Hi Dave - yeh you are here!!!!

We did the Cinderella breakfast in the castle when we went in 2007. it is really good. It is very hard to get but I waited til I was my 180+10 days out and rang dead on 12 noon which is 7am their time and got through straight away.

If for some reason you didn't get that one - we did the Arkershus breakfast in Norway (EPCOT) this time and it was really good. I know it isn't in the castle so you don't have that side of it but it is only 1 credit on the dining plan - the castle is 2. I also thought the character interaction was better and there were more princesses. You get to see Ariel which you don't in the Castle.

All our other choices were really good. We loved California Grill but it wouldn't be very enjoyable for Mae! She is going to love the Character meals!!!
