We went first week of July. Had checked out the set menu before we went. It is quite limited and very expensive at 48 Euro per adult and 20 Euro per child. But we were willing to pay this to avoid the usual scrum that is involved in meeting prncesses.
When we got to the restaurant, w aske for a table near teh dancefloor, but were seated right down teh back in a booth. Not long after being seated, Cinderella arrived with her prince, as did Snow White. They danced, and we were told we could go up to the dancefloor to watch. When the dance was over, we were told to return to our tables, and the princesses would see us individually. My daughter was in full Cinderella costume and she was ecstatic. Cinderella said hello to her and told her that she would come to see her at the table. However, the princesses were constantly being approached on the floor, and after waiting for her to come, Cinderella left without getting to our table. I was told that she might not reurn and my daughter was devastated having been promised by the princess herself. Snow White came to our table and then there was a break.
20 minutes later, Belle and Sleeping Beauty arrived. Again, there were kids approaching them on the floor, and it was only after I complained that one managed to make it to the rear of the restaurant. I noticed that those sat at the front of the restaurant were staying for the longest time, with none finishing their meals all the time we were there. They were lingering over coffee and thus the princesses could not make it to the back of the room. Each set of princesses only had an allocated time slot, and because people were being a little selfish and not staying at their table, we lost out.
In the end, I managed to ensure that Sleeping Beauty came to our table also. She was lovely, as was Prince Philip, and they made a big fuss of my daughter and son. All in all, I would say that it is much preferable to the long queues at the castle stage, but make sure that you are not passed by. If everyone behaved themselves in here it would be fantastic, but I felt hat some kids were encouraged to run around after the characters, spoiling it for others.
If you decide to go, ensure you are not seated at the rear of the room and be prepared for the menu as it is quite limited, especially for vegetarians. The price includes water and wine, but this usually means 1 half glass of house wine each so don't get excited!!
