CRT back-up plan?

[Surgie]

Traveling early May 2018, staying at Poly. Our plan is for two little girls in the group to go to BBB as close to 8:00 as possible. Then breakfast ADR for all 10 of us around 10:00 at CRT. I've been attempting dummy reservations at 6:00 am for the past few days just to get to know the process and each day there has been nothing available for CRT even logging on exactly at 6:00 am.

So when it's November and our 180-day window opens, I realize I will have 180+10 and it's better to reserve further into our trip. But if nothing is available at CRT, what would be a good option for the little princesses to feel special? We will have Hopper Passes so could go elsewhere but prefer MK.

Crystal Palace might be fun if they want to eat breakfast with Pooh and friends.

My favorite thing to do in the morning at MK is to do a pre park opening breakfast at BOG then head to ride Sdmt without a wait. The kids love that. After that, you could take the kids to BBB (maybe a 9:15 reservation) and they could have lunch at CRT. Sometimes lunch at CRT is easier to get than breakfast. Just a backup plan.

Akershus is another big princess meal. It's in Epcot.

Also parties of ten are tough. Would you be willing to split five and five? That would make getting an ADR much easier. Might be something to try if everyone doesn't need to sit right together. It's hard for a party of ten to all talk to each other anyway.

When I needed a party of 9 for CRT I wasn't able to do it booking online. That was one reservation that had to call for. They actually had to split my reservation into 2 reservations for the same time. Unless things have changed within the past 2 years, the largest table size I was told could be booked online for CRT is a reservation for 6.

Yes we definitely can split 5/5 or 6/4 or worst case only 4 will go. But I didn't want to waste time in the reservation process attempting different combinations. So start with 10 or start with 4 and hope to add 6 immediately after?

When I attempted a dummy booking a month or so ago for 180 days out I was able to find a time at CRT for 10 people. Of course I did not complete the reservation process. I guess I should call before my window opens to confirm.

We have CRT booked for July for 9, and the website said it cannot book for parties of this size online. I had to call and have a 5 and a 4.
