New menu@ CRT

[gracie1]

I'm so glad you had a great experience.

Would you mind to tell us what you had to eat? Particulary about the french toast and the potatoes.

Thanks,

I was wondering about the breakfast items as well. Especially the french toast and eggs!! lol

 

[RadioFanatic]

We didn't have the french toast so I can't speak to that. The eggs were more like a souffle than an omelet with cheese, tomato, spinach and onion. It came with sausage, bacon and potatoes, all of which were good. The potatoes were diced with tomatoes and spices - kind of tasted mexican. the pastries were great - we had croissants, danish and cinnamon buns. We got more croissants and sausage but were too full to have more. Hope this helps!

This is not the "updated menu" that everyone is talking about. No new menus have been posted yet....but apparantly they have changed due to the people that just got back. Hmm...still deciding if this is going to be worth the money or not. How far in advance do I have to cancel this and get the refund?

Send the message with your dollars

As long as people are willing to shell out $50 for substandard food, nothing will change, why should it

If attendance declines and it no longer sells out, then maybe it would change

I miss the days when we would go there for dinner for the food

Is that why you don't go there? Because of the food? I totally agree with you....if people keep paying the price for the new menu then it will not change. I don't know why they changed it. Most people that choose the french toast option would want all the sides including eggs. Or atleast I would. I am just torn on what to do. This is our first trip and will probably be our only trip....so do I keep it for the "experience" of eating in the castle? Is it really that spectacular to go inside the castle?? Or is it just like going into another restaurant or dining room?

You can pick the french toast option (which I believe came with bacon/sausage) and ask for the other things too - you are entitled to them. I could have had the french toast in addition to the egg souffle option I picked; however, I was just too full.

I think it is all for the Castle experience - taking your Princess to see this castle - inside the very high ceiling, the flags, etc... the Princesses run thru - but the kids dont mind - its all a whirl to them... I have to say your pictures always include someone else in the background, make sure you dont have a window behind you with the sun streaming in, that messes up the picture practice before they come out!

The food is not the draw... the service is not the draw...

I'm lucky, I wanted to eat in the castle, and take my mom and dd - and I loved it! Not the food, the experience... and I'm lucky dd didnt care for it - she prefers the Norway Princess Breakfast!!

So we dont pay the price - but I know there will always be a demand... and the price will only increase...

vary. All I can say is that we have done lunch at the castle the last three trips. My wife and I spoke about not doing it on the next trip and exploring other restaurants again. On this trip my six year old daughter did BBB before CRT and had a birthday celebration which included a card signed by the princesses and a song from the Happy Birthday song by the CM. On our drive to the beach after Disney my wife mentioned that we should probably go back to CRT on the next trip.

It appears to be worth it for us. We'll see when we actually have to make the ADRs for the next trip. Our son is now considered an adult by Disney so the cost will be a bit higher.

 

[gracie1]

Thanks for the information. I will think about it. We have no children going, just me and my mom. Maybe we will go. We don't plan on going back to disney (and if we do it will be years and years away!) so maybe I should keep it, say we did it and be done with it!!

I am most concerned about the french toast. We ate at CRT in May and loved all the food. We are planning to return this May specifically for the french toast. We do love seeing the princesses. But if they have changed the french toast and no longer offer all you can eat we will probably skip going. We only have one child going with us this year. I still have to please the adults with a decent meal.

 

[singnring]

All I can say is that our party of 5 Disney adults and 2 infants were very displeased when we left.
Not only was the food, in our opinion, bad, but the staff was almost to the point of rude.
From the moment we walked up to the check-in desk, we met CM's who appeared to have all gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.
We were there for an 8:20 ADR so no excuses like, "It's been a bad day".
The photo CM's herded us like cattle, rudely I might add.
The photographer made no attempts to get my GS2 or GS1 to even look at her for the photos, nor did she worry about whether people were looking, smiling, arranged intelligently, etc. BAD PHOTOS!!
Once seated, our waiter was hurried and barely pleasant with us. He quickly ran through the way breakfast worked Never mentioning the AYCE part, and ran off to get OJ. Someone lese brought fruit and pastries and plopped them on the table.
We had to ask about other drinks to get something besides OJ. This, BTW, is something we encountered at almost every TS meal!!
Waiter then gave us our choices for meals. One picked FT and the rest went w/ the "omelet". BIG mistake! It was very unappetizing and as another poster said, it must have been MW'd. I couldn't believe this was the breakfast we had so anticipated!
We felt rushed through the place from start to finish.
As I said before, this was our first trip to CRT and will definitely be our last!

Thank you all for helping me decide on weather to keep or dump our CRT ADR’s. Not just this thread, for the past 3 months I have been reading about how bad CRT is and the bad service is and cafeteria-style food. I have decided to have my birthday dinner and cake at Akershus.

We are dumping the CRT ADR trying to pick up Akershus ADR for November 30.

I will dump the CRT ADR to night when I get home at around 8pm if any one wants it, providing I can get Akershus’s for the same night.

our CRT ADR is on Nov 30 @ 710pm 2-adult 1-child

What was the french toast like? Just everyday french toast like you would make at home? I can't believe instead of just making the big plate and bringing out that they resorted to doing this. I am still on the fence about whether to pay for the "experience" or not of getting inside the castle. But there definately are a lot of bad reviews going around about CRT. I am leaning more and more towards cancelling this one and eating elsewhere.

Is the "French Toast" still the same really good dish as before, that is much more than just everyday French Toast?

As one who has long loved CRT purely for its food and is hoping to go back in February for the first time in three years, it would be a real disappointment if it had changed to some generic dish pulled out from under a heat lamp.

This was the EXACT experience we had for breakfast there on 9/27. I was so very disappointed! I ate there for breakfast a year ago with my DM & DSIL & this time it was me, DH, DS, & DD. I was super excited to get an 8:15 breakfast reservation & told my family they were going to just love the potatoes & stuffed french toast. I was so sad that he gave us the 3 choices & that was it. No potatoes & the french toast they had this year was not the same & not anywhere near as good. No offer to bring any more of anything either...only refilled coffee once.

To top it off, the entire staff was rushing around like they were in a huge hurry & the princesses all barely gave us any time ~ just enough for a quick picture.

Certainly different from last year & a bit more expensive.

I would like to know if the french toast has changed too! Still debating about eating at CRT or not. If the french toast has changed then I'm cancelling! lol

I'm so glad you had a great experience.

Would you mind to tell us what you had to eat? Particulary about the french toast and the potatoes.

But if they have changed the french toast and no longer offer all you can eat we will probably skip going. We only have one child going with us this year. I still have to please the adults with a decent meal.

Ok, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one. Last year the food was simply amazing...especially the cheesy potatoes & the cream cheese stuffed french toast with that unbelievable blueberry sauce!

We were so disappointed this year that I still can't believe it! The french toast was called the same thing but it was not. It had about a teaspoon of cream cheese in the very middle & was served with a few fresh strawberries & blueberries. No sauce...such a bummer.

We didn't even get to try the potatoes because it wasn't served with the french toast & our waiter never said we could have any thing from the other choices.

So very disappointed!

I suppose the downside with CRT is that if you tell them you'll never go to CRT again it doesn't really matter... WDW will always have the new guests and those who still think it's worth it so the tables will always be full. This is probably the only restaurant they can get away with that too...

But imo, I thought it was worth it when we went 9/22 for lunch.

 

[maraki527]

Wondering if they changed lunch

FWIW, we found our meal at Akershus... well the whole experience, far inferior to that at CRT.
