CRT Dinner - conflicting characters

[Finally08]

Hey guys, I did a search and it seems everyone's dinner at CRT was a little different as far as characters go.
So I just want to make sure what to expect...sounds like we see Cinderella in a lobby for a photo op on the way up to dinner, then at dinner the fairy godmother comes out and does a little ditty, but doesn't visit tables? Also, mice, or no mice? Some seem to have had photos with them too, others said they ran through.

So if you've done dinner at CRT *recently*, what did you see?

When I was there Dec. 2006, Cinderella was in the lobby for the photos. I've heard that it always isn't her though, but I don't know if this is true. (Some reviews said their character was fairy godmother)
After the pics with Cinderella, we were called upstairs to the main dining room. At this time, they gave my DD a toy wand as a souvenir. I'm not sure if they still do this though.
Once seated, your pics will arrive in a pretty folder which included a picture of the castle. You get a good amount of pics, so you'll be able to share some with family once you get back.
Then, the fairy godmother came out as did the 2 mice. The fairy godmother did a small show and made quick appearances at tables celebrating birthdays or anniversaries. The mice just walked around but couldn't pose for pics or sign autographes. They basically just walked by each table and waved.
If your interested in more character interaction, you should do breakfast or lunch but I really enjoyed the dinner.

Thanks, we had hoped for a breakfast or lunch but couldn't get into any. Seems like they book up 180 days in advance, and we only booked our trip about 6 weeks ago, and will be there the first week in Feb - so adr's are tricky!

I think dd will be happy if she gets to meet Cinderella in the lobby. I am hoping she likes the food too. Since this isn't a buffet place, do you think they'd let her share with us? She's 3, and doesn't eat ANYTHING.

Was there for dinner on 12/29/07. Cinderella is on the first floor for your photo. The fairy godmother and several mice do a short (about 10 minutes) song and dance routine.

The mice do visit the tables and I was able to get a picture of one of the mice with my wife. The fairy godmother goes through the room but did not stop at the tables for pictures.

Thanks, I am really hoping dd can get a photo, even if very fast, with the mice!

You're welcome. Don't forget your DD's autograph book. Cindy will sign too!

I really don't think they will allow your daughter to share since there is a set price for each person. Only guests under 3 can share.

I did it in August for my anniversary.
Cinderella in the lobby for the pics (they deliver them during dinner)

Fairy GM will sing her songs during dinner and the mice come out

They really run about a lot, and I got whacked a bunch with mouse skirts.
But they do kinda flit about and you can get a few photos if you try.

I'm not sure if you've thought of this you could always go to 1900 Park Fair at the GF. I know it's not in the castle which is probably the biggest draw back and is a buffet. According to allears Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine,
Anastasia and Drizella are the regular characters. You would met Cindy and Prince Charming but not the mice or the Fairy Godmother. When we me Anastasia and Drizella at the Pirate & Princess Party last year they were so funny.

We're doing that place for dinner our last night there!
I just thought it would be special to get to dine in the castle - I think dd will enjoy that (and she loves those darn mice!).
