BBB and CRT timing

[LGS33]

I'd like to schedule my DD's BBB appointment before our 12:00 lunch at CRT. Any ideas what time we should schedule the appointment for? I can't remember the name of the package we're getting her, but it's the one that includes everything and I don't know how long it will take. We're going in June, so I know it will be crowded and also don't know if we should expect BBB to be running behind schedule.
Thanks!

We had a 1:10 lunch reservation atCRT and I got DD's BBB appointment for 8:05am. She was the 1st appointment of the day.

It was before the park opened so it didn't take away from ride time. Worked out well for us.

Thanks for the info.! I actually want to schedule the BBB appt. (in the castle) so that we can go directly from there to CRT at 12:00. I was thinking 11:00 would be okay, but I'm just not sure about the timing.

I would probably go for a little earlier than 11. The BBB says to allow at least 30 minutes and since you need to be to your CRT ressie 15 min early, that only leaves you 15 minutes for them to run behind, for you to try to get pics before she spills lunch on the dress (at least that might happen w/ my DD's ), etc. I have BBB booked for 8 AM and CRT at 10:15, but I have 2 DDs. For you, I think 90 min before your CRT would probably be OK.

That's cutting it WAY too close and would likely be the source of much frustration. You never know if they will be running on time. You really need to separate the 2 and go as early as possible in the day so you have NOTHING to worry about in the time department.

If they are running on time (a HUGE assumption) it will take at least an hour. Even for our first of the morning appointments it has taken 15 to 20 minutes just to get through the line and get seated!

Thanks for the replies!

I think I'll try for 10 for BBB and 12 for CRT. I didn't want to schedule BBB too early because we are going in June and DD will sweat like crazy in her princess dress if we were to walk around the park while waiting for our CRT reservation.

I definitely don't want to cut it too close either- do you think 10 would be okay for BBB?

Thanks again!

We went in June 09 and did an 8:05 am BBB and 12pm lunch. It is absolutely fabulouse to breeze right into the BBB w/ no waiting, so the early am appt is totally worth it!!DD got the princess 'do and that thing is SOLID -- it can last 3 days, and we swam too, so don't worry about a little sweat!!

It was NOT and EMH morning so we had plenty of time after our appt to take pics around the castle and be ready for ropedrop for Fantasyland. I think it would be no fun to sit through BBB only to wait in line for lunch at CRT, all the while you can hear all the fun to be had in Fantasyland.

No worries about missing the fun in Fantasyland! It is EMH that day, and we planned to be there bright and early at rope drop, hit Fantasyland, then go to BBB and end the first part of our day at CRT.
