Storybook Princess Breakfast or Cinderella & Friends Breakfast? Help me decide.

[tinaluis]

I'm trying to decide between the Storybook Princess Breakfast and Cinderella & Friends Breakfast and would appreciate any comments anyone has as to why they prefer one over the other. If you've only been to one, but it was a great experience, please post that info as well. Thanks in advance.

I've only been to CRT, so I can only share that experience. It was wonderful! We had my DD 2 1/2, and two nieces- 6 and 8. All three LOVED it. We saw Cindy, Snow White, Jasmine, and Sleeping Beauty (Aurora). The food was good- maybe average. But you don't really go for the food do you? I've read others say they felt rushed with the characters- our experience was the opposite! All 4 princesses took a lot of time with my DD and my nieces- especially Cinderella. Cinderella bent down to hug my DD and she literally attacked her. She tried to sit in her lap and missed because of the big gown and ended up sitting on Cinderella's gown. I thought- great- Cinderella is going to have to leave to get herself 'fixed' again! But she handleded it wonderfully! She simply sat in the floor and asked my DD to sit in her lap. She spent at least 5 minutes with my DD alone! Then my DH asked for a picture- wonder why ! Then she spent a while with my nieces. This was the story for the whole breakfast! It was terrific! And this was Thanksgiving morning- a very busy time. I noticed they spent a lot of time with everyone- to my pleasant surprise! I would definitely recommend this breakfast- being in the castle in unbeatable! We will try again this year. BUT, we are going to make res. for PSB as well in cas we don't get CRT- or we may do both!
I have read on these boards that at PSB, the food leaves a little to be desired. Of course, I've read that about CRT as well. Different people will always have different opinions.
Good luck to you and let us know what you decide.

They are both very good if you want to see Princesses. To me, the food is quite similar too.

The only difference for us is the Castle. BUT once you've experienced the Castle, the Storybook is just fine. For me it's just as nice especially if I can get it easier than CRT.

Some have even mentioned they did, indeed, see Cinderella there at Storybook from time to time!!!

We enjoyed them both very much.

Just ate with Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Belle, and Mary Poppins at the castle last week. MARY POPPINS!! That made my day! Anyway, my DD's, 7 and 9, were blown away by the treatment at the castle. I won't give any of the fun away, but it is so ROYAL. I felt the princesses spent more time with us than Pooh and friends at CP. They wore their Guest of Honor badges and the princesses all called them by name and spent several moments with them chatting about Dallas. The Fairy Godmother was downstairs and she spent like 5-8 minutes with my girls with this HUGE line waiting.

Haven't done the other breakfast, but plan on doing this one again if possible in 2005 even though we'll all be a little older!!

Oh yeah! My girls felt they were too "mature", but the younger kids in their princess dresses sure looked like they were having fun!

I second Beattyfamily's comments. The castle is the castle and that says it all. Now, sicne those ressies are very difficult, minus that rush, once inside, it feels pretty equal. My girls loved being able to walk through the WS with no one in it! It was a thril of it's own.

Either way, you can't go wrong.

Enjoy,
Sandy

Just did both 4-28 & 5-1 our little princess was thrilled with both. Personally I liked the food in Norway better can you say cinnamon rolls. The characters in Norway spent more time with us too. That said if your child loves Cindy or has not been to the castle it is a must do experience. Both castles had Aurora, Snow white and Belle but Norway had Mulan and Jasmine. I would do Norway again before doing castle but we have done that several times. Next to try Cindy's dinner in August!!

If you are able to get a ps for CRT, I would take it! We had a wonderful time at their breakfast, plus its eating in THE Castle!! The castle alone is a big draw in my opinion especially if this is a first princess breakfast. Also Cinderella does not appear excpet for an irregular occurance at PSB, so if you have a dedicated Cindy fan I would really go for CRT. B/c of Cindy and the castle was why we choose to do CRT and we were treated very royally! My DD cheriches the picture she has of her and Cinderella and she can't wait to have breakfast with her again!!
