bbb before crt

[ForeverAlice]

I was wondering... Now that DD is old enough for BBB what is the earliest you would make a res at CRT for breakfast after BBB- I was thinking 40 min after appt time? I have bought her dress already and she will only be getting her hair done. Thank you for the advice.

In my (one time, so far) experience, that would not be enough time. They are right across the hallway from each other, but we had to wait a bit after check in (I guess for a changing room), and then a few minutes more for the stylist. The actual makeover didn't take that long, though. You don't want to be looking at your watch and stressed the whole time about making your CRT reservation.

Another consideration is whether you want to take advantage of the (free) photoshoot at Castle Couture afterwards. If you have Memory Maker, all of the photos are included on it, but if you don't, you can purchase them individually. It didn't take long for the photoshoot, but we also had to wait there for our turn, too.

I suggest an hour and a half. You may have some extra time afterwards, but you can walk through the castle and look at the beautiful mosaics.

I guess it depends a bit on when the appointment is. If it's the very first BBB of the day, *maybe* you could do it. But if you're talking about a 9:15 a.m. BBB and 9:55 breakfast, I think you'd be cutting it too close. I'd give yourself AT LEAST an hour, in case they were running behind or you have a slow FGiT. The last time we were there, one DD was finished in 20 min, the other took more than 40 min (same package, but different hair styles).

We used to try for the 8:05 BBB appt, so we got into the park early (just make sure it's not an EMH morning!). That still gave us time afterward for photos in front of the castle while the park was still empty. Then we would do a few rides at ropedrop, and go back for breakfast around 10.

scheduled an hour between BBB and CRT. (Alas, we are done with that.) But we usually did lunch at CRT.

The hour gave us plenty of time to get the makeover done and we had some time to some pictures (caroussel, fountain, etc) before we ate.

Have you considered lunch instead? What's the hurry? Do BBB, enjoy the first couple hours of low crowd park time, take some photos, then have an early lunch. It makes for a nice relaxed morning.
