Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[Kapp]

I had my two sisters also call to get reservations. We tried for 5 days and did not get reservations until the very last day! They both gave up after 15 after but I kept trying. Finally got through, got the reservations and had a GREAT time! Just hang in there and keep trying & checking back!

I posted this on two boards to no avail-does ANYONE have any idea who to make the check out to for Cindy's ressies? I saw it posted on the DIS that you can send checks, so I figured someone out there must've done it before.
Ok, well if I dont hear anything I"ll just pick a time when I can wait on hold for a while and call the reservation office again.

if you call now there shouldn't be too much a wait. they should have told you when you said you would send a check

I guess not many people know about the change from 60 days to 90 for a PS at CRT. In fact, I just found out myself. I just got off the phone and was able to get a PS for 11/2.

It was 7:30 PM here in Washington state when I read that ressie's are being taken 90 days out. I panicked!!! I was all ready to set the alarm and do the 3:55 AM (I am on the west coast) phone calling with fingers crossed. I decided to call RIGHT AWAY!! I asked for 10/28(83 days out) Even though I wasn't sure that was the day I really wanted. She asked what time I wanted. I had CHOISES! 8:10, 8:15, 8:20, she continued on and on. I said 8:10 am.

I have Priority Seatting for CRT!
No muss, No fuss. Thanks to these boards and the heads up.

We have PS for CRT on Wednesday 8/27 at 10:10 am - not the greatest time for our itinerary, but as you all know - you take what you can get! Can any experienced CRT diners out there give me an approximate idea of how long to plan for breakfast? An hour? Longer? Just wondering so I can plan whether or not to stay at the castle afterwards for the Surprise Celebration show or head over to Adventureland and return later for the show. Thanks!

NJFabFour - Our breakfast last year lasted about 40 minutes. There are only a few selections (what you want to drink and the healthy or traditional meal) to make and it comes out quickly so the turnover time goes fast. A basket of pastries and a large fruit cup is served immediately upon seating. The princesses themselves really focus on the little kiddies and make their rounds quickly. However you may have a bit of a wait for you table. When we came out of our breakfast last year at 9:05 there was quite a crowd waiting for tables.

Have a great time! We are looking forward to our second Cindy's breakfast on 10/27!

What is the Surprise Celebration that was mentioned 2 posts ago?

 

[NJFabFour]

"Cinderella's Surprise Celebration" is a show at MK performed in front of the castle several times each day. It stars Cinderella, but includes appearances from most of the Disney characters.

I had myself worked into an absolute lather about trying to get tickets for the CRT for my grandkids trip to WDW and was going to set the alarm for 5 am MDT and start speed-dialing. Well, yesterday at 10 am (noon EDT) I decided to just give it a shot and see what the CRO would say. I got 11/5 at 9:50 a.m for a party of 4. I couldn't believe it. So, give it a shot and see what happens. I am so delighted that my 2 yr old granddaughter who lives, eats and dreams the princesses will have her breakfast after all.

I hope I am not too late, but I just cancelled a reservation for 6 on Wednesday October 1st at 9:00 am. I have heard that the cancellations can sometimes take up to 24 hours to post and I just cancelled about 2 hours ago, so if anyone needs them try calling Disney Dining right away. I was on the phone with them making other reservations, so I didnt think of posting first before cancelling...sorry, and i hope this helps someone out....

 

[kylie&haley'smom]

I know when they answer you cut them off and say how many for Cinderella. My dd will be 11months when we go. Do I say 3 and a baby for Cinderella,or just say 4? Plus,do I say we will have a stroller? Do they let you bring a stroller in? I'm just getting nervous,because it's getting close.

 

[Howie]

you say 4 and then they will ask the ages; also the strollers are left downstairs at the entrance; they have high chairs and boosters upstairs for you and you can also request one during your call;

Hello everyone-

I almost hate to post this in fear others who worked so hard to get CRT PS will be out to get me. Anyway, I wanted others to know about my experience as well.

This past Friday (8/8/03) at 2:30pm (CST) I made PS for a party of eight for CRT for 10:10 am. I actually had a choice as to the time I wanted. We have our in laws joining us who have two young girls and wanted to surprise them with this breakfast. Initially talking with their mother months ago, I suggested that we do the storybook breakfast because of the time and effort that it takes to make these reservations. Boy! Was I surprised and very fortunate in the change in policy for PS.

So, for those of you out there....take advantage of this change.

I know this is short notice, but we just cancelled breakfast for EIGHT at Cindy's for Friday morning 8/15 @ 8:10am. The park opens at 9. (Early entry is to AK that day.) Hope someone can use it!

 

[princess lovers mom]

I am calling right now to cancel Sat 10/11 8 am for 4 people
Hope someone can use it...we had 2 for the same day, taking the 9am for us...I you take it we will see you on the way out!!!

According to the DIS website and mousesavers newsletter, Cindy's ressies can be made 90 days out as of August 2003 instead of 60 days out.

I just got off the phone with GF concierge, and my cancellation for CRT on 10/1 table of 6 at 9:00 am has not gone through yet, so if anyone wanted it, just keep trying and it should open up any time...It is surprising to me because I did it like 3 days ago!!
