Cool. I did subscribe to touringplans. I haven't checked it out much yet but I'm looking forward to it. SO MUCH INFO!

Which brings me to my next question.. How much notice do they give as far as park hours and/or EMH?

Check out Aaron's TR. He took his family to the castle for the princess experience. It appears that he felt the experience for his kids was worth it, but the food sucked and they were hungry afterwards.

Will do- this is exactly what I was afraid of.

Makes perfect sense!

 I wouldn't do it just to walk down Main Street before opening. 

:thumbsup2:

For boys I wouldn't do CRT...

Thanks! Do you have boys?

Have you thought about the Crystal Palace?  The buffet breakfast is very good, and with early ADRs you will get onto Main Street as quickly as those with ADRs for CRT.  We did that a couple of trips ago and I got some awesome pictures.

I have actually thought about it!  I can't remember why I took it off my list. I have have to revisit that. Hmm...

THANKS EVERYONE!!

Tusker is the best food of all 3, and you have to eat fast to get back out in time for rope drop under the castle (I think they still actually have a rope there). It's a lot of $ to get the experience of being in before anyone else.

You mean to get to Castle rope drop after eating at Tusker?  I was thinking the 8AM Tusker breakfast would let you out into a still uncrowded AK too..

I've been hearing how amazing it is to get that 8AM reservation at Royal Table.  You know, the ambiance of walking on Main St while it's relatively empty, then coming out of breakfast to a still relatively empty MK..  

But I'd kind of rather have breakfast at Tusker (Which I've also been told is a nice, relativity empty "after breakfast" experience) or Ohana.  It's cheaper, and I've heard good things about both of them.  Is that 8AM Royal table experience worth the extra money & hype?

My boys are 9 & 12, and we only have 5 park days.

Thoughts?
