Is a CRT dinner a mistake?

[Phonedave]

Here's my take....

If you were invited to dine with the dalai lama at his home, or with the president at the white house (current or past, whichever you would prefer), or, say, George Clooney (sigh) at his home.... you probably wouldn't care if they served you cat food.

If i get invited to the White House and am served cat food, I would be a tad miffed.

If the Dalai Lama served me cat food, I would be suprised - he is for the most part a vegetarian.

George Clooney - I don't think I would even attend the dinner. Maybe for the free flight to CA.

In all seriousness, I agree about going to CRT for the kids. But it is really a cop out for a place to serve sub-standard food just because they have someone in a costume walking around. CRT is not bad food. It's like a Sizzler. But given the price, I would expect a bit better. They could (and should) strive to do better.

phonedave, you crack me up!

Allright, allright, how about Jennifer Aniston?

Actually, I know you're smart enough to get the analogy....
You'd still go, and it would be waaaay cool no matter what you ate, and then you'd have a neat story to tell your friends afterwards. Voila, the 4 year old's experience at CRT.

Actualy, I am a single parent. Jennifer Aniston is single and my age.

Maybe I would eat cat food at her house.

I have eaten dinner in the castle 4 times. Service was hit or miss and didn't enjoy the food any of the 4 times. But, for the young ones it's a thrill and worth it. I would not cancel. Everytime we saw the Fairy Godmother in the Lobby and have actually seen Cinderella twice!! You never know when/who might show up.

Have eaten breakfast couple times and food was good then. :shrug:

We were very pleased with having dinner for my daughter's birthday at CRT. I am aware that the characters aren't around and that is ok. The menu looks great and everyone has already picked out what they plan on ordering...lol. We are having a special cake ordered for the dinner and my daughter will be fully decked out in her princess gear...she will be 4.

Someone today who just returned from a trip last week said that we should change our reservation because it was a horrible disaster. They said it was the worst service they have ever had on property, it was overly crowded and sweaty, and that the food was horrible.

I wouldn't usually let one report get to me but my daughter is so excited and looking forward to this meal and if I should change I want to do it now while I still might have a chance of going somewhere else. Has anyone been recently and experienced something similar for dinner?

Thanks!

Dinner at CRT is not worth it. The biggest reason that parents with children book a meal in the castle is for the princess characters (Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, etc). These characters will only be available with the breakfast and lunch. The only character at the dinner is the Fairy Godmother. Your daughter will be disappointed that she didn't get to eat with Cinderella and you will be disappointed that you ended up spending a small fortune to have OK food with some old lady with a wand.

I wouldn't change. We've eaten at CRT several times for dinner and breakfast and we have never encountered anything like this. We have always had a memorable and wonderful time!:wave:
