What's amazing is upcharge events don't HAVE to suck. They could expend just a tiny turd of creativity and come up with interesting stuff to do as upcharge events - things people actually want.

Since breakfast at CRT is something like $70 a head now, I can only imagine what this thing will cost.

What's next? Requiring a separate ticket for every ride? Disney would never do that ;)

I took my daughters there (one a teenager and one in her mid 20s at the time) because I thought it'd be cool to eat inside the castle. We had dinner.

That was one of the most underwhelming things I've done at WDW.

The Cinderella M&G was OK. It's not our thing but it was OK. The theming in that secion was good. Up the stairs we went to the main banquet hall. It felt like a cafeteria with a few banners hung from the walls and the Fairy Godmother wandering about. With a company like Disney who's genius at theming stuff, I couldn't believe how poorly it was done in there especially for a crown-jewel type meal of CRT in the castle. It could have been sooo cool. So the food comes. Remember, this is a pricey meal, the food is mediocre at best. It's cafeteria food. Think "Luby's". That's what you're paying for.

It may have changed since then but I was really disappointed in it. It looks way cooler out in the courtyard looking up into the glass windows than it does inside.

It depends if it has face characters or not.
The reason CRT costs so much vs something like Crystal Palace is the face characters. They're both insanely overpriced- but those princess cost $, whereas anyone can be tigger.
The info I got from a Chef at a WDW resort (a signature one) is that each restaurant gets a budget- and in most, the food is the bulk of the expenses. For face meals like CRT- the food budget is way less because of said characters.

That all said, it could be $200 and it wouldn't surprise me- not much does anymore with this crew.

Actually, and Im sure @drew81 will back me up on this, Crystal Palace costs more on the entertainment side than CRT to run. CRT gets a premium due to the location.

The main issue, for me, is that these overpriced events are affecting the normal park hours. Its one thing if the After Hours only started after park closed (it doesnt, meaning regular park nights will be much more packed) and we didnt see park hours and EMH being decreased to make way for it (its been proven they have).

With this new thing...yes we're still speculating. But speculation is based on the recent wdw mindset, and latest news released. Sadly, none of that has been decent (RoL news isnt fully out yet so it doesnt count, for me). So while there is always the chance that this event is free or, say, $30 for breakfast+early park entrance that doesnt affect EMH... based on what has been released recently the chance of that is slim, while the chance of an underwhelming offering with an overblown price that slowly removes a right we used to have is high.

It's not about "disney is an evil corporation!!1!!" but proven facts that disney has been offering the same or less for much more.

I cannot agree more. We had breakfast at CRT in November and it was our least favorite meal of the trip. We left feeing like we wasted 2 TS credits. In all of our years going to wdw and many restaurants, this was the most rushed meal I've ever had in WDW! For the price they charge and 2 credits on the DDP, I expected more than that. We each had the traditional breakfast, portions were so small, and apparently you can ask for more food - we weren't even given the chance to ask for more before the check hit the table and our server told us to have a nice day. The princesses were rushed. We won't go back again.. totally not worth it. We go to Akershus for breakfast.. it is a bit cheaper, and a great value on the DDP being only 1 TS credit. We actually can enjoy the meal, love the buffet options and they bring you plenty of hot foods to the table. The princesses are also great there. We will stick to that from now on. It was like night and day, and we still enjoyed the atmosphere, not being in the castle.

Kennythepirate is saying this will cost $69 for an adult, and includes continental breakfast at Pinnochio's + 3 rides+ prepark entrance. Im still new so I don't know how trusty he is.

If true that's a terrible deal when you consider an 8:00am Crystal Palace breakfast gets you more food and characters for $25 per adult. No, you don't get any rides, but you already have 3 FP+ guaranteed to you anyway as a day guest.

If one of those 3 is 7DMT you can bet it will sell out.

I wonder how this will effect BOG Breakfast. I read on another board that guests with early ARDs there got to ride 7DMT early. So I made one for out August trip hoping to save on needing the FP. I wonder if they are going to shut that hidden perk down now?
