2 weeks to Disney, last minute q's

[kmikenchelle]

We are off to Disney in 2 weeks for 6 days. There are a few last minute questions I need your help with.

1)What time is the once upon a dream parade?
2)What time is the character express?
3)As we are arriving by Eurostar and are using Disney Express we were just wondering how we went about booking our breakfast time slots?DH reckons they were half hour slots last time we went, how important is it to book breakfast early, does it get busy? We are staying at the Cheyenne.

Thanks, we can't wait. There is me, DH, DS (8), DD (5)

Hello! Wish my trip was so soon!!

1 - I think the parade is at 4 this time of year.
2 - Character express is a few times a day. You can see the timed on the park schedules found at the entrance to the parks. Or on the official dlrp site.
3 - I've not stayed at the cheyenne. But if its similar to SL the early breakfast slots are the best. As we had no line at 7 but when we walked psat one day at 8 the queue was super long!!

Character express is reguarly something like every half hr or every hr. Yes parade is at 4 this time of yr and candlebration is just after park closes at 7

You should check the official Disney site a couple of days before you go, as at the moment, the OUAD parade is at 5pm, but it does change to 4pm by next month.

Character express is 3 times a day I think, again, this is scheduled on the official Disney site.

At the Cheyenne, it doesn't matter which breakfast slot you are given - you can go earlier anyway and you'll be fine. We usually go for breakfast by 7.30 latest, and the Cheyenne is great then, no queues, and no problem getting a table.

The parade/character express times are in the little park map/handout you will be given when get there, or you can pick one up as you walk through into main street.

Re breakfast - take the earliest slot you are offered (youll do all this at check in) but then go earlier. Scrum potential increases exponentially as the clock ticks!

When I went in August at peak time, we got to the hotel much later than anyone else to sort out checking in/breakfast etc, about 4-5pm if i remember right. But there were still a lot of slots, including the 7.30 slots. Although we ended up booking GMF everyday, we booked it as we got in from the park at 23.45ish each night, and there was always room, and it was a much nicer atmosphere. If doing this, i'd advice 9.15am at the latest.
