We have our Christmas dinner ADR for there! And they made me out my Credit Card to hold it. Now I am re-thinking it.
Any suggestions. I have DD9 and DC5 along with 2 seniors. Any suggestions?? They HATE buffets!

Liberty Tree Tavern is a great place- for dinner it is a character meal, and traditional Thanksgiving meal is served. You might enjoy it there. I tried it for the first time ever last year and was really happy with it. Ressies might behard to come by for Christmas though!

Can anybody speak for or describe the character/princess interaction at the Castle for breakfast?

Hi all. I am fairly new to Disboards, and it looks like a fun place to exchange ideas and stories. I am 32 years old and now have 2 kids of my own. I live in NY and have been to Disney World 25+ times. Usually we go down for about 8 days every year and stay at thh Polynesian. One of our favorite dinner spots was Cinderella Castle. The atmosphere and food was always great. Great Prime Rib and well worth the money. Well, things have definitley changed. They now have a pre-set menu to choose from and the food and service was terrible. Definitley not worth the money they charge. Apparently this change was made a few months ago. I'm not sure with the influx of dining plans, that maybe the food has suffered. All of our meals (4 adults and 2 kids) were terrible. The steaks were thin and fatty and the waiter was unpleasant. Even the kids meals were terrible -a small plate of noodles with nothing on them. Big disappointment at a place that used to serve one of the best meals in the parks. I definitely will not return to the castle for dinner.

My family really enjoyed a meal there a few years ago......it really surprised us! But I've been reading these horrible reviews on the boards recently and I'm so upset they changed the quality

We ate lunch there in February and really enjoyed it. No, Cinderella doesn't interact with you while you eat but lots of other princeses did. The food, I thought was good. My DH thought it was great. Eating in the castle is a fun experience. So much, I'm doing it again next month.

Just posted my review. We ate there last weekend for the first time. Although I can't compare with previous visits, it did seem expensive for the 'banquet' type food we got.

True, you don't see it spelled 'correctly' very often. But now do you SAY it correctly also? Mine is pronounced like it rhymes with Cherry. NOT like Shari Lewis. That drives me nuts.

The food was AWESOME in our experince this week! We had Keir for a waitress and she is FANTASTIC!!! We had her one other time too. The view was AMAZING!!!! If you're an adult celebrating a special occasion, I'd recommend it.

But don't do it for character interaction....not good at all. That is where I'd pic somewhere different.
