HELP -- What characters are at CRT Dinner?

[Rneighh]

Is it true that at dinner at CRT, that Cinderell is only in the lobby for pictures and the only character you see during the meal is the fairy godmother?

If so, I need to make some changes fast. We leave on 1/3.

From what I understand you meet Cinderella in the lobby for pictures then in the restaurant there is the Fairy Godmother and the mice. To see princesses during the meal you need to go to breakfast or lunch.

Baically, you check in and then you can enter the lobby where you will meet Cinderella. Your family takes a picture with her and then you are either seated or called up to the main dining room. Upon being seated, your child gets a free souvenir wand or sword depending on boy or girl.
Once seated, your server come over for your order. Sometime during your meal, you'll get your pictures that you took in the lobby at no extra charge. Last December, at dinner, the fairy godmother came out as did the 2 mice.
They are NOT allowed to do meet and greets or sign any autographs.
The fairygodmother does a small show where she will point out tables who are celebrating a special occassion such as a birthday or anniversary and she may briefly visit those tables. The mice just walk around the dining room, but they don't stop and if they do, its just to wave.
Then they leave.
There are no princesses present during the meal. As the previous poster reported, you'll need breakfast or lunch for princesses, but it may be too late to get a reservation for those meals.
In my opinion, I really enjoyed the dinner. Food was great (we got the prime rib), service was excellent, my DD got a toy wand, we got pics included with the meal and you get to meet Cinderella anyway. Also, you can't beat that wonderful atmosphere of being inside the castle. I'd stick with it.

Since my daughter is turing 19 and we have never eaten in the castle I think I will keep the dinner. We had the Akerhaus breakfast planned but the pre-plated meal did not sound good so I cancelled. We have 1900 Park Fare planned but Mary Poppins is not a princess. I guess if she really wants to see princesses on her b-day she can go stand in line at ariel's ghrotto or toon town and we can go ride rides.

1900 Park Fare has a Cinderella dinner. I've been convinced to do that along w/ Dinner in the Castle.
