CRT for Breakfast?

[lauriko]

I'm going to be running the 5k for PHM and was thinking about adding to the "princess" weekend by eating breakfast at CRT after the race. How is breakfast? I've eaten lunch and dinner there years ago and found the food to be ok, nothing spectacular. I've never tried breakfast before though.

It'll be me, a friend and my parents.

Thoughts?

I've done breakfast here 3 times within the past 4 years.

To me, the food (and service) are just okay. 90% of what you're paying for is the experience of eating inside the castle with princesses (just as with lunch and dinner).

We like doing breakfast because it's a bit less expensive than lunch or dinner. We particularly like a pre-park opening breakfast because it's a really magical experience. But it's probably my least favorite character breakfast as far as the food goes (with respect to food, I like the buffets better because there's so much more variety), which is a shame, given the prices.

But we keep coming back despite the price versus food (and service) quality disparity. I guess we're part of the problem.

My breakfast there last trip was one of my favorite meals of our trip. I don't eat eggs, so I got the steak (filet?) with breakfast potatoes and it was wonderful.

To me, it's good but not amazing. I feel like it takes soooooooo long to get through that meal because of all the pomp and circumstance of actually getting to your table. By the time the food comes, I'm grouchy. Maybe it's better now that the photo package isn't part of the whole shebang.
Anyway, the food. I got the lobster crepes on our last trip, and they were just okay. It surprised me how small the portion was. I definitely did not leave feeling stuffed. My kids both got the kids' platters and didn't eat much because they decided they didn't like french toast sticks. Is this your friend or parents' first trip? If so, it's worth going just to be in the castle. If not (or you value your park time over meal time) I'd skip it and do fun stuff!
