Who's at these character meals?

[Picabo]

I can't seem to find a straight answer anywere - can anyone share who's at these meals:

CRT - breakfast/lunch/dinner
Chef Mickey - bkfst vs dinner (Is Minnie there for bkfst or only dinner??)
Tusker House - breakfast
1900 Park Fair - breakfast/dinner

My girls LOVE princesses! (Mostly Snow White, Aurora and Cinderella) I was planning to do both Akerhaus (bkfst) and 1900 Park Fair (dinner) but then realized now that Akerhaus is SOOO expensive that maybe we're better off just doing CRT instead??? DO you get to see as many princesses that way? But DD also recently has been loving Alice in Wonderland so I'm thinking maybe keep Akerhaus and then do 1900 PF for bkfst. I just can't get over how much Akerhaus prices seemed to go up! Yuck!

Oh and they are also Minnie fans so that's why I need to find out about Tusker House and Chef Mickey. Is one better than the other?

1900 park fare - bfast- mary poppins and friends dinner- cinderella and fam
Tusker house- believe this is mickey, donald, chip and dale
Chef mickey- mickey, minnie, donald, goofy think it is the same all meals
Not to sure on crt but think cinderella is at the door with fgm at lunch and dinner and other princesses at bfast

At Akershus, there will be 5 princesses at any of the 3 meals. No guarantee which princesses, but I think Aurora and Snow White are pretty common there.

At CRT breakfast and lunch, you can also see 5 princesses (Cinderella will be one of them). I think Aurora and Snow White are also pretty common there too. Dinner at CRT is only Cinderella for a picture and then a short show with Fairy Godmother (no other princesses).

1900 breakfast doesn't have any princesses - I think it's Alice, Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins and Pooh.

1900 dinner has Cinderella, Prince Charming and the step sisters.


If you're looking for Aurora, Cinderella, and Snow White - you could do Akershus and 1900 for Dinner. (Although you may see all three at CRT breakfast.)

So Aurora and Snow White and Cinderella are ALL at CRT bkfst? Do you get much face-time with them?

As far as princesses go, I've ate at both Akershus and CRT. The lunch was soooooo good at CRT; I had the major domo...mmmmmm. We saw Cinderella (in lobby, for the photo), and upstairs we saw Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Belle (in her white and blue dress), and Jasmine.
We did the breakfast at Akershus and thought it was ok. Some foods were brought to your table (the hot foods - eggs, potatos, sausage) and the rest was buffet style. We saw Belle (for the photo, in yellow gown), Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Jasmine and Mulan.

We've also done the breakfast at 1900 Park Faire. We really enjoyed this one. Mary Poppins was in the lobby, and inside we had Alice, the Mad Hatter, Tigger and Pooh. The Mad Hatter was so funny. We got there right at 8am, for the first sitting and had most of the characters come around twice.

I think your girls will be happy at any of these; have fun!!!

We had breakfast at Askerhus on a Saturday morning in February, and hit the motherload of princesses. My dd8 was thrilled; Belle was in the front area for the formal pictures (they're included with the cost of your meal there). The other four circulating in the dining rooms were Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine and Snow White. She had a lot of time with each one, and it felt very relaxed (not rushed or chaotic at all).

I saw a posting somewhere when I was preparing for our trip (or maybe it was in the Unofficial Guidebook) that compared the different character meals and the ratio of characters to guests. Askerhus breakfast was approximately 25 guests per one character, while a place like Chef Mickeys was something like 100+ guests per one character. The great guest-to-character ratio, plus the feedback I read here about Askerhus convinced me it was worth the $$$$ (and I'm pretty frugal...lol).

Enjoy whatever choice you make!

We ate at each of these during our trip 2 weeks ago.

CRT breakfast: Cinderella is downstairs where you check in and get your photo package taken. In the dining room we met Jasmine, Snow White, Aurora, and Belle (in the blue dress)

Chef Mickey - bkfst/dinner -we saw the same characters at both breakfast and dinnner: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto

Tusker House - breakfast - we really liked this one - Donald, Daisy, and Goofy

1900 Park Fair - dinner - Cinderalla, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella

We had really good character intereraction at all of these. However, my DD's favorite character meal was Akershus since we got to see Belle in her yellow gown and meet Ariel.
