Just thought I'd share our experience to help other DISsers.
In late March, we did lunch at CRT and wanted to do something special for our 2 DGDs, ages 4 and 14. We ordered the tiara for the 4 yr old and the special crown dessert for the 15 yr old as surprises. Shortly after being seated, I discreetly spoke with our server to confirm our order.
After the entree, our server approached our table with the tiara on a pillow and handed it to our son to give to our DGD rather awkwardly. We expected a CM to present it to her but we rolled with it. We had no idea that one of us would be presenting it her it threw us a little.
Shortly after, our server took our dessert orders. Since the second surprise was a dessert, I again made contact with the server and he indicated he had it. I was a bit confused when he took our DGDs dessert order but expected him to deliver her special dessert instead.
However, he brought the regular dessert and she ate it. After she was done, he brought the special dessert. Since she already had dessert, it was basically wasted. We oohed and ahhhed and left most of it on the table. (It was a hot day and didn't have a way to keep the chocolate crown from melting).
While we loved the products, I would suggest that you work out the details with your server once you arrive. When I spoke with a manager, he said that they almost always have a family member present the crown, which is not how it it described on MDE. (A manager had wondered why we left the dessert and a conversation followed).
FYI.
