Question about Askershus (sp?) Princess meals...

[MickeyMomOfThree]

Oh no, now I feel !! (that's supposed to be a guilty face )

Well, at least your DH and DD's won't be at me.

I'm glad the overall experience was a good one though and I'll make note to myself not to order the pasta!!!

Oh, gosh, Don't feel bad at all. I loved that we went. The kids had SOOOOO much fun, and it was my DH's favorite meal. I am so glad you encouraged me to go. I am a salad nut anyway and loved the salad bar, I am just a picky eater. I wish I wasn't, but it's how I was raised and have gotten better slowly. I got nervous so I went with the pasta dish. It serves me right for not trying something new!

Don't feel bad at all, I am so happy we went. It was a wonderful, new experience and we would definatly go back. I would just be a bit more adventorous next time. I also have the most beautiful photo of my younger 2 DDs with Belle and DD6 got to meet Ariel with her feet and DD9 got to see Belle, Cinderella, and Jasmine--- her favorites!

It was great, and if I implied differently I worded it wrong. I loved your advise and am so happy you shared it!

I'd love to hear a comparsion between the Epcot princess meal and CRT. I did CRT (after BBB) with my daughter last year and she loved it...but would maybe like something a bit different this year. Not sure if the princess meals in these two places are similar...??

Sure wish they had a Fairy meal!!!

TIA for any input. Please chime in if you have a character experience favorite for a girl who loves characters of all kinds. (We already have Chef Mickey planned and she's not nutty about Pooh and friends).

I'm considering 1900 Park Faire for a change of characters, but what is the "dress code" for grownups? And I read it's the stepmother and stepsisters...?

Thanks!!!

We've done CRT for breakfast and were completely unimpressed. We'll do it, again, when DD2 is older and will remember it...but it's not something we do EVERY trip. It's just not worth it, for us.

I think the princess breakfast at Norway is a LOT better. I can't comment on the food quality (DW, DS, and DD2 all enjoyed it...especially the potato caserole) as both eldest DD and I were "coming back" from a stomach bug, when we went a couple weeks ago (the 11th of December). But the character interaction was stellar. And the variety and quantity of food was MUCH better than CRT (even if I didn't eat any of it). CRT wins on atmosphere (I mean...you're EATING in the castle...can't beat that!) but in just about ever other way I preffered the Princess breakfast. OH, and remember that your initial photo (with Belle, in her Yellow dress, for us) at the Princess breakfast is INCLUDED in the the price...not extra like it is at Chef Mickeys. We saw Belle (up front), Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White, and Mulan...got some GREAT pics with all of them and they all spent a decent amount of time with the kids.

As for 1900 Park Faire...go for it. I'd peg "dress code" as extremely causual. You'll see lots of little one's dressed up in their princess best...but the adults are in typical theme park/vacation attire. You will NOT feel "underdressed" in a Tshirt and shorts, IMHO. The characters (for dinner!! Breakfast is, I think, Mary Poppins) are the stepmother, stepsisters, Prince Charming, and Cinderella. The Stepmother and Stepsisters are AWESOME...or have been both times we've been there since they replaced the mice. In character, but not scary at all. Very campy and fun!

Have done Norway multiple times for B, L & D, and CRT for dinner, and they are both not that great. Character selection is pretty good at Norway, but many times they are rushed, food is bad at both, service is subpar at both (we had a horrible server at CRT for my birthday ) and both are cramped.

We much prefer 1900 Park Fare. Happy eating, Tiger
