Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[kaseyC]

Wow, we had 3 phones going. I was on hold on 2 of them. My DH got thru on his Blackberry at about 7:03. Whoo Hoo! We got a 9:00 am seating for our party of 8. There are going to be 4 happy little girls that morning.
Good Luck to everyone else trying!!

I just got thru at 7:15 and for those of you still on hold you can hang up because they are sold out allready. I did not get anythinghttp://www.disboards.com/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=195400#

I want to know what to ask for when I do finally get to call.
Also, how do you know how many days in advance you can call to get a PS? Some of the guidebooks say from 60 to 120 days in advance. How did you know that Cindy's was 90 days and how can I find out about other PS reservation times?
Thanks!

I think the latest seating is 10:20. But when you call, just say "latest seating available".

Almost all the restaurants are 90 days now. This changed last fall after the guide books went to press (except Passporter). Study www.allearsnet.com for all information related to Disney.

Well, we had 6 phones going and only one got through- amazing! DH got 8:05 for our party of 7 on Dec. 6th. DD is very excited Cinderella invited her to eat in her castle with the princesses again. For those who didn't get in- sending pixie dust your way for tomorrow or a cancellation!!!

I was out of town for my DGM's funeral services and didn't have all of my "notes" re: my upcoming call for CRT ressies! However, I called Friday and waited about 20 minutes (calling from 2 phones...), and was able to get a 10:00 ps for Dec. 3rd. I decided to try the next day too, and called from 2 phones to the 407 #, and was on hold for 45 minutes before finally getting through. I was just about to hang up! I could not believe my ears when she told me she had an 8:10 ps available for Dec. 4th!! I have always wanted the early seating!! WOOHOO!!! The only bad thing is that they will probably be filming the Christmas Parade that day, and I had sworn that I would NOT do that again! We were in the MK last year when they taped it, and it was too crowded for my taste! Regardless, I'm very happy!

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't get a CRT ressie if you are on hold over 15 minutes, because you CAN!! People may have family members try too, and then they end up cancelling one of them, so never give up hope!!

I started calling at 6:56 this AM and the "Thank you for calling Disney Dining" message came on at exactly 6:58 on my clock. I pressed 1, waited then 1 again when the next message came on. I was immediately put through to an operator, got the first seating for 8:10 AM for a party of 8. Yesterday I was on hold for over an hour and gave up. I'm so happy that I got through, my nieces will be thrilled! My 2 girls have already done it several times but they still look forward to each time.

I can't believe that you got in so quickly and sold out, I saw on another thread someone got a CM at 7:08 this morning and got CRT. I got a CM at 7:15 and they were sold out. I am sorry you did not get your PS I can't beleive you were not able to get PSB. Have you tried 1900 Park fare dinner with Cinderella we did that in Feb and honestly my daugther loved it more than the castle. It is usually easier to get PS I called this afternoon and got dinner at 1900 Park Fare and the CM gave me many time choices which means there still may be openings.

Also some others have mentioned calling 48 hours before you wish to eat at CRT because that is when people have to cancel by to get a refund. I know your frustration, I am so disappointed with how difficult it is to get a PS at CRT. I have been getting up early with the rest of you on the phone early 6:57, 6:58...... and sold out. It is just luck if the CM picks up in time.

klb5, disneyw/kids

I was wondering how many in your party for CRT and if this makes a difference in availability?

Jim.

 

[disneyw/kids]

They did not even ask how many, when I got thru at 7:15 and said Cindy's breakfast ... they said allready sold out. We only have 3 people in our party.

 

[magicalmcwho]

I have a question, i have extra booking with trying to get my schedule lined out, so has anybody tried a 3-way call to swap a PS's or will they do this?

Jim.

I think disney is against doing that i think if you call and then the person calls right after you when the phones aren't busy it will work.

When do you have an extra booking? I sent you a PM. We would love a chance to eat at CRT. I have been calling all the time and have never been able to get in.

KLB5,
We are headed to WDW 11/27-12/4. We have two ressies for CRT for a table of 5. We will be cancelling one of them if your are interested in coordinating the cancel with your ressie. I'm just not sure yet of which day. I have the rest of our itinerary to plan. Don't know if it would help. Our ressies are for 12/2 at 9:45 and 12/3 at 8:25. LEt me know if I can help.

 

[melscuba]

same message to you disneyw/kids. I'm not sure how a swap would work. I just wanted you guys to know a day would be coming available.

 

[disneyw/kids]

That is awesome that those of you who are lucky enough to get thru are willing to post your cancellations here. I guess we all know how difficult CRT is to get. Thanks you guys.

Thanks I am not arriving until 12/5, but thank you so much I hope KLB5 can take advantage.

 

[magicalmcwho]

Can you forward the info to klb5. We did the PSB this past May we have a 3yr DD. she loved it. I have to go bowling i will talk to you later.

Jim.

My sister and I have both been trying to get CRT the past 2 mornings-this morning my sister actually got thru, then her cell phone lost service-what luck!!
Oh well...I can't try tomorrow because we have MVMCP tickets for the 7th, and it doesn't make sense to me to use 1 of our park hopper passes for a day we already have other tickets for-so, I'll be on the phone again this Thurs./Fri./Sat., then that's it. I'm crossing my fingers...
