This is very helpful... you should continue with each park and the dining options at each.
Of these we've been to Tony's and the Crystal Palace... loved both. Loved changing it up from burgers & nuggets to italian. Kobe loves Mahi Mahi now thanks to the Crystal Palace!
After we've made our dining decisions you can continue to be our WDW guide by doing a post each on each park and your 'must do' attractions. :) How's that for being demanding?!
Thanks again for the help.
SO would you say that Cinderella's is a must skip?
I haven't personally been to Cinderella's Royal Table, but from what I've heard and experienced, there are other choices for "Princess" meals that include more interaction with characters, better food, less chaos, and that cost less money. The Princess Storybook meals at Norway's Akershus restaurant and the Princess meals at 1900 Park Fare (Grand Floridian) come to mind.
Nikki - you and Holly think a LOT alike! She asked for the same thing...
I have been to Cinderella's castle and I don't think I would do it again. We ate there for lunch. This was probably 4 years ago and the food was a little to fancy for me. And they tried to make the kids meals a little fancier than chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and burgers. So kids were not impressed with the food which is a shame since we paid lots and lots of money for it.
We tried the princess dinning in Norway last year and now I know why they have the princess dinning there because no one would eat there if it wern't for those princesses. The food was too wierd for my taste and I wouldn't pay that much for food I didn't really care for. Also, my son who was 10 at the time so considered an adult chose a meal from the kids menu (which was normal kid food if I remember right) and we still had to pay the adult price for him :( I wouldn't go there again either.
Our family did like the food at the Crystal Palace. I only wish they were more into Pooh characters. Oh well I still took lots of pictures with those characters anyway.
We haven't tried the disney meal plan, because we don't stay on Disney property (I think you can only purchase them if you are staying on disney property although they just started offering the plan to pass holders so maybe next time we get a year pass we will look more into it). We have to rent a house because of our large family.
Gretta - Thanks for the great comments!
The Norway food is a little different, although I think they've "Americanized" it somewhat.
I love that you gave your opinions too. I think I'll be doing some more dining posts in the future, so keep it up!
