CRT -- possible to physical distance?

[disney16]

We ate at CRT a few years ago and I can't recall if there's any way to create distance at CRT for the princesses to still make an appearance. Do you imagine a way for Disney to pull this one off and add it back as a character meal option? We have early December 2020 trip reservations and assuming we go, this is the one we hoped to book. Although looking at video of the character cavalcades, we may be fine catching that to give our 5-year old her princess fix.

At this time any character meal they have you’re not in close contact with the character. The characters do a little parade around the restaurant.

I don't think they will be resuming any princess character meals. The princesses can appear without masks on cavalcades because they are outdoors and in motion which reduces the risk to both themselves and guests. I would be surprised if Disney's arrangement with the union specifically provides that staff members indoors must be wearing masks, and disney would not want to disrupt the character integrity by having Rapunzel wear a mask.

Face characters at meals are a loooooooong ways off I think. Fur characters are easier to pull off.

Are the cartoon characters wearing masks under their costumes? If not, they are no different from face characers from a medical standpoint, and logistically, yes, face characters could perform. In terms of contracts & labor agreements, that might be another story.

Personally, I'd love for CRT to exist for a while as a non-character restaurant, so we could enjoy the nice atmosphere without the princess parade for once.

If CRT was turned into a non-character meal, and the price went down to about $50/pp, I might consider it, again.

We used to love popping in to CRT for a nice lunch long before it became a character meal restaurant. Many times it was without a reservation but we did go off season (back then early November was empty and there was no F&W) and usually when it opened so not a prime time for eating. CRT w quiet back then and the food was good. I, too, would go back if it reverted to a non-character restaurant.
