We plan to spend all of our full days at Disney in the parks.
What would be the best time of day to take dd to the BBB?
I'm wanting to maximize park time by riding rides after RD each day, but also want to let her have as much time as possible looking like a princess, especially on a day we will have a character meal.

Any suggestions on this?

To make the best of getting to the parks at rope drop and hitting attractions before the crowds roll in, make an Appt for about 11:30-12:00. Have her eat something beforehand and plan for an early character dinner for photos where she will look freshest.

The earlier the better is always my motto with BBB. However, out last trip we could only get a 5 o'clock appointment. It still work out well, DD felt every bit the princess that night too. We went to dinner immediately after BBB and took pics with all the characters. DD asked if she could keep her bun so instead of a shower, she took a bubble bath in our Jacuzzi, which made her feel even more like a princess. I swear she never moved off of her pillow that night for fear her hair would fall out. DD was able to wear it throughout the next day too! Of course she nixed the afternoon swim. P.S. While we at BBB we saw 2 different little girls come back to get a quick hair fix, one was in tears since she had just stepped off Space Mountain and her bun was a mess! A Fairy Godmother stepped in and the little princess was good as new in just a few minutes.

If you are early risers, maybe try to get an appointment at MK before the park opens. We have done an 8:00 AM and were done with the makeover and photo shoot in plenty of time before rope drop, plus we were already in Fantasyland when the park opened.

Will they let us in the park before it opens? I didn't even know that was an option. (We are staying at one of the Disney resorts, if that matters.)
Is Cinderella's Royal Table open for lunch as a princess character meal? (Some restaurants only have character meals at certain meal times.). I had originally thought I would plan CRT for that afternoon, but if I can get a BBB appt in MK prior to opening, that would allow more ride time.

Yes, they will let you in around 7:40-7:45. And yes, they have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We prefer breakfast so we do BBB at 8, ride a few things, then do CRT around 10:30ish. But, you can absolutely do a lunch.
