Silly CRT question

[QJ411]

Good Morning everyone,

Can you guys give me some info on CRT? Like how much it is (They charged $20. on my CC already for our 12/18 ps), and if there was anything we just "can't miss". Are there that many princesses that comes out and do you get to take photos with them?

How is it REALLY in there? Is it like a madhouse with screaming children and unhappy princesses? Please give me a clue...thanks!

We've been twice and both experiences were magical.
A lot of people have different opinions on the food. My opinion is that the food is OK. Nothing to write home about, but will fill you up. The stuffed french toast is well known.
We've had 4 and 5 princesses. Cinderella is always there. Both visits had Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. The first visit had Jasmine while the second had Belle and Mary Poppins.
The princesses are all anounced one by one and they walk around the dining room from table to table. You can get their autograph and a picture. We've found that they like it if you talk to them in 'character'. We asked Belle about any good books she'd read lately and Snow White about Dopey. They really play the part. I've read conflicting reports about them being rushed. Now they don't spend an eternity with you, but we've found the time ample. My DD has been thrilled both times and they all thought it was cute. DS is 2 1/2 and got a LOT of attention also, he wanted to hug and kiss them all- they loved that too!
I think everyone should try this- especially if they have a princess fan of a girl. It is truly special.
Cost- not sure- around $19 per adult? Check wdwig.com for specific cost.
BTW- never seen screaming children at WDW LOL! We've never experienced a problem with this at a meal and the princesses certainly weren't unhappy. All were friendly with smiles and happy to see you.

Ahh... the much sought after CRT breakfast!!

My DD (age 6) and I ate there in October. I think by virtue of its seating size (I think it is the smallest of all the Character Breakfasts in that it only seats 60 if that) the chaos is minimal.

We had a 8:50 PS but arrived early at 8:15 and were seated right away. When we left a little after 9, it was a bit crowded in the lobby- which is small- so that made it seem a little zooy but it wasn't zooy in the dining room.

At our seating in October we saw Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Belle and Aladdin. Oh- and Mary Poppins was in the lobby of the castle but sometimes I have heard that the Fairy Godmother is there. They rotated through stopping at each tables and took time for an autograph and photo.

I don't think we had any small child melt downs during out dining time. It was fun to watch the other kids interactions with the Princesses at the neighboring tables. Many of the little girls were in their princess attire. Very cute.

As to the price- I don't remember exactly but I think my daugter was $9.99 and mine was $23.99. They do charge a bit on your card to hold the reservation but that is applied to the total.

We had fun- hope you do too!!

Thanks for all the info...I'm just trying to prepare myself and brace DH for this breakfast. He wasn't so thrilled when I told him about the PRINCESS breakfast.

But we both can't wait now. We have an 8:30 PS..and I THINK MK opens at 8 or 8:30 that morning, hopefully, it won't be too crowded in the park yet.

Thanks again for the info. I guess the price is pretty much the same all around, we ate breakfast at Chef Mickey's last Dec. and if I remember correctly, it was pretty expensive and they convinced us to buy the pictures they took of us.

Sorry...don't mean to ramble...thanks again!
