I have enjoyed reading everyone's opinions about CRT; that's what these boards are about, right? I am glad to hear the good and the bad. So much also depends on the mood of the CM's that day. (It shouldn't, but it does.)
My DD and I had a great experience at the castle. She was 4 1/2, it was December 2002, and our guys had gone to Breakfastosaurus. We surely had the better time. DD was excited but very shy about eating with the princesses. When we reached the Fairy Godmother's seat in the room downstairs, I explained our situation. The FG chitchatted with DD for at least 5 mins. and eventually got her on her lap. She was all smiles after that! FG was really a lifesaver.
The food was good, tho all DD ate was a huge chocolate muffin. (She's showing how big it is in the photo.) We had a view of Fantasyland out our window, and we saw Captain Cook chase Peter Pan down below! She remembers that more than the princesses! I thought all of them spent enough time with us and were personable. I enjoyed it as much as she did.
Price-it's Disney. Much of what we pay there is obscene. That's the choice we make; is is worth it or not? For us on that day, it was.
I'm toying with the thought of a family meal there this Dec. Me, DH, Dss 10 & 14, and DD 7. Not sure which meal the boys will tolerate... Might be neat to have a later dinner and try to see Wishes? All said, I think the castle embodies the spirit of the MK. My rose-colored glasses help, too. Thanks for listening.
