I'm wondering if CRT is a less-rushed experience during the special parties (MNNSHP, etc)? In order to be in the park, you have to have a separate ticket. I wouldn't think many people would want to spend their time at such a table service, so CRT is not as crowded during these times. Just a thought ...
Also, although we were rushed through for our granddaughter's birthday breakfast recently, we will probably go back to CRT -- but waiting a few years. I do agree with those of you who haved said to look at CRT through a child's eyes. Now that we have been there once, we know more of what to expect the next time.
