Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[sandieb]

Disneydill - Hi, I have used this process twice to make reservations, and I was able to secure them each time. If there is any "most important tip" it would be to begin early and keep hitting redial.

We had such a wonderful time at Cindy's breakfast last May that I want to go again this December. Our server was great. The princesses were wonderful.

My three year old granddaughter was dressed as Belle, although she loves Cinderella. She had a disposable camera and was so excited when Cindy came to our table to visit, that her little hands were shaking, and she had the camera upsidedown. Cindy went over and helped her get her camera set correctly, and then stood in her most precious pose. When my granddaughter said "Cinderella, I love you so much." and Cindy said, "I love you too." I thought of how completely magical this was. Good Luck! Sandie

Sandie,

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate your advice and strategy sharing and most of all, thanks for "sharing the magic!"

I'll let you know how things go!

Thanks again!

I just found out that my DSil and her DD are coming to WDW with us! That is great, but now I'm wondering how I should try to get PS for CRT.
Should I say for "7 people" and hope that the CM will think to look for two tables for 4 rather than the (what sounds) harder to get table for 7? Or would another approach work better?
Do I sound desperate?
Are my hopes for this ps out the window?
The only time we have gotten one before was when we stayed concierge - it might be the one and only!

You all have been great help so far - I'm hoping for some words of wisdom!

The tables are for 2 - 4 - 8 ect ect if you have 7 they'll give you a table for 8 with one open seat. If you needed to add one other person last minute it wouldn't be a problem if you have an odd number of people.

I am gonna die and go to heaven now. It is 4:03AM and I just got ressies for Cindy's for 8:15 on Dec 16th! I have pneumonia and the Dr wanted to admit me yesterday but I refused because I knew I had to be up early to make my call and the hospital wasn't gonna let me call long distance!! I am leaving to go to the hospital now...but I feel better than I have all week! Good luck to all of you! And thank you for all of the wonderful information! Andrea

 

[disneydill]

Thanks for the info. I had worked myself into a dither, but now I am calm. Heck, my kids have done this before and have been to WDW two times already just this year. Our first trip this year was a "no request denied" birthday trip and the other was so wonderfully laid back that we actually came home rested and refreshed! We will all live if we don't get CRT and will have a magical time either way!

Here's a little pixie dust to go around ...::::*****::::....!!

I GOT PS FOR CINDY'S!



December 18th, 2003@8:30am!

 

[mazzarafe]

OK, I'm still shaking from being so darn nervous but I got my Cindy's ressie!!!

I cannot believe it.

December 19th 10:20am just like I wanted. We have MVMCP the night before so I didn't want to get one too early and have to wake up everyone if they were tired.

I guess my DD having her birthday today brought me some pixie dust!

 

[CBRorBust]

THAT IS GREAT!

I was so excited yesterday too!

Happy Birthday to you DD!

I got my PS for Cindy's for 8:05 on 12/21.

This was my first attempt at this.

I started calling at about 6:58 ET and got through to the reservations system at about 6:59:30. I had the PS completed and was off the phone by 7:02.

I want a day later in the week and will try then, I just wanted to make sure I had one nailed down first.

Anyone calling this Friday to get a PS for Christmas morning? We are!!

We are going to try for Christmas morning as well. My wife and I got through this morning for the 22nd - we were both speed dialing our cell phones! I was on hold for only about 10 seconds, and when I asked for earliest available, I was given 8:05. I think my wife would prefer a little later time slot, but after reading about people not getting in for their entire stay, I wanted to make sure we got something! 8:05 shouldn't be too difficult, and will put us back in the park in plenty of time. If we get Christmas day, I'll try for a later time slot. A few years back, we had a late ressie and only saw the characters once before they started shutting down, so we don't want to be too late.

Tinkerbell sprinkled pixie dust on us this morning. This was the first day for us to start calling for the Cindy's p/s for our upcoming trip this new years eve. This was also my first time to call for Cindy's - I am not the early-riser type, and my wife has been the one to do the calls before. This morning we were both up, me with a cell phone in each hand and my wife with the landline in her's, wdw-dine programmed in speeddial on all. I heard the message finally change to "press 1" - I did - and got CRT for 9:15 on my first morning to try.

Doin' the Happy Dance !

 

[mazzarafe]

CONGRADULATIONS!!!

What a great way to start a Monday morning.

 

[Boardwalk Tigger]

I called today too. I kept speed dialing until the lines opened and then I was put on hold for over 10 minutes. I thought my chances were gone but to my delight they had an available table for 4 at 8:50am. So keep holding for those ressies

I found out DU had booked 2 reservations for me and they just cancelled the one on 11/2 at 8:30 for family of 5. Don't need to eat 2x in one morning!!! Maybe someone who needs a booking can

 

[tazz]

should have finished my sentence. Anyway, maybe someone who needs a booking can get this time since we just cancelled.

 

[Pixie_Dust]

Do they dress up the characters/restaurant special for Christmas during the month of December? Thanks

 

[Praise2Him]

No, they don't. My DD's birthday is Dec. 20 and we've been there on her birthday for the past 2 years, in addition to several other times. It's always the same, except for the characters that are there. They can be different ones sometimes.
