CRT characters/wait times

[timandlesley]

Hello,
We will be experiencing CRT in June for the first time for breakfast and have an 8:15 a.m. seating. Do you know what characters are there normally? I assume Cindy is a definite, what about the mice and the prince??? My son would love for the mice to be there, they are his favorites in the movie.
As far as seating at 8:15, will we wait forever? How long does breakfast take once you are seated? Would love to make it to the park around 9 for opening. Any help/answers would be GREAT!
Thanks,
Lesley

No clue but Congratulations on getting Cindy's!! I'm hoping to get one when my window for 90 days opens up, sounds like 8:15 is a great time! Good luck & I hope you have a magical experience. I think I read on here once that Fairy Godmother & some of the mice are sometimes seated in the Foyer..

I was there in October and the characters there were Cindy, Belle, Snow White, Mary Poppins, and Sleeping Beauty. the Fairy Godmother was in the lobby. We had a later seating so we had to wait a while (20-30 minutes or so it felt). At 8:15 I would think you wouldn't ahve to wait as long. Breakfast is brought out fairly quickly. I think we probably spent about an hour or so there. Enjoy it!

We've been there at 8:10 and 8:15, so the CMs let us in at 8:00. After walking through the park and taking pictures of the deserted streets and castle, we checked in and were taken up to the dining room immediately. Is 8:00 the actual first seating or is 8:10 (to give guests time to walk to the castle when they are allowed in at 8:00)????

We had an 8:05 seating and we were done in time to head to Dumbo and then to BTMRR.

I wonder if they have 8:00 times available? Thanks for the information everyone. I am hoping the wait time isn't too long. One of the reasons I am so excited is to be able to get into the park early while the streets are empty, that will be amazing all by itself. I can't wait!!! So, are the Godmother and the mice always in the lobby? Can you get pic's with them too?

I think the earliest is 8:05. If you get there before 8, they will let you in at the gate to MK. The Fairy Godmother was in the lobby the last two times we were there. I guess now the mice are suppose to be there and only Cinderella and not the other princesses. I don't know if that change has taken place yet though. DD and I saw the mice outside the castle last year and also at the hat at MGM with Cindy, but you have to hit that line with Cindy fast at MGM as it gets long very fast. The mice by the castle weren't hard to get a pic with.

You have to look up high to see the mice (Jaq and Gus). They are small, carved figures up along the top of the wall. I have never seen live mice characters at CRT and we have done this breakfast at least five or six times, with last January the latest.

If you want to see Perla and Susy, you have to go to the Cinderella dinner at 1900 Park Faire.

I have the opposite concern - our CRT PS isn't until 11AM and I am worried that there will be a huge backup and/or we will be stuck with cold leftovers. Any thoughts?? Thanks!

I believe that the breakfast is changing to just be Cinderella, Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother and the Mice. The other princesses are going to be at the Princess Storybook Meals. This was supposedly announced when the added the CRT lunch that starts June 10. I have heard conflicting reports that the characters have already switched over to the new format. We will be at the lunch June 18, so I guess I won't know for sure until then.

I know others will probably be upset about the character change, but for us we are Cinderella movie fans so my kids want to see Cindy, prince charming and the mice. Do you think the mice will be actual characters that are dressed and walk around? My son would LOVE that. It would make the meal a bit more boy friendly with those characters I think. Has anyone gone recently or heard for sure about the change?

The mice we saw at the hat at MGM and outside the castle last year were like Mickey and had a costume and walked around and did autographs and did pics. I would think they would be the same. I'd post a pic, but have no clue how to do that DD flipped two years ago when she saw them for the first time. She is character obsessed when she is there. She said she wouldn't be last year and still was. She ran me all over looking for characters It was fun though.

We have had a later seating before, and no prob. with the food. The only issue I have had with the food (no matter what time), is the stuffed french toast. It is sometimes soggy, and on the cooler side. I just no know to ask for it w/ the blueberry sauce on the side, and it comes out piping hot

We like the later seating-as the tables start to clear out, the princesses spent a little more time than usual.

Have fun!!

I have no idea what I am doing and DH is gone and DS is doing his homework. If it doesn't work, I'll try again later.

DS had to help...that's sad

Thanks so much, I can't wait until my son gets home so I can show him this pic, he just loves those mice! I sure hope they are at the dinner. What about Gus and the boy mice? Has anyone ever seen them?

I don't know if they would be at the dinner...just the breakfast and lunch are character dining.

I have never seen Gus.

We didn't see the mice at CRT, but they were at the 1900 Park Fare dinner (along with Prince Charming). The only mice in costume are Perla and Suzy, my daughter even asked Cinderella where "Jaq and Gus-Gus" were (Cinderella told her they were sleeping, LOL).

Oops, I don't know why I said dinner, I meant breakfast.
