Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[Laurajeremy]

No luck this morning for me--and I was on hold from before 7 am--- oh well
We did get Storybook Breakfast though and will see Cinderella at Park Fare-- but of course will keep trying--- ;-)

Woo-Hoo! I got right through; didn't wait on hold AT ALL! I got exactly the time I wanted. Thank you guys for all the tips! It was SO worth getting up at 4am!

If anyone is planning on cancelling a ressie for 4 during Mar 22-28, please let me know Thank you**

I just called for the Storybook Princess one and the cast member gave me Cindy's. We had to cancel Cindy's for 10am so I hope someone was able to use that one around 7:05 am. LOL No problem with the Storybook reservation. The cast member said that everyone calls for Cinderella's first thing so I threw him off. What a nice guy... telling me to relax once he put our reservation on the screen! They must be so used to all of us this early in the morning.

W called the day before at 7 am from our hotel room and got breakfast for three the next morning. However, after eating breakfast you realize you pay for the experience of dining with the Princesses. Everything heavy and fried. Love the Crystal Palace!!

It's been about 4 years since I've had to worry about trying for a Cinderella's breakfast PS, but here I am again! (We were successful in 2001, by the way!)

I have a question: For this trip we are staying concierge at the Wilderness Lodge. Should I ONLY ask them to make the PS for Cindy's for me, or should *I* try, or both??? Last time we were on our own and had 3 phone lines going at the same time!

P.S. Has the phone thing changed much since 2001? I mean as far as when to press, what to press, etc? thanks!

I got it! I got it! We will be dining at the Castle with the princess at 9:55 on May 14th. I was ready to try every day but Thank God got through on the first day. Yeah for me. Now Tuesday I try for Norway.

 

[Princess Glenda]

Congratulations! Isn't it nerving, but so GREAT when you get CRT reservations? I got mine during the week and I am THRILLED!! CRT is GREAT and the atmosphere is breathtaking!

I don't see the advice in the first post has it been removedf? I am calling tomorrow and would like to review it.....

Thanks

If a message comes on the phone saying that the Cinderella's breakfast may already be sold out. The message comes on after be on hold for 10 minutes. I was using 2 phones and the one I dialed first the message came on then the other one after a another minute. Whatever you do don't hang up. I waited another 5 minutes and was able to get the 9:55 PS. Good Luck Tomorrow.

I am a new DISer, I have been reading the tips for getting a PS for CRT, but where is the calendar so I can find out when I am 90 days out?

Thanks for any help,

Go up to Dis Home at the top of the page and go to Dining. It's listed in there

I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate you taking the time and coordinating your cancellation of the CRT, so that I could pick it up! I've cancelled several over the year, and wasn't able to alert anyone on this disboard in time. This will mean so much to Kitty's little friend who just now has decided to come during one of the busiest times of the year! We still don't have a room for her family, but hey, we've got the CRT breakfast ressie thanks to you! You're awesome, and I hope that this kind deed will come back to you many times more!!

 

[polkadotminnie]

You are certainly welcome!

 

[bigcrit]

Thanks all. We were able to get CRT at 8:15 on our first full day (5/15). I don't know who is more excited, the adults or the children. Anyway thanks to everyone for helping.....

 

[Cinderpals]

Hi! Am I missing something? I called right at 7am (dialed in at 6:59), got the recorded message clicked 1 1, and still had message going forever.... had to click 1 again after Victoria and Albert message... Didn't work, couldn't get through and I finally hung up at 7:20!

Am I not calling the correct number? 407 WDW Dine, right?

 

[bigcrit]

Yeah you are calling the right number. Were you looking for 5/15? We got 2 ressies for this day. I am going to cancel the 9:15AM a little later today. Cinderpals PM me if you want to synchronize times that way you will have a shot at getting it.

 

[Cinderpals]

Thank you for your offer! I appreciate that. We're not going again until June 2-6th. Have a nice day How did you get through so quickly? Were you able to get past the message by pressing 1 1, or did you have to listen to it until it got to the Victoria and Alberts part?

 

[Cinderpals]

I meant to say that we're not going again after Mar 22-29th until June 2nd-6th. I was practicing for June dates. Thanks to Kristy, I have a CRT ressie for the 23rd!

I dialed in at 7:01 AM, heard the "if you're holding for CRT, they are probably sold out" at about 7:15 AM, decided to stay on hold and someone picked up at 7:30 AM and I was able to get a reservation at 8:10 AM for 5/15.

So, the moral is, if you hear the recording, do not hang up. Stay on and see what they see. It's worth the extra 15 minutes on hold.
