Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[mnbrowns]

OK, I know the original post is outdated, so can you tell me what the Disney message says when they are closed so I know to hang up right away and redial?
I have a friend starting first thing tomorrow and I'd like to help her.

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a late seating for Cinderella's breakfast. I would like to take advantage of the early entry on Thurs. July 22 - our first full day at WDW. I thought we would be better off with a late seating so we can do the rides first. How is the last seating? Does anyone know what time the last seating is? Is the food still plentiful? Would we get rushed out of there?. This is our first time trying to eat in the castle so any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. BTW this is for our 4 yr old DD who would like to see the Princesses but would really like to see Belle. ( Okay so her mom would like to also )
Thanks!
Pam

great thread - we haven't eaten at Cindy's breakfast in about 7 years and we've vowed to try to get a PS for our 7/6 -7/13 trip this year. Fingers crossed, pixie dust needed, prayers, etc etc.
It's kind of like a game isn't it? Trying to get these ressies.

And the funny thing is - we don't have kids! But we love character meals. Aren't we nuts?

Uh, I don't know quite how to say this...

The 90-day window has already passed for booking during your stay... Today they were booking for 7/19...

We are going to WDW May1. I guess it's too late to make a PS fir cindy's breakfast. But how about lunch / dinner? Are they hard to get too? What's the difference betwwen breakfast and lunch/dinner there?

Thanks!

To answer the question about how soon the cancelation go's through it takes up to a day. They might have gottenan earlier cancelation. Now for the person who missed her day to call you should call everyday not in the morning but afternoon is fine and you should get a good chance of cancelation plus just show up because they leave seats open for walk ups.

Thanks, Jasminesmommy!

I'll try to call them up regularly. How about lunch/dinner. Are they hard to get too?

 

[Jasminesmommy]

Not as hard. CRT and Hoop dee Do Revue are the hardest. But you should still get them if going during Peak season because with so many people there bound to eat somewhere cool and its good to have the PS so you are not waiting hours.

Aaargh!!!
It's 3:45 AM here in the UK and I have been awake for an hour or so worrying about this - I know it's stupid, but what can you do?! Well, I thought I'd post this!
We were hoping to get CRT breakfast for my daughter's 12th birthday (24 July). We worked out some time ago that it would entail phoning at 12:00 noon BST on Sunday 25 April. It so happens that we will all be in church at that time. Now, it's not that we're so pious that we couldn't miss a Sunday now and then (especially for something as important as our daughter's birthday!) - it's just that, well, I'm the Minister and my wife is the organist, and on this particular Sunday we are both committed to attending service.
I can't think of anyone else we could ask to make the reservation for us - no-one who would understand what it means and who would be happy to put themselves through the necessary agonies! (Our children's grandparents would, I think, find it all too stressful - an international call that has to be timed to the second. It's asking too much!)
Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative strategy? I know this is a long shot, but I'd love to hear any thoughts you may have.

This is a longshot but why don't you call immediately after church. Sometimes people have several people call and both end up getting reservations and then one has to cancel. I've heard of people calling and being told there were no seats, making their other PS and then double checking again and a seat has become available. The worst thing that could happen if you call after church is that you wont get a seat - which you wouldn't get if you don't try. Like I said, it's a longshot but...

Yes! I got my PS and for a time I wanted!

 

[pam66]

I just got a PS for Cinderella and for the time I wanted!

 

[Jasminesmommy]

I am calling for a member tomorrow but don't want to mess it up. Do they still have the survey before and is it still 1-2-1-1?

 

[jvas]

no survey..........

 

[Jasminesmommy]

Do you still just hit 1 right away?? Whats the drill??

 

[Stratocastermagic]

I tested the system yesterday - it was 1-2-1-2.
("I am that member!")

 

[Jasminesmommy]

I never even thought to test it yesterday but I am up and ready. Wish me luck. 9 minutes to go

Well, how did you do????

 

[Stratocastermagic]

Success! How exciting is that???!!!
My daughter (whose 12th birthday will begin with breakfast at CRT) is thrilled.
Even her 16 year-old brother thinks it's pretty cool that someone should go to all that trouble for us.
I've said 'thank you' to Jasminesmommy in a PM but I'm happy to record it here for everyone to read! She is clearly one of the good guys!
I called later in the day to confirm the booking with my credit card, and while I was on the phone got PS at California Grill for our other son's 14th birthday (during MK fireworks, hopefully - although they were unable to confirm that), and the Fantasmic Dinner Package at Hollywood & Vine.
It's been an exciting day! yay, Jasminesmommy!

I love how people on this board are so helpful and kind to one another . I was wondering what info do you have to give them when you book the breakie??
thanks Diane
