New! Pg 26! May 2013 - The Nolonger Tickerless, disorganized PTR. FINALLY GOING HOME!

Browsing the boards, and looking over reviews for Be Our Guest.

Sadly (or not. Haven't decided yet... ) Belle will not be at the restaurant. Only the Beast.

Then, I stop and think.

I had heard that Belle wasn't in TS anymore.... and a quick google of the boards show that only the people who take part in the play get their picture taken with Belle. Judging from some of the threads... .as an adult with no kids... my chances of that happening seem pretty slim.

So... my big- giant-I may throw a temper tantrum worthy of a little child if it doesn't happen must do, just isn't happening. :furious::confused::(

Of course, this hits me literally , in the middle of the night/morning... so I nudge my DH, and mumble something about it, and something about Akershus.

Which, somehow, he remembered this morning.

And magically, I believe we have 1 TS credit left.

I'm beginning to be very, very thankful that Ohana is the only breakfast we have booked, as it looks like Akershus, a place I've never had ANY interest in dining in, is going to be one of our must do meals. :\ Mixed feelings about this.

Anyone have experiences here?

I have no experience with Akershus since it became a princess meal. Prior to that we ate there for lunch and didn't care for it.

However, I do have experience with Echanted Tales with Belle. You can indeed volunteer to participate! Once all the parts are given they ask if anyone else wants to participate. Those people become dishes and utensils. They parade around the room with Belle and get to pose with Belle individually at the end. She quickly leaves after pictures. I am getting to that part on my TR. Hopefully today. Downloading the pics now. My son was the Beast!

We've done CRT twice but only for dinner. Hard to compare those because dinner isn't a meet & greet type meal plus it's dinner food.

Our dinner at CRT was a meet and greet.....is Akershus not?

Akershus is.

At CRT both times we went we met Cinderella before dinner but during dinner the mice came out and circled quickly (no stops for pics/signatures) and the fairy godmother came out and did a little show. Not a real meet & greet during dinner tho. Was yours like that? I know lunch the princesses are there but at dinner it's just Cindy beforehand...

Oh wow . We had the first dinner seating, and princesses were there. I heard they don't do the mice any more.

That would have been cool to see!

It was cute - I got a wand and Matt got a... sword maybe? And you wished on them and the fairy grandmother did a little thing. The mice were cute!

Bahaha. They still did .the wishing ceremony. I had to ask our server for them though- he wasn't sure wed want them.

Yeah it was really cute - looked just like cinderella's castle but all sparkly!

Oh my gosh.

You make this banner with pockets and hang it by your door. It's for a gift swap and then you bring (make or buy) gifts for others.

Ya I saw you posted. IMO Disney screwed that upbut we've been on 0 and had fun

You can print out envelopes for tips at http://www.themouseforless.com/downloads/trip/mousekeeping.shtml

I use to do this, but stopped. The last few stays, I tipped daily and left a thank you note for mousekeeping. Our last stay, I actually got a thank you note back and a towel animal from the mousekeeper!

That sounds like fun!

And yeah. It's a mess. Curious if they'll release a statement. Lots of unhappy people, that's for sure.......

thanks! I'll give it a shot. I've chatted with mousekeeping in the hall, never tipped though.

Also, worried if cm appreciation cards would be weird to hand out.:/
