Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[Praise2Him]

I also got it today, but it's a backup because I really want June 1, so I'll be trying again tomorrow. If I get it, I'll cancel today's.

I have read through pages 1-4 and the last...so sorry if this has been asked! What is the earliest PS you can get with CRT? There are suppose to be some benefits when booking PSs with a Grand Gathering #. We will have 9 people and a GG#. Has anyone given their GG# to the CM when booking?

I don't know anything about Grand Gatherings, but the earliest CRT PS is 8:00 a.m.

Hi,
We are going in July and we are GG too...9 people..I would like to know this answer also...

I heard that they dont have any table that will hold nine....Does this mean that as hard as it is to get a res. for CRT with the norm of 4 people, the chances of getting a res. for nine is very low??....

I have opened my big mouth and told my DGDs(5 YO twins)that we are going to try to have breakfast with there fave princesses...Now I am so worried that I wont be able to get it...

Will being a GG help or hinder???

I was able to get a PS for 13 last year for CRT so there is hope - I would call your grand gatherings # and ask them to see what they suggest. I called the regular dining line in the am and followed the awesome instructions on this board and was able to get through - infact 3 of us were calling and we all 3 got a party of 13 - of course once we found out all 3 of us had gotten through we decided which one we wanted and immediatley canceled the other 2. We were all seated next to each other and it worked out fine! Good Luck!

 

[Dalpal]

Thanks,
I dont know of any GG phone no. ...I have a GG #, but I have always just talked to reg.CRO people....Is there a GG phone # to call for all of this stuff?

 

[Carrie Ellis]

Thanks everyone! I would love to get a 8am PS! I will be trying soon! I called 1-800-WDW-Dine and they transferred me to the GG people last year. I think eventually I did have a GG# phone number but I could not find it on any paperwork now!

I feel better about getting 9 people reserved now that I have heard testimonies!

Thanks to all!

Even though we qualified for a grand gathering with 13 we did not do anything through grand gatherings. I'm not sure if there is a phone # or not for them , but when you call the regular dining line for CRT they should be able to take care of everything for you - You will not get transfered to group dining unless your party of over 12 - even with the transfer though we had no problems getting a PS for 13. Good luck!!

I got PS for 9 by calling WDW-Dine. We are at 2 separate tables, but I don't care. Hopefully, we'll be close together.

The Cinderella castle breakfast is severely over-rated.

Its over $7 more per adult than other character breakfasts and you get one plate of food, including scrambled eggs and undercooked sausage. Other than walking into the castle itself there is nothing great about this breakfast.

I understand they need to deal with the restrictions of space and have to do a served breakfast, but some options would be preferred. Maybe some music would add something to a rather dull and expensive meal.

Never again. I'd rather do Chef Mickey or the breakfast in MGM.

We've been to CRT twice and have loved it both times! It is all you can eat -our servers were always asking if any of us wanted more. Sorry you had such a bad experience. We are going again in May and looking forward to it.

 

[Disneycrazymom]

I don't see anything when I click on the tips in the first post. Are directions listed somewhere else? Thanks I start calling tomorrow!

DU is our TA, and have booked our cruise and room only ressies. I have asked them to try and get us a PS for CRT. I had to authorize a $50 deposit on the ressie, though it has not been charged yet because we are not at the 90 day window for them to make the ressie. But, they didnt tell me that we'd lose the deposit or anything like that. So....do they do this on all ressies now?

 

[maleficent_man]

I can start booking from next Saturday - I'm already starting to panic about it!!

There is a deposit for CRT - it is $10 per adult and $5 per child - If you decide not to go you must cancel 24 hours before to be refunded the deposit. When you have breakfast the bill will reflect the deposit and you will pay the remaining balance.

Do they do this for all PS now? So if we want a PS at Ohana the night before, same deal?

Not for 'Ohana. Most others are not the same as CRT.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION--I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK AND SO THANKFUL THAT I GOT MY RESSIE ON THE FIRST DAY OF CALLING! WE DID HOWEVER, HAVE 3 PHONES GOING!
