be our guest breakfast/crystal palace lunch?

[lookame]

My parents decided to join us for our trip but since they just now decided I'm scrambling to make reservations for a party of 6 at the places which are "must do." The current list we have (which is only the four of us without my parents) are
Magic Kingdom day 1
Crystal Palace at 8:25 am

Magic Kingdom day 2
Be our Guest breakfast at 9:20 am (w/my parents)
Be our Guest dinner at 7:10 pm.

Ideally we want our first day to be early, before the park opens to try to see the park without a bunch of people (maybe get a pic in front of the castle with only a few people in the backround) but I feel this is probably not going to happen since the rope drop show has been moved to inside the park.

So with that being said I can move our Be our Guest breakfast to Magic Kingdom day 1 for all 6 of us at 8:40 am and move crystal palce to magic kingdom day 2 for lunch. would this be a better plan? or don't do crystal palace at all?

You are correct that empty castle pictures are a thing of the past. Move your ADRs around so all of you can have memories together.

With the 8:40 a.m. BoG, you may be let into MK before 8:00 if you are there before 8:00. You might get a more relatively empty castle picture on that day if you can arrive before 8:00.

Thanks...I was able to get an 8:25 am at BOG so I moved Crystal Palace to 11:30 am lunch. If I can get BOG for dinner for all of us then I'll drop Crystal Palace and use the table serve credit before my parents arrive. Two table serve meals a day seems lke we'll be eating all day and not doing much else. (unless it was an early breakfast and a dinner...)

Good. Less than three hours between finishing breakfast and startin lunch doesn't sound reasonable.

Technically, BOG breakfast is still counter service, not table service. So you could order a cupcake and coffee, or a single meal for two to share if you want to eat lighter.

These are two different days. The day Crystal palace is on has BOG dinner for 4 people bbut not 6 like we want/need.

I didn't think of that. I knew it was quick serve but didn't think it was all a cart and we could do just a cupcake. I heard it was a good use of quick serve credits so I wanted to grab it.

On the flip side I made a reservation for the barber shop for my daughters first hair cut at 10 am the day we have BOG breakfast and as excited as I am about her cut being in Disney I'm wondering if I shot myself in the foot making it for 10 am....
