CRT... with 5 yo boy

[sonocruiser]

So my family has ADR for CRT for breakfast. What is the experience like? Do the princesses interact with little boys as much as the girls? On both our previous trips to DL and WDW DS wanted to meet Cinderella and we were not able to. So I thought an early breakfast in the castle before the park opens would make up for it

Princesses will interact with boys, girls, grown ups, senior citizens.

He will get a sword, too.

The princesses will flirt with him.

Is cool.

A sword? I guess I didn't realize they give out a keepsake. How big is it? To carry around all day. Is there a photopass person there when you meet Cinderella?

Yes, there's a photopass person for the Cinderella M&G and with the girls as they come around.

And the sword isn't especially stabby. This is Disney, for 3-9 year old boys. They aren't going to risk said children taking out the eye of their paying grownup.

My boys were 2 and 3 last year and loved CRT. Snow White kissed my little one right on the forehead - one of our favorite pictures/memories from our trip. They broke their swords shortly after we returned home...sword fighting of course

We went last week with my 5 year old son. He dressed up as Prince charming and had great interaction with Cinderella. The other princesses were really good too.

Yup. CRT is great for the whole family - unless your son is 10-15. Then he'll hate it. They start liking it again at 16 or 17...

Thanks all! I am really doing this to make sure he meets Cinderella and to get into the park early, plus breakfast is the one meal my DS will eat the most at. He is a snacker. About how long is the sword? We tour the parks with just one drawstring backpack.

Boys absolutely get attention from the princesses and there is a photopass photographer down with Cindy. This is the sword.

Oh my goodness! The little guy will have a ball! I love that no matter your age or gender, you can have fun with the characters.

Your little boy will love it. I took my 9 and 11 year old sons and they loved the food and the ambiance of the castle. As other posters have mentioned, he will get a sword. The princesses' interaction is great, although my boys were much more interested in the food and the atmosphere. We were there in the evening and the lights on castle kept changing colors. You could see this inside and it was very cool. Enjoy!

CRT for my sons bday we where I learned that my son is afraid of face characters - princesses most of all. He hid under the table every time a princess came by.

But the princesses were awesome about it. Snow White said he reminded her of her friend bashful and Ariel said "aw, he clammed up!"
