Is cinderella castle character breakfast worth it?

[mickey&minniealways]

Our DD is 12 and this is her fourth trip to Disney. In all this time she has never done the pricesss breakfast at cinderrallas castle. Is it worth it? We have done many other character meal in the past. Some were great others just so so.

p.s. she is developmentally delay and is more like 8 or 9 at most times with a peek at a preteen.

My dd6 and I did Cinderellas breakfast during our trip to Disney world this past Thanksgiving. It was my daughters first trip to Disney world. I made a BBB appt in the castle for 8:50 am and breakfast ressie at 9:50. It was a truly magical morning for us (my dh and ds were off doing other stuff at the time). My daughter and I loved every minute of it, and seeing her in the castle all dolled up actually made me cry.

I honestly think doing the BBB appt first really made the morning even more special. I think my dd truly felt like a princess herself because of it.

I don't think I'll do it all again though. I mean it was well worth all the money for the one time experience. But I think being the first time really added to the magic, so I'm not sure the next time will be as special. Although, if money were no object for our family, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I don't know if what I wrote helps you at all. I guess in a nut shell: I am very happy we did it and don't regret it one bit. But I won't be making it an every trip experience.

We ate at CRT breakfast back in July 2007 for DD's first trip. I think it cost the four of us around $130 which included a photo packet, tax, and tip. The food was REALLY good. All the princesses were there along with The Fairy Godmother. It was a wonderful experience and my wife has already said that when we go back we have to eat there. It is expensive, but in our opinion well worth it, especially if you or DD have never eaten in the castle before!

My almost 11 year old 'too cool for words' daughter freaked when we went there in January. It was the best character meal, food wise, we have ever had. And the atmosphere can't be beat. Throw in the photo package and honestly, the breakfast deal of $146 for the four of us (three adults, one child) there was completely worth it.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like she will love it. I will try to make ressie asap.

question. It depends heavily on the party and the available finances.

My daughter is crazy about princesses. After eating at the castle my daughter wanted to live there. My wife has said that the next time we go she's taking my daighter to BBB before the meal. (We do lunch at the castle.) It was kind of Disney to open one in the MK so we don't have to travel from DTD.

The location is special, a number of princesses or other female leads in one location (we have had Alice and Mary Poppins also) and I like the food at lunch.

Askerhaus used to have multiple princesses at a lower price but the picture package will be included beginning in April so the price differential has closed.

Hi:

Our Grand Gathering enjoyed the CRT Breakfast this past December. Our only complaint is that they really try to get you in and out fast. They want to turn those tables quickly... so be prepared for that feeling and make sure that it does not affect your experience. Don't let them rush you... you're paying big bucks for the meal and experience.


We really like walking down main street while it's almost empty and taking those family pictures... this is really true if you can get a reservation early. Make sure you allow enough time for that.

Good Luck,

Mark

Ok, personally, No I do not think that is is worth the money. We got way better princess interation at Mickey's tent in Toontown. The food is ok, but it is just breakfast. Having said that, we are still doing it. It is my DD's 5th birthday while we are there and this was her choice. Would I have picked it otherwise? No. It is costing us over $160 for four of us. I think that is crazy. So, apparently, I am nuts. We are eating there, but I am not thrilled about it.

Is it too expensive? Absolutely.

Is it a memorable experience? Yes…

Why? Princess Interaction & Location… location… location…

Does Disney have you where they want you? Yep, without a doubt.

I think it’s worth it once… after that you will know if you want to go back again.

We went last October and did BBB and then lunch. I have a daughter who is 8. The thing about it, is just being INSIDE the castle eating. Atmosphere was great, and we thought the food was pretty good as well. When we went to the bathroom, a little girl next to us kept sqealing "I'm in Cinderellas Bathroom!" And, the pictures came out beautiful.

All said and done, my daughter listed it in the top three favorite things about our trip.
