Is Rapunzel Usually at CRT

[VioletSparkles]

I'm having a dilemma with how to handle my fast pass selections.

I was lucky enough to score Anna and Elsa fast passes for the same day that I have CRT reservations. I am SO excited about this as I wanted my daughter all dressed up in her princess dress for our pictures when we meet the princesses. I kind of hit the jackpot because our A&E fast passes are for 5:30-6:30 and our CRT reservation is for 630 on our rest day so we won't even be heading to the park until 530 and I should be able to get this all done in one quick swoop before she has a chance to get too sweaty or hot.

my only dilemia is that i Can not get a fast pass to meet cinderella and rapunzel in the same time frame... i know we will meet cinderella at the dinner but Rapunzel is her absolute favorite princess (and who she will be dressed up like!) so meeting her is a must! i can get a cinderella and rapunzel fast pass for later in the evening but that would mean giving up wishes or electric parade which i can't get fast passes for on any other nights.

Does Rapunzel usually come to CRT dinner? OR should I plan to get a fast pass for another day and forgoing getting pics of my daughter dressed up like Rapunzel while meeting rapunzel?

I don't know about who is at the dinner (is dinner even characters? for some reason I thought they were just at breakfast and maybe lunch), but...

If your A&E window STARTS at 5:30, I would plan to be in the park and outside their line shortly before that. Even with FP+ there will still be a wait, and if you don't head over to WDW until 5:30, you may well miss your dinner.

Personally I've never seen the issue for needing a FP for a parade or fireworks - I always find perfectly good viewing on my own. So as long as the parade itself is going another night, if having her meet Rapunzel dressed as Rapunzel is super important to you, I'd forego the parade FP and get the meet & greet FP.

I've only eaten at CRT for breakfast but I don't think Rapunzel is at CRT at all. Since you are going in September you may not even need a fast pass for the meet and greet. I think I would just keep an eye on the wait times and hopefully get in line when there is a shorter wait time.

I had dinner there on Monday and the princesses who were there were Cinderella (downstairs photo op), Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White and Aurora. No Rapunzel or Belle (who I was hoping to meet). Fast passes for the Cinderella and Rapunzel M&G were readily available on the day when I was there so you shouldn't have a problem getting one if you leave it to the last minute.

Rapunzel is not a regular at CRT, but she is the most common sub when one of the regulars is MIA. Unfortunately, seeing her there cannot be planned. I would give up the Wishes FP to ensure your dd sees her, if it were me.

We ate at CRT in April and I was hoping to see Rapunzel too bc we had a FP to see her and Cinderella and since we would be seeing Cinderella a million times I felt like it would be a waste of a FP. Anyways Rapunzel was not there I really think they should add her though bc she would be a good addition to any character dining. Honestly I think they should have different princesses at CRT than they do at Akershus too. I think they should have their main princesses (snow white, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, and Cinderella) at CRT and then their not so main princesses at Akershus (Anna & Elsa, Rapunzel, Mulan, Jasmine, & Tiana). But thats just my opinion, lol, anyways rant over, lol

Every time we have been there, it is Cinderella in lobby, Snow White, Ariel in green dress, Jasmine and Auroroa.

Alright thanks for the advice! We grabbed a fp for Cinderella and Raounzel for after dinner and cancelled wishes!

I TOTALLY agree! I would think they would get more people doing BOTH if there wasn't princess overlap. I would LOVE to see Tiana especially!

Does Rapunzel usually come to CRT dinner?

1) No.
2) Characters are:
. . . Cinderella
. . . Ariel
. . . Aurora
. . . Jasmine
. . . Snow White
. . . Fairy Godmother (sometimes)
3) And, ALL are subject to change, due to issues such as
. . . absenteeism
. . . costume issues
4) However, they always find a way to have Cindy.

Had lunch on Friday at CRT. Rapunzel was there subbing in for Ariel. My DDs were actually upset because they were hoping to see Ariel in her green dress and we had already used a FP to meet Rapunzel on an earlier day but they got over it real quick once the first princess made it to the table. They loved it.

I know folks here say not to trust the Disney site, and its especially misleading on this. Rapunzel is the FIRST PICTURE when you expand on the photos in the CRT details under Dining.

Good to know she is a JV team sub. Thanks everyone.

That is so Funny been there 3 times and always met Cindy,Snow, Ariel, Belle and Aurora. But Rapunzel is on the first picture, about giving People wrong info.....

 

[BrdwayBoy]

I agree that it's rare - I've had dinner a number of times at CRT and usually it is Cindy downstairs, with Jasmine, Aurora, Snow White and Ariel upstairs. However the last time I ate there, we did have Rapunzel instead of Ariel. I was actually pretty excited!

I'd definitely go ahead and try to get the Rapunzel FP for another day during your trip.

Oh wow! WE were there for dinner that night and Rapunzel was not. We had just come from a Rapunzel FP though, and my Princess had a blast. I would cancel any other pass for the chance to watch how much fun my girls had with this lovely character. She and her photographer were so good with the girls, and the photos we have are awesome.

Incidentally, the interaction we all had with Tink was the best ever! SHe spent plenty of time chatting with teh girls and had more hugs than could be counted.
