CRT For Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner?

[disney-inspired]

This will be my first time dining at Cinderella's Royal Table and it's like the epitome of all character dining.

So should I make reservations for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

And what's a good ADR time for those meals?

Thanks!

Hey, I'm from Santa Clarita too! To answer your question, I'll ask you if you are going with children or not. When we went to CRT, we didn't have any kids with us, it was 6 adults, so we wanted to have a little less intense character experience. We ate dinner there, and there was a short program involving the Fairy Godmother and the 2 mice Suzy and Perla. We purposely planned our dinner to be at the same time Wishes was going, and we enjoyed watching them from that perspective. It was everyone's favorite thing we did together, and it made some great memories of 6 friends together.

Hi! Are you still over here? I'm by Costco!
It will be 3-4 adults but I love characters but dinner and Wishes sounds really nice!

I'm near Valencia High School. It was really nice watching Wishes, and we were fortunate to have a table at the window. They lowered the lights and played the music while the fireworks were going. I planned our time to be about 15 minutes before the fireworks were supposed to begin. We checked in about 30 minutes early, which turned out to be really a good idea because we had to wait for Cinderella to get back from her break before we could get our table. They start you downstairs with a photo with Cinderella, which is included in your cost of the meal. After your photo they'll call you to your table upstairs.

The only downside to having a meal so close to fireworks time is getting into the castle since they have everything blocked off around it. I made everyone get to the castle an hour and a half before the fireworks, and we all hung around until they made us go into the castle hallways for our safety. Luckily we had Spectromagic to watch from the hallways, which was a great view since you are so far above everyone else.

important questions;

1) Are you into characters? (has been asked) Cinderella is downstairs for all meal. At breakfast and lunch there are usually four characters at the meal that move from table to table talking to the guests. At dinner the Fairy Godmother, Suzy and Perla do a show but don't really mingle.

2) How do you tour? A lot of people like to get to the park before rope drop and enter MK before it's corwded. Some people prefer breakfast to be a large meal. We like to be at rope drop and breakfast is a small meal/snack (croissants and begniets since we have been staying at POFQ) so we go to lunch at CRT.

...{MO}....if you're looking to "really" experience the Castle...My favorite meal is definitely dinner @ the time of Wishes.... It's like "TOTAL SATURATION THERAPY" To DD and I...it doesn't get much better than THAT...

Get there early...request a table by the windows... It's a real "Disney Experience"

{{{{take note: I'm the kind of person that CRIES ...every time I watch Wishes..."}}}

I like lunch because they serve Major Domo's Pie (a phyllo dough pastry with veggies and a type of pot roast in the center)OMG!!! It is amazing. Breakfast meals tend to be the same no matter where you go, but at lunch you at least got something different.
