Lunch at CRT question. Anyone has been?

[Ela]

In terms of characters/princesses show up - is there a difference between CRT breakfest and lunch?

We have a lunch booked (The only time available during our 4 day stay!)

But now I keep seeing references to the breakfest at CRT and I am worried how different it may be from lunch. Is it?? Or the characters show up regardlesss if it's breakfast or lunch?

Thanks,
Ela

We went last week for lunch and couldn't have been happier. I think from reading here is that the only difference between breakfast and lunch is the food. Dinner just has the fairy godmother and mice. We saw Cinderella in the lobby for our photos and the rest of the princesses stopped by our table during lunch. We saw Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Jasmine. The kids loved it!

We've been to breakfast and lunch and much prefer lunch. So much so we'll be returning for CRT lunch this May. Enjoy it!

We were there a week ago Tuesday. Had a 1pm lunch and my experience was exactly the same.
Cindy in the lobby.
Snow white, Belle, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, came around the tables. The pictures they make are included in the meal and the tip is included if you are in the meal plan. Hope this helps.

Lunch is great. We prefer it since we're not early risers. And, it's nice to have a midday break.

Yes, this is worth repeating - the tip IS included here. With all the talk of the dining plan excluding tips many may not realize that this is one where the tip IS included. It was our first TS meal so DH asked our server all about the bill and he told us it was included. Had we already used TS we would never have looked at the bill and automatically included a tip. Not that the extra few bucks would ruin a vacation, just want everyone to know about it.

The only bummer about lunch for us was that the girls wanted to wear their princess costumes but they aren't practical to wear all day to the park. It was our first day (ever!) and the kids really wanted to hit MK so we left Poly at 8 to go to MK, left MK at 10:45 to go back and change, left Poly at 11:30 for 12:10 ADR, then went back to change yet again, then hit MK for the third time in a day.

I would definitely not go to MK first if I were to do it again!!

Maybe I have this meal confused with Park Faire? I was flip flopping between lunch & dinner, but if the princesses are there, I will stick with lunch!

I did not know the picture was included with your meal. That is good! I know for most of the other character meals- the picture is not included.

I think you should bring their costumes with you. Especially if you have the strollers with you, because you can always carry an extra outfit with you to change them into if needed.
Last summer we brought two costumes down with us for our little princess. She wore one to the PPP and another for the Princess Storybook breakfast. The pictures that we were able to get from our camera and don't forget the photopass photographers made this a priceless experiance for us. And I intend to do it again this year. I just have to find some dresses that I actually like.

Yup, you are thinking of GF dinner.


CRT lunch is great. I have eaten there for my last 3 birthdays (and hope to eat there again in July). It is soooo much fun. I love the food (especially the BLT salad on the sample plate) and get the pasta every year. Plus, there is a surprise given to the children.

Last time I ate there I saw Cinderella (lobby), Fairy Godmother, Snow White, Jasmine, and Belle (blue dress).
