Breakfast with Cinderella

[shellbell]

Hiya

We would like to book to have breakfast with cinderella. We know that we have to do it 90 days before hand which will be Monday.

Whats the best time to ring and book?
Does it get full up quickly?
Is there a limit on how many places you can book? (we need 5 places 4 adults and 1 child)
It says payment must be credit card, can you use a debit card?
Is it worth the money, do you get to meet her?


DD is so excited i wish i hadn't mentioned it till we got it booked.

Thanks michelle

To book the elusive "Cinderellas Royal Table" breakfast at the castle, you have to be well prepared!!

You need to call the WDW-DINE number (sorry, I dont have it to hand) at EXACTLY 12:00pm NOON our time. In fact you need to start calling a few minutes before hand. The trick is, when you hear the "Thank you for calling Disney Dining! All our offices are now closed" hang up and press redial immediately!! Keep doing this until the message changes. Sometimes you will have to press an option (usually 1) or you can be connected to an operator or put on hold. If you are connected straight away, you then need to clearly and consicely ask for your reservation. Do not enter into any small talk at this stage!! You need your script ready:

"Priority seating required for Cinderellas Royal table breakfast (whatever the date is you want), party of 5, anytime"

Do not specify a time at this stage, you can alter it once you are confirmed with a booking!! If you have been lucky the CM will ask how many adults and kids and give you a time slot. Agree to it. If the time doesnt suit, ask for alternatives once you have been confirmed!! You will need a credit card (debit cards wont work in the US yet, except in ATMs).

Sounds like too much trouble?? Your other alternative is the Princess breakfast at Norway in Epcot. Cinderella is nearly always present (though Disney will never guarantee any character and that includes Cinderellas Royal table). You still need to book the Epcot breakfast, but it doesnt tend to need the military planning of the other one!!

Good luck! Ive never had a problem getting a PS for Cinderellas using the above method. Its worth a go!

Is it worth it? The little ones love it! They get to meet most of the Princesses including Cinders, Snow White, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Mary Poppins (never QUITE understood that one!) and sometimes Jasmine, Mulan or Prince Charming. Also Fairy Godmother is in the lobby of the castle for photos as well.

I too have promised my daughter we'd be having breakfast with Cinderella in her castle!! That was before I found these boards and found out how tricky it is to book!

Ive got a month before I try and get through to book and I'd love to know how you got on and any tips!!

Good luck on Monday!!!

Cinderella is NEVER present at PSB as she is already busy in the Castle.

The other alternative and easier to PS for her is Cinderella's Gala Buffet dinner at 1900PF at the GF.

Thats odd. Two friends of mine have both done the Epcot PSB and both had Cinderella. That was when it first opened though, so maybe its changed??

Good luck for Monday Shellbell!!

This LINK states Cinderella does not appear at PSB.

When we went in 2002 - they Princess's were Aurora, Snow White, Belle, Mary Poppins and Jasmine.

Allie, could you clarify this? Is this just over the phone Debit Cards aren't accepted? (I have used my Debit card many times in Florida since 1992 and never had a problem.) It is a Visa Debit (rather than Switch or Solo) so I don't know if this makes a difference.

Shellbell, lots of luck getting the elusive CRT reservation! Fingers crossed!

Cheers

What do you mean there is more than one, Ken??! Next you'll be saying there is more then one Mickey Mouse....

 

[allie5]

Karen, I think you maybe OK with a Visa debit. Im thinking of Switch and Solo which were not accepted (except in ATMs with the Cirrus or Maestro logo) on our trip last year. I tried a few times and both were rejected. My bank (Nat West) said that the debit cards with Cirrus and Maestro on SHOULD be OK for Worldwide use "Soon", but thats as helpful as they could be!

Maybe someone has been more recently and can give us more information??? It would be handy to pay without using the credit card or carrying cash.

 

[Miffy2003]

I wondered if it was because of the Visa thing. Thanks for clarifying Allie.

Shellbell - sorry to hijack your thread! I will have my fingers crossed for you tomorrow at 12.

 

[shellbell]

I have a got a visa debit card but we both have CCs so it really a problem either way

Do the other princesses turn up to the breakfast at cinderellas castle

Thanks for all your help
