OK, so I know this is slightly weird but I’m really not all that interested in interacting with the princesses at CRT. Is there a discrete way to signal this? I thought I read somewhere they can attach a balloon to your chair which lets them know not to stop at your table.
Why go at all? Well it’s Cindarella Castle! And the food will be OK. I don’t want to do BOG again.
I’m sure at any TS all you need to do is let your server know you don’t want any interaction. Parents do this all the time with little ones who may be scared of characters.
If this doesn’t work, then maybe a shake of the head and a quite “no thanks” to the princess as they approach your table.
Somebody needs to tell Disney about @TheProphetPaul s idea of a Prince meal. What a great special event. We could have all of our favorite Disney “Princes”!
As suggested, just tell your attendant (server). They’ll inform the character chaperone. In the worst case, you can do as you mentioned and just do a a polite nod / wave-off. CRT is my favorite place for breakfast. I really love the food there. They don’t tell you directly, but since it’s a fixed menu you can ask to try multiple entrees. I just always say… It’s so hard to decide I like “A” & “B” and then they bring both!
I genuinely liked CRT breakfast. I was there with my 10-year-old niece to distract the princesses, but yes the dining room is fun and the breakfast was good.
while waiting for my car to be serviced this morning, I actually was thinking how a Prince character meal would be pretty cool.
I imagine it hasn’t been done yet because simply all the princes are usually secondary characters.
(EDIT: Wasn’t the original “CRT” a prince/princess character meal? Did the Princes not test well with the audiences and why they changed up to all Princesses?)
My DW and I got to meet Flynn and Eric (in addition to Rapunzel and Ariel) at breakfast at Trattoria al Forno in BW on our last trip. I have to admit, they were more believable as their characters than the princesses often are.
I think that both the girls and the boys want to meet the STARS of the movies. The princes are usually B-level characters that only show up for a few seconds. Flynn is most likely the exception. My son would give anything to meet Moana or Miguel or any Incredibles and he really likes Jasmine of “the princesses” but I don’t even think he could name a prince!
The facts — which I intend to make very clear to any little girls I come across at WDW — are these.
You can only become a princess by being born as one. Your parents have to be a king and queen, or the first son of a king and queen.
Marrying a prince will not make you a princess.
So unless the little girls are already princesses they can never become one.
As I said, I will be disabusing any young girls I see of any ridiculous fantasy they may have of becoming a princess. You don’t become one, you are born one. End of.
