We are going the week of 9/30- 10/7 and we tried to call yesterday (180 days before 9/30) and we were told that they do not release the tables for the entire week for Cindy's Royal Table and the Norway one. So she was very helpful (2nd girl we spoke to) and she told us we would have to call back every day until we got a spot...so, we could call today for 10/1, tomorrow for 10/2 etc.
So we called this morning at 7am and got a 9am reservation!! No problems.
The first lady we talked to told us that they were booked all week...but the second lady told us that because they don't release the tables until exactly 180 days, that the other days of that week were still blocked out and looked like they were full, even though they hadn't been opened to the public yet.
So for anyone going the week of the 9/30-10/7...keep calling every morning at 7am and you'll get a spot!!!
gabbyrosebud said:Hi! I just called Disney dining yesterday with the same question. I have to call and make my adrs this week. She advised me that they can charge the meal to my credit card at the time I make my adr, if I choose not to use the dining plan credits. I want to keep my credits to use at other restaurants. The only problem is, there are too many places I want to try this trip! How do you all keep from going crazy?![]()
Hi BklynGirl! I called on Monday too and make my ADR for 10/1. She asked if I was on the dining plan, I said yes but I wanted to pay this now and save my tbl service credits. She said no problem and charged my credit card the full amount. She also informed me that they could also take my credit card for a guarantee and charge it the day of the breakfast. I'd rather charge it now. One less thing to think about!BklynGirl said:I called on Monday and made reservations for my DH and I for 9/25 for breakfast. When I made the reservation, I told her I was on the Dining Plan and so she did not charge my credit card, although she did take down the number (in case of no show).
After thinking about it, we decided that it would make more sense to pay this meal out of pocket and save the 4 credits. Should I call back and have them charge my card now or can I just let them know when we get there?

princess_disneymom said:Okay I have reserved dinner with Cinderella but have now heard that the characters do not interact much with the kids. Is this true? Is breakfast or lunch a better option? I have been calling daily to see if there has been a cancelation for lunch or breakfast and so far there have not been any.
Can anyone give me some insite on how the dinner works and if I should continue to try to switch for lunch or breakfast.
Oh and I also got a reservation for the Storybook Princess lunch at Epcot.. that one is going to be a surprise for my 5yr old little princess..
you still get to see Cinderella in the lobby for your Photo. I don't know if the other princesses are there but I don't think so.kddlm said:Unless things have changed, I didn't think there were characters at dinner. Breakfast and lunch only has the characters I believe!
SheenaXena21 said:Question... We're going in October, and I'm making our ADR's next week. We're on the DP, but I don't want to use up 2 TS credits. Can I tell CM that I'm on the DP, so they won't actually charge my CC, and just pay OOP? Has anyone done this successfully?
TheLittleRoo said:What is the Princess Storybook lunch? Is that the same thing as lunch at Akershus in Epcot? If not, please dish! We have ADR's for Akershus dinner with princesses, but this sounds interesting too!
Thanks!!
