We went in 2006. The doll, in my opinion, is very cheap and not high quality. My daughter loved it at the time, but it quickly found its way to the garage sale pile because she prefers her American Girl doll.
The experience, however, was absolutely magical. Me, my mom and my DD, who was 7 at the time, loved it. The food was yummy (but light, so don't count on it as a meal - we were hungry again in no time). The entertainment was very nice, lots of singing by Rose Petal and storytelling. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. However, not enough that we are anxious to spend the $$$ to do it again in August!
HTH!
