Storybook or Cindys

[Elaine Guidi]

I have made a PS for the Storybook breakfast already. Once I get to 60 days I was going to book Cindys. Is it a good idea to do both on one trip and if not which one would you recommend (thats if I do actually manage to book Cindys). One reason I thought about doing both is that it will possibly be 3-4 years until our next trip and I feel my kids may have grown out of this style of breakfast by then. Another think I may mention is that because of the tickets I will have and the fact that we are trying to pack loads into this trip I am a little restricted on which days I would want to book Cindys anyway. TY for any help

IMHO, if you are so lucky enough to get both (at the CRT 60 day mark) and have the time for both, then go for it!!!

Whether this is a once in a lifetime trip on an annual trip, it would make no difference.

Don't let anyone tell you differently!!

If you take the time to call and are lucky enough to get them both, and have the money to pay for them, it shouldn't be anyone's business how you enjoy your expensive, hard-earned vacation!


Have a wonderful time!!!

We have done Cindy's three years in a row and just went to Storybook last week. The entire family preferred Storybook. The last time we went to Cindy's the lobby was packed, and we had to wait a good 30 minutes for our table. We felt Storybook was much more relaxed, the venue roomier and the characaters not as rushed. We also saw Mulan who is a family favorite.

storybook, hands down!

That is great to hear. At the last minute, we decieded to go to Disney for Halloween. Too late for Cindy's. We did get ressies for Storybook.

What and Where is the storybook breakfast? I haven't heard of this one!

I want to do a character breakfast while we are at WDW during spring break and I am sure it is going to be crowded there.

Wow, that's great to hear because we booked Storybook this coming trip instead of CRT, I was a little annoyed with our last visit to CRT's and we couldn't make Storybook, so decided to just do that one this time.

westjones-The Princess storybook breakfast is in Norway's Restaurant Akershus (sorry if spelled wrong) at the WS in EPCOT. It started back in August or the end of July due to popular demand (I believe) as a test but went over well...you can book it 120 days out and it doesn't require a credit card deposit which really messed us up at CRT's this past time.

Similar characters appear there that appear at Cindy's except Cinderella, although I did hear a rumor she was there once or twice?? Belle, Aurora, Mary Poppins, Snow White & Jasmine seem to be fairly regular with switching out for Mulan. I could be missing another, but you get the idea

OH THIS IS PERFECT!!!!
Sorry for shouting but I am SO excited.

I am marking my calendar for the 120 days.

So do I just ask for the 'Storybook Breakfast in Epcot's Norway?' Do I need to know a time?

Is there a webpage with more info?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know about this!

Oh, BTW, how much is this activity per person?
Thanks again for telling me about it! I just told DH and he likes the idea of doing this at Epcot much better than at Magic Kingdom!

Having not had the opportunity to spend much time in WS yet, what is the Norway restaurant like? (I am not even going to TRY to spell it!) Is there a fun ambiance to it? We did manage to get CRT for this trip and want the experience of dining in the castle once, but am curious about the Storybook one.

Thanks!

Do both, we did last trip. Nice to walk through WSC before it is open, and the setting in Norway could not be more perfect. We told DS it was where Snow White lived with the dwarfs.

Of course if you are lucky enough to get CRT you will be able to see Cinderella there.

We have a DD who is princess crazy. Last year she was happy enough to have dinner in the castle. She didn't know about breakfast, then. She was so amazed that she ate in the castle and that she had her picture taken with Cinderella, who is her favorite.

We always do a cahracter breakfast on our vacations, so we first booked the Storybook Breakfast, and we were lucky enough to get into CRT for breakfast for on our second day trying (and it's my birthday, woo hoo ).

We plan on keeping both of them. I figure she is only little once and someday this won't be her thing. I am going to enjoy watching her meet princesses just as much as she will. These memories will last me a lifetime and I figured, what the heck. Do both of them. Plus, our little DD should get a kick out of it.

 

[westjones]

Does anyone know if they have a 'vegetarian' option for dinner at the castle?

BTW,Tink, your little one would LOVE the Disney Cruise. We were on the 7 day cruise and there were several princesses there. One day my DD and I were walking to lunch and we ran into Belle! She stopped and talked to us, we were SO excited and I can't believe that *I* babbled, "You're my favorite princess!!!!!" For a moment I forgot she wasn't real .

There was a day where the princesses signed autographs all lined up at a table. And then the last night they came out and mingled with us for one last good bye. I took LOTS of Belle pictures (she really is my favorite princess).
