Which Is Better?

[xoxILoveDisneyxox]

Which breakfast do you think is better, Cinderella's Royal Table or the Princess breakfast in Norway at Epcot? I can't decide which one to take my princesses to (4 and 2).

While I haven't been to CRT, I cannot believe it wouldn't be better than the Princess Breakfast in Norway. We didn't enjoy it at all.

We are doing the 1900 Park Fair Dinner with Cinderella, It's cheaper and if you are on the dining plan it is only 1 credit vs. 2 for CRT. Also, I've heard horrible things about the food at Norway. Just my two cents.

We have eaten at both. You can't beat the atmosphere of CRT and the food is excellent. Norway was nice, not the same atmosphere and the food was good. If you are using the dining plan then I would go to Norway. I don't think I would use 2 TS credits on CRT. I have not tried the 1900 Park Fare but I have thought about it. You might consider paying for CRT and using a table service for Norway. It is really difficult to get into and you must get up real early and call,call,call!!

Thank you all for your help and advice. I still haven't decided where to go but these tips will help.

Just wanted to add that we saw Mary Poppins, Prince Charming, and even Wendy and Alice at CRT. It really changes a lot from day to day.

Also, at Norway, Belle wears her GOLD dress sometimes for breakfast and is at the entrance near the door for a photo op. SHe doesn't walk around when she is the greeter.

Ariel is usually the greeter for lunch/dinner at the entrance also for a photo ops. If she isn't there, then it's Belle in her GOLD dress. It's hit or miss as the schedule changes daily but it's suppose to be Belle for breakfast and Ariel for lunch and dinner.

Also, Cinderella DOES make appearances at Norway for lunch and dinner. We also have see Mulan and Alice at this meal.

We've eaten at both many times, twice last year in Oct and Dec so let me know if you have any questions.

Now that they made changes to CRT, I'll never eat there again. The only plus it had over Norway, IMHO, was the atmosphere but it's not worth the price increase and paying in full or 2 TS credits.

By the way the cinnamon rolls at Norway are delicious!

I'm chiming in here and I can't really answer your question as I haven't ever eaten in Norway - Princess Breakfast or otherwise.

That said, we loved to eat in the Castle for B,L,orD. We've had good food and good service and have always enjoyed the characters.

With the new changes at the Castle, we will have to wait and see. I don't like the idea of having to pay for a picture in the meal price, but, the jury is still out on whether it will be worth it for others. I know I wouldn't use 2 meal credits on it.

If I had never been to the Castle, and had 2 little girls, I would probably do it at least once - the Castle will always be a special place and until you actually go, will hold some mysterious attraction. I think I would value a 'dining in the Castle' memory, more then a 'Princess in Norway' memory. JMHO.

We had breakfast in Norway and lunch at the castle and I thought they were about equal in food quality and Princess interaction. However, my 7yo recommends the Castle - she said it was "more special".

I haven't eaten at either yet so I can't attest to food quality but we are going to Disney for our first ever visit in May and I made ADRs for CRT a few weeks ago and got my first choice of day AND time--no problem I don't think alot of people know that you can now make ADRs for CRT 180 days in advance.
