Deputy Dad needs princess advice!

[dep7418]

I just booked a lunch at CRT and received the last seating of the day for lunch. I have heard this is a good time as there is no rush to get you out as there are no more ressies until dinner and the characters tend to "mill" around at the end...any opinions on the lunch?

I have to admit I did have STICKER SHOCK when I called and found out the price. I just want my 6yo daughter to get an "up-close" with her fav princesses while we are there for her B-day...does anyone recommend any other meals where she can meet princesses? I guess Belle is her favorite.

Also, the Disney website is a bit confusing...does the price include a basic photo package?

Thanks

There is also the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Norway to meet the princesses. Another stop to try in the MK is in Toontown at the Judge's Tent. They always have a line for the princesses. It will show pictures of 2 of them and the a "?" for the third (at least that's the way it was when we were there in Nov). Belle was the surprise guest there in her gold ballgown. You can also see Belle in France at Epcot. Hope this helps a little.

We met Jasmine, Belle, Muluan and Snow White at the Norway Storybook Princess breakfast. We met Cindy and Prince Charming at Park Fare dinner at Grand Floridian. We only did CRT for dinner and dd met Cindy in the lobby (had her all to herself as there was no other kids there - and me without my video camera!!). We liked the storybook breakfast - princesses took a lot of time with dd.

The price at CRT now includes the photo package. That's one reason the price went up. Park Fare at Grand Floridian also offers Cinderella and is a fancy place for a girl to meet a princess! They have a nice character breakfast there. We've had nice times at the castle and enjoyed the atmosphere so much. We're going for our daughter's 7th birthday this summer there.

We, too, have had good experiences at the PSB breakfast in Norway. Though no particular princess is guaranteed, Belle does frequent that meal. We've found the interaction good, the food just fine (especially the cheesy potatoes), and the experience overall to be quite nice given the price. I recommend it. . .one father to another.
