Princess Dining Choices

[sabina720]

Can anyone tell me which princesses are featured at each restaurant? And which is the the best experience for DD3?
Thanks!

Norway has quite a few princesses...my DS5 doesn't like the princesses too much, but there are several there. I have heard that it is a fun place to dine! Cinderella's Royal Table, and 1900 Park Fare at the GF. I am not sure who is where, but I am sure someone else will clear that up! GL!!

We have done both Cinderella's Royal Table and The Princess Breakfast in Norway. While we love the pagentry and seeing Cinderella at CRT, we like the ease of ADR's at Norway and emptiness of Epcot at breakfast. The food at both is good - CRT is family style and they do take special requests and Norway is buffet. The cost of Norway is great compared to CRT and for DD3 that should be fine.

We have ADR's for the princess lunch in Norway for our upcoming trip. We have not been to this before but friends who just went last week showed us their pics and they saw Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty & Ariel.

I have read lots of really positive reports about this princess lunch on the boards here. Can't wait to see my DD (3) with all of her favorite princesses!

CRT is cool because you are eating in the castle and they do the wishing ceremony. Akershus has better food.

We have done 1900 Park Fare at the GF with our DD(3 at the time) for dinner. It is Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Step Sisters and Stepmother. It is a bufffet, and one of my favortie places to eat. The step sisters are so funny. I think I might of enjoyed it more than my DD. If you go for breakfast there are other chacters there.
Hope this helps

we did Princesses in Norway this past May and our grandkids loved it. Our granddaughter was 4 and our grandson was almost 6....he enjoyed it as much as our gd did....
The food was great and the relaxed time spent there with the princesses taking their time made this a perfect choice.
hope you have fun

one you are guaranteed to see is Cinderella at CRT or 1900 Park Fare. Belle is usually the greeter at Askerhus but that can vary. At 1900 Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Druscilla and Anastasia are also present at dinner. While the step mother and step sisters are quite funny, it may not be entertaining to a three year old.

Askerhus and CRT are set up the same way with princesses. A greeter with whom the pictures are taken for the official photos and four princesses and/or leading ladies at the meal stopping at each table. We usually do CRT and have seen at various times, Alice, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, The Fairy Godmother, Jasmine, Mary Poppins and Snow White. Snow White, Belle and Aurora have been the most common.

Wow, we were thinking of breakfast in Norway and we may book that one, I didn't realize there could be so many there. My daughter loves Ariel so hopefully she will be there. Thanks so much for the helpful info! 7 more days until we can make our ADR's

We had lunch at Akershus this past June, and they did not have Ariel. They did have Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White and Cinderella! The price for the lunch also included a family photo package.

We did the princess breakfast in Norway on our last trip and saw Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel and Aurora. It was also a very nice breakfast buffet and you get a free photo with the greeting princess. And as said before, being in Epcot before the park opened was nice too!

We did CRT for breakfast back in 2005. They had two options, hot or cold breakfast. We chose hot and it was probably the worst food we had the entire week we were there. The princesses were great and it was fun being in MK before it opened. On our way out there were definately some parents waiting for tables who were losing their patience with their kids and with other families who were waiting. We were glad to have made a very early reservation.

This upcoming trip in May we are going to have our girls get made up at DD BBB in the morning and take them for the princess lunch at Norway. Looking forward to that.

We are doing CRT and Akershus on our upcoming trip. I also originally booked dinner at 1900 PF, but cxld it b/c the menu did not appeal to me and I decided 5 character meals was enough for the kiddos. 1900 PF is Cindy, the prince, the stepsisters, and the stepmother...you might also get one of the mice. CRT and Akershus can vary. You're guaranteed Cindy at CRT, but you're also likely to get Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, and Belle in her blue dress (and sometime Mary Poppins)...and in some cases, the Fairy Godmother. At Akershus, you are most likely to get Belle in her yellow dress, Ariel in her green dress, Snow White, Aurora, and sometime Cindy or Alice from Alice in Wonderland. I've heard the food at CRT leaves a lot to be desired for the price tag, but you're paying for the experience and photos. Akershus isn't too much cheaper, but the food is better and it's still a really neat atmosphere + less chaotic.

Norway will be perfect since we are staying at the Beach Club, we can walk right over in the morning! Can't wait!

In August, we had dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table and then breakfast the very next morning at Norway. What can I say, my wife is a princess nut The Royal Table was so much better then I was expecting, getting to dine within the castle was an experience that my wife will treasure for ever and the atmosphere in there was amazing. Breakfast in Norway was sureal, we had 9:45am reservations, after the greeting photo we were escorted to our seats and there was one big group of about 12 people (with no children) and then 2 tables of 4 and us and that was it. It was so sureal, the Princesses had no body to talk to, they ended up gathering in a group and playing jokes on wait staff (while always maintaining character) which was pretty cool to see.
