Kevin...I have an offer to make to you. The next time my family is in Disney World I would like you and John to join us at CRT for lunch...and your parents too if they would like.
I have been outraged at Disney for increasing prices, holiday surcharges and making you buy the pictures. This meal is way too expensive....but there is an indescribable quality to this meal when you have a Princess loving little girl. (If you come with us maybe your eloquent style and professional reviewer will be able to capture it.) I cannot justify the price of the meal with the quality of the food....and we are paying in Canadian dollars which usually makes it even more expensive. I swear I will not pay the price to go back, but when you see the magic this experience is through the eyes of a child I cave in every time. I will be on the phone at 6:55 am hitting redial 180 days before our visit. I have the most incredible photo from our December trip that could help me explain...but I don't post photos of my child on the internet. (Not that there is anything wrong with doing that if you so choose. It is just a personal choice.)
We have eaten at CRT the last five years.....and my husband who does not like to part with money very easily just asks what meal we are eating there....and this is an extra meal on top of the dining plan.
As a disclaimer you have met us at both the Dec Podcast meet and on Christmas Eve... I do not have a cistern or any plans to dig one....my DD is pretty well behaved and I do not require any of John's Babysitting in a Locker service.
