8am Crystal Palace ADR: How tough is it?

[malcontent]

Anyone try to get an 8am ADR at CP?

I'd like to try to get it on the 7th day of our vacation, but I am concerned that I am going to be trumped by those who are going on their 8th, 9th or 10th day and who will be able to call 1 to 3 days earlier than I.

I never had a problem getting it at 180 days out, but I haven't tried yet, with the new 90 days thing.

I got it at 90 days for the 4th day of our vacation without a problem!!

We had an 8:30 breakfast for CRL and it wasn't that bad. The best thing is we got to MK at 8:00 and got into the park I think at 8:10 and we got pictures of us in front of Cinderella Castle with no one in the back ground. That is so nice!!!

We were able to get an 8:05 at 90 days out for the 2nd day of our vacation! Good luck!

I was able to get it at our 90 day mark for our 7th and last morning at 8:15.

I was able to get an 8:05 ADR and it was about 85 days before our trip.

I was able to get mine easily, too...

We did it last trip and loved it so much...the pictures of the empty main street and pictures of ONLY my family in front of the castle are precious.

It was very magical...

Can't wait to do it again!

I got one about 2 weeks before we left. I decided to add it last minute and I'm SO glad I did! Granted it was later (9:25AM), but it was SO good. Even if you can't get one right away, keep checking back. I'm sure that's how I landed my ADR! Good luck!

I am right there with you OP, it will be my +7 day restaurant. I am really hoping for one of the super early seatings. Nothing later than 8:30AM is really all I am hoping for.

The only character b-fast I absolutely want the earliest seating is for Donald's Safari b-fast but I am not worried about that one since I put it at my +10 day.

Good luck to us both

I called at my 90 day mark and got an 8:05 ADR for the second day of our stay.

I was not able to get it for the day I wanted it which was the 2nd day of our trip. They had an 8:50a which I took.

Then I rethought it and tried to get a ressie for the 7th day of our trip. I called very late on the day of my window and while I didn't get an 8:05, I was able to get an 8:20a for a party of 8. I think I'd have definitely scored an 8:05a if I had asked for it originally. I just wasn't thinking.

For those of you who have had 8:05 ADR's are you finished in time for the 9am park opening?

 

[stephie1012]

i got an 8:15 adr about 20days before we left. Got there early enough got in early and was out by 9am, granted we didnt stay to see piglet, kids had enough and they ended up taking break.

 

[rick75]

I called about 40 days prior and I got an 8:05. My ADR was even the Friday of Presidents Day weekend. We finished up just as the park was opening.

 

[araulscd]

I was able to call about 50 days out and got an 8:10 ADR for the exact day I wanted (3rd day of stay). The CM gave me the choice of about 4 days for an early breakfast, so there were plenty of openings, I was very surprised.

 

[H20DogsNDisney]

We had no problem we will be going the first night of our trip! 7:45 p.m. at 90 days

 

[sherabby]

I got an 8:25 am on our 4th day.

 

[texaslady22]

I'm so nervous now!!

I'm wanting to get reservations (early early) for the first day of our trip, so I can only call 90 days in advance (plus I'm staying off-site).

I guess all I can do is pray, wake up early, and call.

You should be ok. CP is a big resturant. If you can't get 8:00, you should be able to get something near it.
