JUST BACK - Report on CRT Dinner

[momof2disprincesses]

Cinderella's Royal Table - Dinner - used 3 TS credits for 4 people.

We had a 5:45pm ADR and were seated within 5 minutes. Cinderella was waiting to greet her guests in the lobby, so we got pictures and autographs with her before eating.

Appetizers: 1 Caesar salad (DD13 and I were going to split this, but neither of us liked it, so DH ate it), 1 Shrimp Cocktail (it comes with shrimp and mussels, but DH asked for it without mussels and got extra shrimp), and 1 kid's appetizer (this was fruit, cheese and veggies with dip).

Entrees: DH got the King cut prime rib (he liked it, I took a taste and thought it was very bland). DD13 and I shared the beef filet. This was delicious!!!!!!! The sauce they put on made it so tasty! We shared and the steak was plenty big enough to share and they gave us each separate plates of potatoes. DD9 got the kid's chicken strips with fruit (it was no problem to sub fruit for the mashed potatoes). They also gave us bread, which was very good!

Desserts: The whole reason we wanted to eat here was for the slipper desserts! We got 2 of them and DD9 got a kid's crown sundae (which DH ate because she really wanted his slipper). DD13 and I shared the other slipper. It was much smaller than I expected and I wished we would have each had our own. I also got a cupcake for my b-day, which DH ate since I was all about eating that slipper The slipper was very yummy and we ate every last bite

Drinks: 3 diet cokes and 1 water (they let us know up front that no specialty drinks were included with the dining plan).

They also sang Happy Birthday to me (calling me "Lady Mom"). It was a nice atmosphere here and beautiful views. It was something we've always wanted to do, so I'm glad we tried it.

The meal would have cost $128.76. If we weren't on the dining plan (free or not), I don't think I'd spend that much for the food we got. I felt the choices here were very limited. However, I'm glad we tried it.

Stay tuned ... 50s Prime Time is next (it was a HOOT!)

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review. We will be eating at CRT ourselves in a few weeks. Did you have to order the slipper dessert ahead of time ?

Great review, thankyou!! Ron, we were at CRT in July and the slipper was on the regular menu, we did not have to order it ahead of time...and i have to agree the slipper as well as the setting made it totally worth it, very yummy

Thanks for the review! We'll be at CRT dinner in a few weeks and the main reason for dinner was the dessert slipper.

We'll likely use 2 TS credits for 2 adults and will share (or pay oop) with 1 child. Did you you have problems with the staff for sharing?

NO, the slipper is on the regular menu (priced at $10). You do not have to pre-order it. Almost everyone around us was getting them. They are pretty small though and I'm sure the ones you pre-order at the GF are bigger and fancier.

That was my biggest concern as we had planned out our credits carefully before we left, but we had NO problems at all sharing. We shared at WCC, Sci Fi, CRT, LeCellier's, and 50's PTC. It seemed like it was a pretty normal thing for the servers. We never had an issue at all, we never had bad service and we always left extra tips if we felt the service was outstanding.

At almost all places, they separated the food in the kitchen and often if we got potatoes or something else with the main meal, we got lots on separate plates. At 50's PTC, DD13 and I shared a sandwich that came with fries and we eat got a plate with the sandwich pre-cut and TONS of fries for each of us!

We've never done CRT. Was wondering...dinner menu looks so heavy - full dinner menu. Did you continue on at the park that night? I would think it wouldn't be fun walking around and going on rides feeling stuffed.

So good to hear this! Another thing to not have to worry about!

Have never dined here,sounds good may have to give it a try.

Thanks for the great review. We are leaving in 11 more days and have AR's at CRT. I also wanted to order the shrimp cocktail but didn't want the mussels and was wondering if they would let me just have shrimip and now I know. Thanks for the info. Would love to hear about your other dinners too!

I have to admit that the slipper dessert was also the main reason we had dinner at the castle....well being able to eat IN the castle was another one.

The meal left me a little disappointed however the service was so amazing(our waitress Krisz) was the best. So we don't regret it. Would we pay for that meal on a regular price? Absolutely not.

I would love to try lunch or breakfast though. I keep hearing good reviews.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you so much for another great review! We have ADR's at CRT for lunch on our trip...I am soooo excited!

We almost always have a dinner in Cinderella's Castle when we go to WDW, and I think a couple of the menu changes are great. I really love a shrimp cocktail, but like many of you I feel a little weirded out at the thought of a mussel, so I have asked for just shrimp twice, and gotten it easily and pleasantly each time.

I love the new(?) filet - like it much better than the prime rib. Now if they would just stop the concept of "root mash" and have plain mashed potatoes, I would be completely happy. Oh, dear, I have just revealed myself to be a meat and potatoes kind of girl!!!!

 

[jann1033]

what did you not like about the salad..was it odd or just don't like cesear salad?

 

[ceecee]

We had the ceaser salad last year and loved it!

 

[Delilah Bleu]

Great reviews. I am still debating if I will "try" to get an ADR here. It seems so difficult and the reviews of the food aren't that great.

 

[DisneyMim]

Just wanted to jump in. I didn't do any reviews for our two week trip (boy did we eat!!), but wanted to say that we had dinner in the castle and it was wonderful!! We loved it. Food was good, service was fantastic. We only made the ressie a few days in advance (we are not the kind to make resseies too far ahead) and got a late seating which we wanted. An added bonus was that a couple became engaged during our dinner. It was soooo romantic. The guy got down on one knee and asked his girlfriend to marry him and the cast members brought out the ring on a plate. SOOOOO CUTE!!! We had the slipper dessert and found it more than enough for hubby and me to share. Both the kids had their own desserts.

I'm glad so many people love the castle too, it's a wonderful place to have a meal, so special!!

 

[chanty]

Can you tell me what the menu looks like at this time?
We have reservations for dinner there too!

Can't wait!

Thanks!
