ADR booking when staying off-site?

[yummymummywales]

Hi guys - just hoping for a bit of advice please?!

We are off to our impromptu Disney holiday on the 21st October this year (we went last year and didn't think we could afford to go back but with the help of Tesco vouchers we did!!).

I have 2 daughters (age 6+3) who love the disney princesses and was looking at booking a breakfast in Cinderellas Royal Table during our stay. We are staying offsite so I am guessing that I would need to check every day if there was a reservation available for this at the point of the 180 day mark, as we will not have the 180+10 day that everyone on-site has. Is this right??

Also will that make it impossible to get this meal during the stay? Any other tips or recommended meals would be great?!

Last question - does anyone have a number I can phone or can I do any booking online - guessing it might be easier that way?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for any help!

Hi

How exciting that you are going in October!!

You are correct you can book 180 days out so that does mean checkign everyday Im afraid.

I however had to do the same thing as when my 180 day mark came around I still had the hotel on request even though I was staying in Disney with a Thomas Cook package and couldn't be given my number I still managed to get CRT at the time/day I wanted without jumping on the computer at 11 (I was away with work and so couldn't do it until 6 that evening).

You should therefore be ok and I would just keep trying and get on there as early as possible, I think is 12 now with the change of the clocks that you can book from - Im not 100% sure on the time but Im sure someone else will confirm this.

If you are looking for more princess meals you could give Arkeshaus in Epcot a go they serve B, L & D.

If I were you I would book online so it firstly saves your phone bill and secondly you can go in and choose different times if one is not available.

Good Luck and I hope this has helped

Thanks for that - I didn't realise you could do on-line reservations if you were staying off-site so that helps a lot - I'm guessing its just on the US Disney site then?

Thanks for the tip about the other Princess meal - will definitely give this a shot if we can't get the Cinderella meal!

Many thanks for your help - much appreciated!

Yes - if you go to the Disney UK site first, at the top left of the screen you will see a link to visit the US site. Click on this, then once in the US site, click on restaurants and you should then be able to start making reservations.

Note that it is useful to have set up an account on Disney to allocate your ADRs against.

Useful features of the on-line system are the ability to search for availability of a particular restaurant over a 5 day period, or if there is no availability for a restaurant on a particular day, the system wil suggest available alternatives for you.

Good luck with your reservations.

we preferred akershus to CRT. Not as rushed and cheaper.

Agree with the previous poster, Princess storybook breakfast in epcot is an alternative to CRT
