I was new to the boards, and did not know about the PS dates for Cindy's - so I missed out. I called two, sometimes three times per day (getting up early) saying "reservations-for-cindys-breakfast-party-of-four-oct-20,-or-21" as quickly as possible without taking a breath! I tried on my cell, regular phone, WDW dining, pressing 2 and spinning the phone around my head a few times for any luck.
I have two little girls (3 and 4), and the 4 year old is in love with Cinderella (being that for Halloween), and a princess groupie. I pretty much resigned myself that we missed it this year and so I made PS for Gullivers, 1900 Park Faire, Tony's, and Hollywood & Vine - character overload!
Just for grins, I called the morning we were leaving (10/19 at 6:30 CST) half expecting to hear the "sorry mam, sold out". Sure enough, she says "sorry, but that is sold out". Then she says "five in your party?" I gulped and said, well, no 4 - but I'll take five, can I take the one for five, she say's "sorry mam, this is for party of five". I tell her quickly "I'll take them, I'll find someone" I give her my CC and scribble down the number.
We show up early for our 8:20 reservation, with a red-headed Cinderella who had eyes as big as moons. We arrive at the park with the park to ourselves, and the day was magical. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, the food was good, and the princesses were kind, beautiful, and took time at each table.
Saw Belle, Cinderella, Prince Charming and Mary Poppins. Our waiter was kind and called each girl 'princess', and mom and dad King and Queen.
We only had two blurps - our Camcorder had 'dew detected', and we were unable to video tape the breakfast (got plenty of pictures). Additionally, upon entry to the park we had a family picture taken with NO ONE in the park. When we returned to pick up - the photographer goofed and the pictures were blurry and we were not able to purchase.
I did not care, for without the ressies, we wouldn't have even been there.
Sorry so long, but moral of the story - is to keep trying! If you have little girls, you will make their day! This was a magical breakfast. We enjoyed the pre-plated non buffet dining, even though our daughters were so mesmerized by the whole event, they barely ate a thing. Breakfast = expensive, but as they say, look on daughters face = Priceless!!!!!!
