Any tips for booking Cinderella's Breakfast?

Does anyone have any tips about booking Cinderella's Breakfast? I know it books extremely fast.

I have the unofficial guide, and I swear, it talks about calibrating your clock at home with the "atomic" clock so you can call at EXACTLY 7 am on 180 days out.

That said, my sister called at 170 days for July, and got one of her 2 choice days for breakfast. So I'm guessing it's possible.

I chose not use 2 meal credits for it. Instead, we're seeing Cinderella and the stepsisters at dinner at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian.

I know it fills up fast, but I don't think it is as bad as it use to be. I tried 7-8 years ago without success, but this most recent time I tried just for kicks at the end of my call at 180 days + 10 and had no problem. I was shocked and said something to the CM and he said with the princess breakfast in Norway it is a bit easier now. I would just recommend calling at 180 days + 10 days if you are staying on site and calling at exactly 7am. I would lead off with that reservation. I also would if your worried practice call and get use to the prompts. You don't have to listen to the whole prompt to activate the prompt. I mean the questions like have you visited 1 or more time since 1990 press 1, if not press 2.

TIny typo: It's at 7 am on the east coast.

I got my reservations for CRT breakfast for my family, especially for me and dd and hubby and ds are doing it for us After I booked, I was reading a few reviews and it kind of got me concerned but I'm learning as a Disney newbie, to not pay attention to too many reviews or I guess I should say, take them with a grain of salt. I love getting differing opinions and I ask for them alot on here and it is great in helping a person out but ultimately, the decision has to be up to us so I try to listen MORE to the GOOD reviews, LOL. I was trying to see which was better-BREAKFAST or LUNCH, but we like our breakfast so I'm glad we got that one and are sticking with it. Just starting the day off in the MK for our 1st day and eating in the castle and seeing Cinderella and other princesses is just priceless. My dd loves Jasmine and and Belle and likes Cinderella too but my fav is CINDERELLA so it will be special for me and dd I wouldn't cancel or change now-no way! We are so looking forward to it I would say, just call and try and keep calling if the dates/times you want aren't available. I hear people cancel or change their times around so you never know when an availability will open up. We haven't done the CRT yet but I'm glad we booked it and we are looking forward to it so KEEP CALLING until you get it. GOODLUCK

Just to make it clear, you can book starting at 180 days. At that time, you can book 10 days of ADR's from the 180 day mark. I want to clear that up because some see the 180+10 and think they can start booking at 190 days for guests staying at the parks and 180 for all other resort guests.

True on all points, the best way to determine when you can start booking your ADR's is calling Disney Dining.

If you are unable to get CRT reservations when you first call, try again when you get to WDW. We went last April, but didn't plan the trip until Feb. At that time, CRT was obviously booked. We were advised to keep calling, and hope someone would cancel. I did this every week.

When we arrived at Disney, we still didn't have a reservation. One morning I called from my room and was able to get breakfast the next morning at CRT-- 8:05 am! That was probably better than I could have done earlier!!

So, my point is, no matter what, don't give up. As others have also said, the Norway meal and Cinderella's Gala Feast are other great alternatives. We actually ended up at all 3 last year! Talk about princess overload-- not for my DD (5 yo), but for me and my DH!!!

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

I was actually able to get ressies for memorial day weekend only 90 days out. I had to call a lot and stalk the disney dining line, but I got them.

Two years ago I was able to get a ressie 90 days out for Lunch. This year I called on the 180 mark at 6am (central time) and got my pick for breakfast for the whole week we will be there. Start with that reservation when you call. Don't "waste" your time on all your other ADRs, you can get those a few minutes later.

Good Luck!!

I called right on 180 days and I could NOT get a table for 5 for breakfast so I had to get 2 tables I'm not happy!

I too had read that Unofficial guide, among others, and was totally paranoid about calling in for my ADRs, specifically for CRT! I took the advice to heart, because I didn't really know any better! I set my alarm clock and was wide awake at 6:45. I waited with the phone and credit card in hand and as soon as the clock said 6:59, I started dialing. I got through pretty quickly, only on hold for a minute at most and then made my ADRs. I started with CRT and requested for a late breakfast time on day 182 since we're staying on site. She gave me 10:15. I have BBB at 8:30 that morning too.

It wasn't all that hard! I have to laugh at myself now for being so stressed about it all worrying that I wouldn't be able to get my ADR. If you want to guarantee a time, just make sure to call at 180. I honestly don't think you even need to call right at 7AM.

I made this call this morning actually, and did NOT get the day I wanted. I am calling at 180 + 10 too. The problem? We're a party of 7 and the tables go so fast. I called at 6:00 a.m. (Central Time) and I had to get 2 tables to split up our party.

I think if you're a party of 4 you have a good chance of getting the day you want. But if you're a big group, call a minute early, press redial and keep trying. Good luck!
