Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[Kat]

I called today for January 10 th for a party of two for my daughter and myself. I had worked this morning and I didn't call until late in the afternoon. I was offered 3 times including 8:10 and 8:55 am. I took the 8:10 am. I'm sure this must be because a lot of people still don't realize that they can be made at the 90 day mark or because we are just a party of two, but this is for a Saturday morning. Good luck to everyone else!

I am a grown woman and am wondering if it is really necessary to cry over not getting CRT ressies for breakfast...... I have tried for the past 4 days and no luck.... I have used every tip on this board and I think I have talked to every CRO person that works at Disney to see if there are any cancellations from November 4th on......one last day to try....wish me luck..... arghhhhhhh...

I feel the same way. I really want to go but for me, I feel guilty, like I should have no business taking a PS away from a child so a party of two grown adults can enjoy the Cindy breakfast.

I think maybe it's because Disney brings out the 2 year old who wants to be a princess in all of us.

I asked this in another post but I'll ask here as well,

How hard is it to get PS for Feb 25th?

I work and I'll be commuting at 7 am on Nov 25th. Is nov 25th the day I need to call?

Also, want to book Crystal Palace for late lunch with Pooh that same afternoon. Is that as hard?

 

[Jasminesmommy]

If you want CRT then yes its hard and nessacery you call at 7am. Think about it there are not to many opening and everyone going to Disney at that time wants CRT so they all will be calling. Now for Crystal Palace its not that hard so you can wait till later on that if you want.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

What do folks do who have to be commuting to work during the time when Disney has decided you can call for your PS?

Do people take the day off for this? I have no more vacation time at work but I *think* to make a PS for the 25th of Feb , I need to call on 11/27/03. I think that I have that day off for the thanksgiving break.

they usually have family members and friends help them call; and you are right - nov 27 it is for your call;

Is that allowed?

 

[Howie]

yes, disney even recommends it; if you call them before the fact and ask how can one increase their odds of getting a PS there they will tell you so; just make sure whoever calls for you knows all your info like names, number of adults and kids and credit card info of the person whose name is on the PS like yours since it is not transferable any more;

Thanks. I'll ask my mom and my aunt if they can help me out !

I just wanted to let people know that they should not give up! I was fortunate enough to get CRT on the morning that the ps opened. However, I later needed to add people to our table. After trying randomly for weeks, I finally was able to do it! So, don't give up! People do cancel!!!

 

[GilyAnn]

We are going December 4-11 . I didn't know that the reservations could be made 90 dys in advance. So I missed the original date that I should call!

I really, really want to get the Cinderella's breakfast but it's already full for all the days.

Is there any hope at all. I've heard about Cancelations is there any other way that we could get in? How full is in those days?

Any help would be apreaciated.

Keep checking! You never know when it can change!

You can always try to walk in too! I have heard of diser's having some luck that way. Keep the faith!!

Can't that be done? I will keep on trying but can we try walking in? Since what time?

Thanks!

I'll be calling this friday for my cindy ressies and i need a little advice. We are a party of 11 but only 5 girls(females). The boys are cool about not going to see the princesses for breakfast but I'm shooting for an early entry morn. and we just decided to stay off-site. I'd hate to leave the boys behind while we get in the park early. Would I be killing my chances by asking for a table for 11 or should I just ask for 5 and hope for a later seating? I just don't want to leave my husband, b-i-ls, f-i-l and boys standing at the gate while we get in early because we have priority seating. I know it all sounds silly but this is by ps week to call and i'm starting to stress. thanks.

I would keep trying every day more than once a day. I called yesterday because I was trying to rearange our schedule and just asked what they had the week we were there, Nov 20 - 27 and they had two different times on two different days. None were better than what I already had but they were available. So what I am saying is that people do cancel all the time so dont give up hope.

My 90 days out was this past week.... I called the 90 day advance equivalent of every day of my vacation to get a CRT PS for each day, just in case.... when I finally arrived at 90 days from the day I actually WANTED the PS for, I went back and cancelled the two other PS I had made. I was going to make one for each day of the trip if necessary and then decide which was the best day/time, and then cancel the others. As it turns out I got exactly the time I wanted on exactly the day I wanted! YAHOO! So any how, if I did that, I'm sure that others do the same, so cancellations must be frequent! If the CRT PS is very important to you (and/or your family) I would call EVERY DAY until the day of my trip to try and get a reservation. If still no luck, then certainly try the walk in method, as previously mentioned. If you want further information about how to call 90 days in advance and have great luck getting a time, see my post at TalkDisney.com. titled "Method for great success with CRT PS" (I think?). Hope this helps someone!

This message is for ESMERALDAX...If you want to figure out exactly when you need to call, use the Priority Seating Planning Report at Disneyinfo.com.... it has been updated to have the 90 advance dates figured out (which is a recent change from 60 days advance for CRT). That will give you the exact date to call. Trust me, it works! And yes, if you REALLY want this PS, you must try calling at 7:00 am exactly. See my post titled "Method for great success for CRT PS" at Talkdisney.com for a slightly complicated but highly successful method for getting through to Reservations at the right time on the right day. Although I must admit, during my "test" phase, I called for a CRT reservation at about 7:40 am one morning about 4 days before my actual day to call and they had a table available at about 8:50 am. When I said "No thanks" the reservations was a little surprised... I'm sure that most people don't turn away an opening! So don't give up if you can't be on the phone right at 7 am, but also don't be surprised if you don't get what you want... Good Luck!.....

Could someone clear this up for me? The last time we tried to get ressies for Cindy's (2002), we didn't have to press "one" once we got in to the reservation center, but I recently read that you DO have to press "one" if you're making a ressie for anyone except Victoria & Albert's (which is a "two"). I want to be prepared, so any help would be great!!
Thanks for the update!!

I would suggest doing a "dry-run" and listen to the options, since they have changed lately. Heck, I would even try to book Cindy's now, you never know...
