BBB/Character Meal

[FirstVisitEver]

For those of you have done the BBB with your little girl(s), did you go to a princess character dinner (or breakfast/lunch) right afterward? I'm just trying to figure out how I could make back to back reservations.

Last year we did an early BBB and later that day had dinner at Akershus (princess storybook dining). Worked out great.

This year we are doing CRT for a late breakfast (I already have an ADR) so now I'm waiting until my 90 day mark to make our BBB reservation. I am going to try for the earliest time I can get so we don't have to keep looking at our watches.

You'll just want to be aware that the later your BBB appointment is, the more of a chance that they will be running behind. Also if you are doing Akershus or 1900 you will need to factor in travel time too.

If you are doing BBB at DTD and not in the castle, you will need to factor in travel time no matter what.

We're doing BBB first thing in the morning, and then CRT for lunch. We have an 8AM ADR at the Castle BBB, so I figure they can get their hair done and we can still make rope drop (or close enough anyway!) since they shouldn't be backed up at that time of day. We can take advantage of the early morning crowds, and then take a nice break for lunch.

The first time we did BBB around 2 and had dinner at Akershus around 6 and had no problems. This past time, we did BBB at MK at 10:00 and had lunch at CRT at 12:00 and no problems there either.

I have a BBB appointment at 8:10 am so we can be in the MK while it's empty. And then CRT at 12:10 for lunch. We want to make rope drop that day.

We went to the MVMCP the night of my DD's BBB appt. We used the DTD location.

Its our plan this time to do BBB around 1:30pm for dinner at Akershus about 6pm. Last time we did 10:20am for a CRT at 12:20. And it wasn't enough time. We did the Castle package though which included the photos and we wanted to have the photos taken before dd3 had food spilled all over her. By the time we got out of BBB, walked to Exposition Hall, lined up to have photos taken, we were an hour late for a CRT ADR. We were lucky that a CM in exposition hall rang CRT to say we were stuck waiting for photos. My DH, Dad, brother and nephew all sat and waited all that time out the front of CRT.

We are going in April....I made a ressie at BBB for DD4 around 3:30pm and we wre eating at the GF 1900 Park Faire Cinderella dinner for 7:35pm.
When I took DD to BBB last year around 7 pm we had to wait like a 1/2 hour before she even got seated for her princess makeover and it
took like 2 and 1/2 hours for the whole ordeal....so I wanted to give myself plently of time.....Have fun!!!

We did BBB at 1:00pm and then had dinner at CRT at 5:00pm. Timing was perfect except my daughter fell asleep at the table after we ordered. Our waiter was amazing and didn't charge us any dinner credits for her.

hear the timing from some of you that have done this. Our daughter will be doing this for the first time this coming June. I'm trying to convince my wife that an 8:00 AM appointment would be a good idea. We are already trying to do the earliest time we can get for CRT lunch.

One question, were there a lot of Photopass pictures taken during the visit?

We have BBB booked for 8.30am and CRT lunch booked for 2.30pm because I would like to take DD to Exposition Hall for photos before we have lunch.

We should also be in the park before opening, so hopefully we'll get some "almost-empty MK" photos before we go into BBB.
