CRT lunch or dinner for birthday meal?

[Wee Annie]

Hi everyone!

I think I've narrowed down my youngest daughter's 3rd birthday meal to CRT for our trip next April. So now I have another question: which would you recommend more for a birthday meal, CRT lunch or dinner?

If it makes a difference to your decision, I think I will book a CRT breakfast for earlier in the trip. Would lunch be too much like breakfast re the environment? I know that dinner just has the Fairy Godmother (anyone else?) -- is it still a fun place at dinnertime?

For what it's worth, I've checked out the menus, and the dinner menu appeals to me slightly more than the lunch menu.

Thanks to any who can share their experiences re CRT lunch or dinner, especially when celebrating a birthday!

Do CRT for dinner. Mention the birthday on your ADR.
The lunch and dinner characters are the same.

Also dinner is a better value for 2 TS than lunch if you have DDP.

have Cinderella downstairs and four princesses or leading ladies at the meal for a meet and greet. Dinner has the Fairy Godmother presentation with Suzy and Perla. Cinderella is also downstairs. So lunch and breakfast do have the same general set up for characters.

I would go with lunch. It's really good.

The lunch and dinner characters are NOT the same! So if princesses are important to your daughter I would suggest lunch. Lunch has cinderella greeting in the lobby and various other princesses come around to your table throughout the meal.
Dinner has Cinderella greeting in the lobby but the only characters are the Fairy Godmother and mice and they don't walk around to see you at the tables. They just do a short show for the diners.

For a three year old's birthday, I would book breakfast or lunch so the princesses are there and if you want a second meal there make that the dinner. My DD would have been thrilled to celebrate her 3rd birthday with the princesses!

Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions!

Sometimes I think that the process of just writing out a post helps you think through it. I have been reading through the suggestions and then thinking through the fact that my daughter will be, well, 3, and all that entails. I think I will actually book the lunch for her birthday, although the dinner menu appeals more to me and my oldest daughter (I have two other daughters, ages 10 and 8).

I worry that, first, she will be upset if she doesn't see much of the characters, and two, that she might be more apt to "meltdown" at a later meal. I think the earlier the better, at least for my youngest!

So unless someone feels strongly that birthdays are better handled at dinner than at lunch CRT, I think I will try for lunch.

Thanks everyone!!!

The fiorst time we wento CRT our daughter was three and we went for lunch. We now go every trip. It's a good choice to please your daughter but it can be expensive.
