8am CRT ?

[Three cats]

For those who have done the pre park opening breakfast - were you out of the restaurant by 9am?
I am thinking of booking this but would like to hear others experiences.
If it makes a difference, we are just two adults so we don't need pictures with the princesses.

Thanks

When we went with our 8am ADR, we were able to eat and meet and take photos with all princesses and be out before 9. We got out maybe 5 minutes before they opened the park/rides officially to guests. We also got seated at the first table in the princess rotation, which helped! However, if you don't even care about meeting the princesses, I'd say you could easily be out by 9 if you wanted to be.

If your goal is a PPO breakfast, CRT is a fairly expensive one if you aren't interested in the princesses or the castle, though.

Keep in mind that last minute park hour changes can happen, so you are never guaranteed the ADR you are making is a pre park opening ADR.

Expensive indeed!
We usually go for lunch but figured we'd give the breakfast a try.

Oh yeah. Been there, done that! More often that not we've gotten lucky on our MK days.

For pre park opening breakfast I usually prefer Crystal Palace...We ate there last year had an 8AM ADR and were out by 8:45AM and thats with 2 young kids, lol...I was actually pretty proud of myself for making it out of there in 45 minutes with 2 small kids and we saw all the characters and got pics. Anyways I would assume CRT would more than likely be the same

I don't think you'll have a problem - this is the one and only restaurant where we felt rushed because they have such a high turnover. If you want to be out by a certain time, they'll bend over backwards to accommodate you.

We did an 8am CRT last year in June on a 9am opening. We had 2 girls, so had to see all the princesses and we were out of there by 8:50am. We did not even feel rushed. We had plenty of time to eat in between princess visits. We got out and went right to Merida's line (this was our last day and had already done all the other priorities) and were the 1st people in line for her. With just 2 people, I don't think you will have any problem at all!

It's funny...but the one time we did CRT breakfast, they had us out promptly at 8:55am (prior to them opening up the park a bit early to avoid stampedes). Lunch and dinner at CRT usually takes us a solid 90 min, but breakfast...we got our food, had great princess time, and were out promptly. Even Crystal Palace takes longer than it took us for breakfast at CRT. And even though it went fast...we never felt rushed.

I think you'll be done with time to spare even. Our breakfast there wasn't even prepark opening, and we were so rushed through the meal, we weren't even there an hour lol. We did not want to be done that quick, but boy were they quick with everything, even the princesses.

We've been a few times for lunch and never felt rushed - always had great service - except with this one waiter - oh my gosh, you would've thought this guys hair was on fire the way he RUSHED us through everything! It was insane!

Hahaha the way you described him, he might have been our waiter when we were there in November! But it wasn't just him, they were all like that!
