Storybook Princess Breakfast?

[scanne]

Can all of you who have dined here please share your experiences? How does this breakfast compare to Cindy's? We've done Cindy's 3 times and I don't want to pay what they're charging now. Sheesh - it's pretty steep!

My DD will be 2 when we go in July and I'm thinking of maybe taking her, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the food, character interaction, were you rushed, what Princesses did you see, etc.

Thanks!

I would like to know as well since I have this one booked and we have never been.

It was a great experience! We are going for lunch this year.

We saw Mulan, Snow White, Belle (blue dress), Jasmine

It was a large amount of food and great service.

We are going for lunch this year so we can see Ariel. They say she is there for a "professional picture". My DD5 loves Ariel.

What is the age range for this? Do you think my dd8 (almost 9) would fit in?

We took our three daughters to this breakfast last March. Our oldest daughter was 9 and fit right in. The breakfast was fine, but we were really there for the princesses and our girls loved seeing the princesses: Jasmine, Belle, Snow White, Mulan, and Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty was a disappointment as she was obviously not wanting to be there. We were so sad about this as our youngest couldn't wait to see her, and then when she showed up at our table in such a twit, my daughter's face just fell. Those ladies should realize the impact they make before they take on the job. The restaurant isn't as pretty as Cinderella's Royal Table, but is still very quaint. We would do it again. One tip: guest services will give you a ride to the restaurant from the entrance if you ask when you arrive. It sure saves a long walk if you are pressed for time!

We've been to both.

Our DD5 loved the Minnie Mouse buffet at the Hollywood & Vine in 2002 when I couldn't get CRT.
She loved Minnie! And we dressed her in a Minnie dress to match! Awesome pictures!

In 2003 I finally got CRT. Now our DD was a DD6 and there is quite a bit of "magic" when you get into the castle. Sort of holy grail kind of territory. We felt special getting into CRT, knowing how hard it was to get. DD6 loved it.

Having already been to CRT, we booked the Storybook breakfast in 2005 for our now DD8. The food was the same as CRT, scrambled eggs and link sausage. Norway is a beautiful area and the eating area is gorgeous.

Here's the thing though and I don't mean to lecture...but....

It's Disney!!!! All of these breakfasts are absolutely fantastic! You just can't go wrong! There is no "bad" breakfast! You'll love it!

We did princess breakfast last Oct. Haven't done breakfast at the castle. But we loved the Norway breakfast. The food was really good (and a lot of it). Our dd was 3 at the time. The princesses were wonderful and spent a lot of time with her. They posed for many pictures, danced with her and talked with her; they did not rush at all. We will do this one again.

We also did this breakfast in early October 2005 with our two daughters, age 20 months & 4. They both loved meeting all of the princesses. They were all very nice and spent a good deal of time talking, signing autographs, and posing for pictures. You meet Sleeping Beauty right when you go in (before being seated) and the other four princesses (Mulan, Jasmine, Belle and Snow White) stop by your table while you are eating. My DD4 was dressed up as Belle (the only one in the room) and Belle spent extra time with her (obviously knowing that she is my daughter's favorite). Although the kids didn't eat much (other than the cinnamon rolls), it was the highlight of our trip.

We loved it. We went Christmas 2004. We weren't rushed at all, though there were times princesses would sort of pile up at our table. Most came around several times to us. All took time with our kids. Our little one was very reluctant, and I have the cutest picture of Snow White trying to draw him out by playing peekaboo. I wanted to post it, but I guess my connection is too slow to upload it, as it seems to be getting stuck.

We have an ADR for Saturday 1/28 and I will be happy to give you a review. It will be DW, DS(9), DDS(twins 6) and me.

We went when my DD was 9 and my neice 10, they had a great time. There was no rushed feeling at all, we had plenty of time to enjoy our breakfast while the princesses came to the table individually to sign autographs and pose for photos. They were all very gracious and friendly. Princesses were Mulan, Jasmine, Aurora, Belle, and Snow White.
