Will they let me do this???

I have an adr for the Cinderalla Breakfast for the end of August now after hearing all the poor reveiws I was wondering if I could book The Princesss breakfast in Norway for the same time. I don't want to give up my adr for the Castle I am hoping they have 5 months to improve. Then right before we leave cancel one of them. I just can't justify doing both since we have 4 kids and we are already doing Cyrstal Palace and Chef Mickey. This is taking up a lot of our points since my we are also doing CG. I already told 4yo dd that we were eating with the princess I m not sure if she knows about the castle or not. What is the atmophere like at the Norway breakfast?? Also she really like Sleeping Beauty so if she sees her and not Cinderalla I don't think she would care. I am just not sure of the Castle thing
/
so my question is should I book Norway just in case the reveiws don't get better will they think something is up if I book for the same time? if I do it for another day it will really mess up all the other adrs I have.

I think you should choose which of the two meals you prefer, based on what you know now, and stick with that. If you hear other things in the months to come that changes your mind, you can try at that time to switch from one meal to the other, if there is still availability. If not, don't worry about it: You could have a great time either way, as long as you don't predispose yourself to being disappointed.

Have you already paid in full for CRT?
To be honest if it was me ..I would keep CRT and leave Norway. Eating in the castle is worth it I think..and you wont see cindy in Norway..although I hear its good...i have heard good and bad for both places...that wont change before you go. Just think what you prefer. Also what park do you plan on being in that day?
Do you already have it marked as a MK day?

Ahhh..I see you are on the DP so you wont have paid upfront.
If you think it is taking a lot of points why not pay out pocket after the meal and save the points?
We have that many meals booked that I already know we are going to have to POP for at least 1..so I think it will be CRT for us. I don't think its worth using 2 points per person...you could get 2 other meals at about $30 each..a total of $6o for that. So its better to pay the $34 or whatever it is for crt than use your 2 points which are worth $60.

I Have been thinking about this I am not sure which meal to pay oop for since we are aready over ts by one
here are our adrs
chef mickeys
crt
Whispering Canyon
50s prime time
Crystal palace
California Grill my 16 dd really wants to do this
so my thought was to pay oop for prime time for lunch then we would be all set for ts. if we pay oop $176 for crt that that would leave us only one more table service for free. I can't imagine spending that much anywhere else. so for us it makes sense to use the TS for CRT and pay oop for something cheaper.
Does this make sense this whole thing is driving my crazy LOL I will need a vacation after planning this one. any other suggestions. or am I not thinking this through right?

It actually doesn't make sense: If you pay OOP for CRT, that leaves you TWO TS credits to use elsewhere, not ONE. I did the math and for me it ended up being worth it to pay OOP for the signature meal, unless it was over $260 (for our party of 4A 1C 1I).

CRT isn't likely to improve. People are saying it's a bad buy for the price. I don't see the price going down and I don't see Disney changing the meal to add cooked to order menu items like Eggs Benedict.

Bicker is right paying OPP for signature meals frequently makes sense. HDD is around $50 and most 1 TS meals are worth more than $25. If I was paying OPP at a restaurant like CG I would probably share an appetizer and/or dessert. I'd probably at least pay out of pocket for one meal.
