For those pay ahead reservations

Like HDDR and CRT

Does it automatically use your card on file, or does it give you the option to use a Disney gift card? I am booking HDDR Saturday (off siter who has to get up each morning to book ADR).

Also for those who have dined at CRT, is it worth the price for the experience? I am thinking of booking the breakfast. I'm sure it's not worth the price for the food. But I'm I grew up with the Disney princesses and my daughter will be 13 on this trip. This will be our last trip to the world where she is a kid of any kind and she's currently into the live action Disney princess movies. For fun, I happened to try inputting our info this morning and I could have gotten one of 4 CRT breakfast ADR this morning for the day I was booking today. Just wondering if anyone had done it.

Thanks for any advice on both!

I think you can choose your payment type for each reservation, but maybe someone else can confirm. Make sure you take the “used” gift card though, as I think it would be refunded to that if you need to cancel for any reason.

As for your second question, if your daughter wants to do CRT and is willing to pose for pics, I say do it! There really aren’t many places at Disney where the food is “worth the price.” It’s all about the experience, and how often in life can you eat in a castle? My DDs are 16 and 14. They are in such a rush to grow up that, in my opinion, it is absolutely “worth it” to grab those opportunities for them to be kids and enjoy the magic. My girls don’t want to wait in line to meet very many characters, but they still have a great time at character meals.

I can't answer your 1st question but the 2nd is CRT worth it? If you have never been I tell everyone that its worth it at least once. And the breakfast food has gotten better over the years (at least to me). And as to the princess thing you never now how long it will last. On our last trip we had eat breakfast at Trattoria just so the 18 year old could meet Rapunzel. Her boyfriend was with us and still laughs about it.
