in time for wishes. You may not be there that long cuz you have a early ressie, but 2hrs to be safe

Once you are in the restaurant, it was about an hour rotation for the princesses to come through. Both times I have done it, the dinner part only took around an hour.

As the previous poster said, the wait really is downstairs. You wait to go through the Cinderella line and then wait for them to call you. Both times, that took around 30-45 minutes.

This was our experience as well. I would agree with the PP and allot for about 2 hours total.

Thank you!

I didn't know about the long waits downstairs, but figured on allotting two hours for the actual meal.

Can anyone tell me about the picture that they take? Is it taken with Cinderella like how you normally take one with Belle at Akershus or is it just with a backdrop like at 1900 Park Fare?

Thanks again! I appreciate the help.

Wonderful!

Does that mean that she only greets for the picture but doesn't actually circulate the restaurant?

Thank you for the help!

She does not circulate the restaurant, you'll get your pictures and autographs with her during the pre-dinner meet & greet. There are usually 4 more princesses in the dining room.
