Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

how can it be booked right at the 90 day mark????

 

[ainmama2001]

I tried exactly 90 days out for our trip at the end of this month. I didn't get breakfast, but I did get a late lunch reservation...1:55pm. No matter, my dd3 will be really pleased either way. Breakfast at the castle AND at EPCOT were BOTH filled.

How are the characters different at lunch?

Well, I called again this morning at exactly 90 days from November 27 (tried yesterday with the 90 +10 with no luck) and got right through with no wait and got exactly what I wanted; 8:05a breakfast!!

So I canceled my November 30 lunch at 1:55p.

I'm so happy and very lucky!

what is the 90+10???? I called yesterday and the girl had no idea. I have to call on the 2nd for Dec 1 and I hope its available

how did you get ressies for Nov 30 if its more than 90 days?? Im so confused

July 18, Disney start a new dining policy; if you are staying onsite, you can book ALL your PS at 90 days of your check in date.

My check in date is November 26 so I was able to book the whole week of my vacation BUT they only release a very few of CRT with this new policy and they then release the majority at the regular 90 day mark so yesterday when I called for my whole vacation, I could only get CRT for November 30 lunch which I wasn't crazy about. When I called today at the 90 day mark of November 27, the day I really wanted CRT, I got exactly what I wanted; 8:05a. I then canceled the lunch on November 30.

I hope this helps you understand a little better.

I'm thrilled. I called yesterday at the 90 day mark from our check in (11/26) and they had nothing. Today I called and got in with a minute wait and got 8:20 am for a party of 7!!

See you there! If you see a red head 6 year old with her brown haired 9 year old sister and mother and father, then that's us!!

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday and today! I'll be there at 8:05a!

Send that luck this way now that you're done with it. I called today at my 90 days from checkin, got in within a minute on hold and had them check for 11/29-12/3. No breakfasts available at all but I got 12:40 lunch on 12/3. I'll be calling back on the 90 day mark for the days I want CRT breakfast and will cancel the lunch if I get it (or decide it won't work into our plans, that's our Epcot day).

Sending my great luck you way!! I was very lucky. I had the exact same experience as you though. I got lucky on my 90th day of the day I wanted to eat...no luck with the 90th day of my check in day.

I called starting right at 6:58 and hit redial till the message was that they were open. Then when she said if you are dining...I hit 1 and then 1 again and got right to a person. Good luck!

thanks so much for explaining it! I'm hoping to get lunch for Dec 1st and will try on friday!

I used that link to sychronize my clock. I called a couple of times before 7 am to get familiar with the closed message. I then called at 6:59:30 and got thru.... the message said they had heavy call volume and I had to sit and listen thru that and then there is the message about Victoria and Alberts and then you press #1 and then #1 again and I held for about a minute and got CRT for Breakfast at 8:20 am.

Good Luck...

Do you have someone who can call with you, like dh or someone else?


sending you some pixie dust.....

 

[calie_j]

My TA is calling with me so I've got expert help. My H would help but we live in the country and our cell phones don't get signal at home

Thanks for all the pixie dust, Calie

Thanks to all for the great advice. I did get Cindy reservations for 12/03 for lunch! My niece is thriiled. This post is so helpful!!!!! Thanks again!

 

[paslea_pooh]

I will look out for you, we'll be the family with 4 girls (Ages 17,14,9 and 5) and Dh, myself and my Mom. Can't wait !!!

I feel better after coming here to read that not many others have had luck from their 90 days at check in, but have gotten in at their 90 day mark. I called today (90 day from check in) and nothing not even a lunch for 10 days out! I will be calling tomorrow and every day after that for a breakfast time if need be (tomorrow would actually be the 90 day mark I wanted).

I would love to take DGrD to Cindys, and wonder if it is better to call myself, or better to place in hands of the Concierge Service. Do they have better luck? Going 1st week in January. Never have done any of this, and now I have turned this into a major project. Also, we want to see Cinderellabration. Is it better to see the show, and have a late breakfast or vice versa? Weddings were easier to plan.

I was able to call this morning and get CRT, not for the time and date that we preferred, but we have it! We originally wanted Sat Dec 3, but we were able to get in on Mon Nov 28.

 

[paslea_pooh]

You can always call back 90 days out from Dec 3rd and see if they have anything available. I believe you would have to call Monday

 

[Flanigan]

Thanks paslea, I'll give that a try...

Yeap here it is 3:45am West Coast time and I have already said "Hi CRT, Party of 11, 11/29/05, breakfast, anytime" about 50 times in my head. Isn't it crazy how nervous I feel

ETA @ 4:05am I got it, yeah!!! Now I am going back to bed!
