I just want a second opinion....CRT?

Okay, before I begin, I know this is a big issue on this board. On May 24 I have breakfast ressies at CRT for my group of 5. Party members are me (42) SO (45) my 2 ds (14 & 15) and SO's daughter 15. (Note she is a real princess/girly girl.) She has never been to disney. I am trying to plan a "trip of a lifetime" for her. My boys on the other hand have been countless times. I guess my question is, is 10am a good time for this type of thing? We are staying at SOG so I figure we can slip over to MK early, do a few things then have a late breakfast. I have "heard" about swords/wands etc, but have not heard much since the beginning of February when all the changes began. I know the picture package is another question as I have heard we will prolly only get on set (which is fine) yet I hear with 5 we might get 2 sets? Guess just looking for someone (even if you need to lie to me) that this is not a mistake lol. TIA

We ate in the castle 2/5/06 for the 1st time and it was pure magic! Worth every penny! And for a "trip of a lifetime" you will definately want to eat in the castle. Your little princess will never forget it!

My first thought for your post is - - dont try so hard to make it perfect!!! Dont set yourself up for failure... and that's because I'm speaking from experience!! I tried so hard, and thru *my* eyes I think I failed, thru my mom's eyes she had a great time...

CRT changes, Ohana changes - you will always find pros and cons and it could 'eat at you' -

Bottom line its the castle!! When you check in, I wonder if you could ask that CM "nicely like, if its not too much trouble can my SO get a pic with DD, and we get a group shot... or what one of just kids and one of just adults???" I'll bet if you're nice they'll help... if not you tried... and can Disney dining answer about swords, I thought it was 10 and under? (maybe if that's true you should have something in your pocket to whip out - crown, or a beanie baby???


Focus on the view, how special getting to eat in the castle is... You're right to get there early, take in those Fantasyland attractions while the crowds are low, grab fp (one person in the group? or will the kids split off on their own?) for some of the major rides, but you really must do some of the Peter Pan, Snow White, Philharmagic dont you think???

LOL Have FUN!!

Thanks for the quick reply. I know she will love it, it is just hard to swollow almost 200.00 for breakfast! Once last question, when you pre-pay on your credit card, is tax and tip all included? or do you tip on top?

TIA
