With CRT, you're paying for the "ambiance," not the food, and you'll find that the quality is no better (and in some cases worse) than what you'd find at, say, Crystal Palace. (And as @jpittore1 mentioned, at CRT, "all you care to enjoy" has now changed to "the one small portion about which you care to discover yourself decidedly unenthused"). They absolutely, positively WILL NOT still honor a request for additional portions under the old "all you care to enjoy" policy! If you're really unsatisified with your meal, the best thing you could hope for is that if you explain very nicely that the dish is not what you expected, you might get a chance to order something else, but they will not give you second helpings of anything. You will also notice that while the price point is one you'd expect for upscale food, the actual menu is more akin to what you'll find on the buffet at your local Ponderosa -- for dinner, baked chicken or fish or an inexpensive cut of beef, rice and vegetables, and for your kids -- Chicken. Effin'. Nuggets.
The price is further jacked up further by the mandatory "photo package," which is redundant if you already have MemoryMaker or have already met Cinderella at PFTH and taken photos. Unless you are dying to meet some princesses and have no other viable way of working them into your itinerary, or unless dining in the Castle is a lifelong dream for you or one of your traveling companions, then in my opinion by no stretch of the imagination is CRT remotely "worth" the time and money it costs to eat there, for anyone, for any meal, in terms of the quality of tangible product that you receive in return.
In the interest of full disclosure: I've eaten there twice -- once, years ago, for lunch, when it was a far more reasonably-priced meal with no characters whatsoever -- that was awesome and a great value given the special setting. We ate there again 2 months ago, in May (under the current price scale and regime) for the sole reason that my daughter had asked to do it as her birthday present and in lieu of a party, since our visit overlapped with her birthday. After Cinderella, we met Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel, Belle and Snow White. We had "just okay" food (portions were small and no hotter than lukewarm, everyone's meat or fish was overcooked, and the various desserts were presented beautifully but were sicky-sweet to the point of being nearly inedible) but had a lovely time nonetheless due to the festive occasion, attentive service and our irrationally happy "I'm on vacation and I'm not going to sweat the small stuff" attitude, but that doesn't change the fact that for the same money, we could have had TWO really good TS meals elsewhere (including Akershus, if we just HAD to meet us some Princesses)!
