Question about Princess Meals

[Abbeysmom]

Hi Everyone~
I am a newbie here, and am so excited to be on this site with fellow disney fanatics. We are planning our first ever DW vacation for this November (I am so excited as I have wanted to go for year!!!), and I am working on getting our lists of must eat places together. We will only be able to stay five days/four nights. We have a DD who will be 4 at vacation time who loves the Disney Princesses. I know that CRT is a must go too and plan on calling and booking our ADR at exactly 180 days out. I also want to schedule CP with Pooh and the gang. We are also planning on trying to go to Liberty Tavern for Mickey and everyone. My question is what other character meal should I try for? I am thinking since we are doing the CRT at breakfast (thats the plan anyway) of maybe making a BBB appointment and then scheduling either 1900Park Fare or the Norway Princess meal for immediately following the appt. so DD will be dressed up. My question is this~ which would would allow us to see the widest variety of Princesses that we would not probably see at CRT? Also I have seen different comments about the Norway meal and wondered is it better to go at lunch or supper? Is the food any different either way? DD and I are pretty picky eaters. DH will eat just about anything~ is this meal buffet or is it order from a menu? I have seen what appear to be conflicting reports about this meal, and just don't know what to do. Any and all help will be appreciated.

I would probably do Chef Mickey's instead of Liberty tree tavern.

I would also do Norway instead of 1900 park fare....
thought the food was very good at norway with the BEST princess
interaction......only place ariel goes...(not guaranteed)but has
been there all 3 times I have been.

At norway there is a cold buffet considered your appetizer.....
then you choose an entree.....and they bring a dessert platter.

We have been to just about all of the character meals except the one at the Garden Grill...

Love CRT and CP for breakfast.....
Love Norway for lunch

I think between CRT and Norway you would see all the Princessess..... now if you want to see Mickey and Friends I would suggest Chef Mickeys instead of Liberty Tree... while I wasn't impressed with the food at either place I do think there is better character interaction (or at least as far as we have experienced) at Chef Mickeys.

I like 1900 Park Fare because my fav. is Mary Poppins... and the food is okay. But I must say that the character interaction here was slow and they just weren't that fun..... which makes me sad because I love Mary....oh well....

We did eat at Norway for the first time this past Nov.... it was for lunch.... my DD's 18th birthday..... she has food allergies and is a vegertarian... the chef came to the table... talked to her about what she likes... and made a speical meal for her.... no extra cost....the rest of us loved our food as well.

if you are worried about the food at the Norway princess meal, why don't you try breakfast - it seems to be more "normal" food. That's our plan.

Chef Mickey's is also really great.

Thanks everyone for your help! I think we are going to do the CRT and the Norway princess meal (we may try breakfast just to be safe on everyone eating the food), and I do think we will switch to Chef Mickey's it sounds pretty interesting. I think DD will really enjoy it. I think those three and the CP buffet should be plenty of character meals, and maybe we can have a "normal" meal LOL.
Thanks again and I am sure I will have more questions as I continue planning our trip!!

I agree that Norway and CRT are good choices for Princess meals. We did the Norway breakfast and enjoyed it. I would also change LLT to Chef Mickeys. My DGD like Garden Grill as well.
