We did the breakfast during our last trip in February and loved it. The character interaction was great and the food was spectacular. We were able to take pictures with Belle when we first arrived and then Ariel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Jasmin came around to the table. We all agreed that we would make this breakfast a regular part of our future trips. In fact, we are going to it again in June. I have not been to the dinner but have heard mixed reviews about the food. Please post when you get back and let us know your opinion of the food. Enjoy!

We had breakfast there in September and LOVED it!! It was by far our favorite character meal we had. Food was great, service was great, and the characters were amazing. We saw Belle in her YELLOW dress when we first came in. The other characters that rotated around the tables were Snow White, Mulan, Mary Poppins, and Jasmine. It will be a "must do" breakfast for us from now on.

HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR DINNER!

Yes, Ariel was at our breakfast. But, keep in mind that they do change all of the time.

What about the lunch ???? can anyone tell me how that is with the princesses? we have lunch ressies but would change to breakfast if others thought that would be best.

If I were you, I'd stick to breakfast or dinner. I'm not trying to say something about you, but sometimes, it's hard to stick to your reservation when it's a lunch, because you'll be be in line for, let's say, Test Track when all of a sudden, you realize you have to get to lunch in 2.5 minutes! And it's a crowd day! You'd have to plan VERY carefully to get in Norway to the restaurant 45-60 minutes before your reservation time for a lunch. Trust me! A nice morning start or a 90 min. relaxation period at the end of the day is always MUCH BETTER! than trying to run around the park to get your table before the characters start coming at a lunch!

It's much more complicated in the middle of the day!

We are Sept 7th - 17th so I am not to worried about the crowds but I probably will try breakfast

breakfast there is lovely and plentiful buffet, be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN (by callin WDW to check) that dinner is with normal food and not ASHERKAS food, the menu is very unusual to say the least. Breakfast is regular pancake egg, bacon foods. Triple check is my serious advice.
Have a great trip!!

we did the breakfast last June, we had Aurora, Belle, Snow White, Jasmine, Mulan. They rotate "Princess" Characters, Disney doesnt guarantee which "Princesses" will be there. It is a must do if you have a little or big PRINCESS in your party

We went for dinner last year during free dining. I was not impressed. It was very crowded, the interaction from the princesses was limited. We first got their and met Ariel and took a picture then waited a really long time before another princess came along (this wasn't our first character meal either). Then I really was NOT impressed with dinner. Maybe we just aren't adventerous eaters but I really didn't like it. For an "appetizer" we were allowed a virgin coctail, then we went to the buffet for some things (I can't remember what, like cold cuts and maybe shrimp). Then came our meal, not great. Then came a shared dessert platter. I have had better.

We are going to give it another try, but this time we are going for breakfast. I am really hoping it was just a bad day (it was REALLY hot that day) and I know we should enjoy the food. My are still really into princesses so I thought this would just work out better for my family.

we've eaten lunch there and shown up about 15 mins before our ADR time. Why do you need to show up 60 mins before your ADR?

I was there in Sept 2005 last time I was there and the parks were CRAZY! It wasn't too bad on the first day though!

You said you were there at lunch. What time of year?
Crowded? Yes? No?

If you are going to dinner there be careful they don't try to suck you into getting pictures with princess. That package will add $32 to your bill for a stinkin 8x10.
We dined there in Feb.'07. I wasn't impressed with the pasta selection (Bow tie with chicken). DH liked his mustard glazed salmon, but not much else.
Great place to take YOUR pictures of the princesses. Belle wears her everyday (Light Blue w/apron) outfit. Ariel, Jasmine, Aurora and Snow White were there also. DDs loved it!

We went for lunch during Easter week last year. We arrived early but had to wait until our ADR time. We enjoyed it. My dd was so excited to be with the princesses that I made ressies again for our upcoming trip.

Wow, I think you're the first person I've ever heard say it was "crazy" during September! Must've been really busy in 2005.

We were there in September 2006, and it was so dead. Really surprised me after hearing how most rides had such long waits. Fast pass wasn't even operating when we went.

Why in the world would you show up 45-60 minutes before an ADR? Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of having one?

Thanks for the tips.

We ate there during our trip this past September.

Character interaction: If you have/are a princess fan, this restaurant is a great place to go. We met: Ariel (in blue dress), Belle (in her "plain" blue and white dress), Snow White, Jasmine, and Sleeping Beauty. The characters--at least when we were there--moved through quite fast. They do stay long enough for a picture and autograph though.

Food: I thought it was just "okay". The cold buffet had stuff like various kinds of cheese, breads, I think some cold shrimp and fish, and a few salads. I'm not a salad person, so I just took some of the cheese and bread. It was fine; nothing fancy but edible.

For my main entree I had the BBQ tips and corn bread. Nothing remotely exotic about it, but they weren't the greatest. The tips were tough and the corn bread really dry. Dh had some kind of meat-loaf dinner (started with a "k" on the menu) and that looked a bit better. The kids all had cheesy ravioli which looked really good.

Dessert was really good; a platter with three different kinds of desserts.

It was a fun meal; and although the food wasn't the greatest we're coming back on our next trip.

What's the breakfast food like? People keep saying its normal but I'd love a little more elaboaration. And I thought it was family style but someone said buffet. Which is it?
