I think for the best bang for the princess buck- it's the one in Norway especially for Sleeping Beauty. WHile never guaranteed she has been there every time we have
CRT is definately magical and dd was in love with meeting Cinderella in her castle and being in the castle. Sleeping Beauty was there but they don't guarantee it, they also don't guarantee it at Norway.
They don't guarantee she will be there so please let her know she may not be. I wish for sure we could know.
There is also a very exspensive tea/luch and the GF where she is but I think it's somethin like $225 for the two of you. If you go on allears.net and go under character you can see where they all are.
Noway's Princess Breakfast! ! ! !
#1 the most delicious cinnamon rolls
#2 a wonderful variety of breakfast foods-buffet style-hot and cold
#3 hard to see princesses (Snow White, Belle, Jasmin, Aurora, Mulan)
#4 make ressies for 8 or so and you get into epcot early....you need to let the cast member at the entrance know you are there for a priority seating reservation and they will check to see if your name is on the list. They will let you in and the park is EMPTY!!! It is our favorite time to take pictures along the way to norway and there is no one to get in the way of your photo!
We opted for the Epcot one in Norway, rather than the castle one, it just seemed to get better reviews and more princesses! I'd love to do the sleeping beauty tea, but doo much $$$ for us this go round. We're going to do BBB instead.

I will be eating in the castle for the first time in a few weeks (lunch), but in the past, we've had lunch withthe princesses at Akershus in Epcot and really enjoyed it. The food is pretty good, and both times we went, Cinderella was there instead of Snow White. We then saw Snow White in Germany at Epcot later, so we got to see them all in a day.
You will get many different opinions on this one- here is mine:
We've eaten at both CRT- 3 times- and Norway once. Both were good to see princesses. Norway princesses were very rushed the day we were there- Jasmine was literally running between tables and barely stopped moving for a picture. Must have been a bad day. While both were good and filled the purpose of dd seeing her favorite princesses- CRT is the only one she asked about eating at this year- she is 8 1/2. That is the very first thing she asked when we told her we were planning a trip- would Cinderella invite her to eat in the castle again. It is just more 'magical' - to eat in Cinderella's castle with her princess friends. DD just loves it. Food is ok at both- some say it is good and others don't- I say it is ok. You don't go for the food though- dh loves the stuffed french toast in the castle.
We have seen Aurora at all the princess meals we've been to- each time in the castle and at Norway. No, she is not guaranteed and I am one that I'd worry that if it is 'THE' princess we want to see- she wouldn't be there the day we went (though we have been very fortunate on princesses in attendance). You could book both- but we didn't b/c dd is older and would definitely notice the difference in the princesses at the two different meals- a few frequently attend both meals- we saw Aurora and Belle at both breakfasts the year we did both.
Good luck on your decision. If it were me and your dd has never eaten in the castle, I'd book that one. It is an experience in itself. Either way, you'll have fun and your dd will be thrilled.
