CRT Late Dec/NYE Trip--What are the chances?

[tndisney5]

We are really hoping to dine at CRT during our next visit. We will be at MK two days in late Dec. (before NYE). We have never dined here before! We are a party of 5 and hoping for a late lunch or dinner res. What are the chances we will even get this res? I know we are waayyyyyy far out from 180 booking, but I am curious if large parties have had luck during this busy time of year. Clearly I'm over excited

As long as you book as soon as your window opens up, you should be fine. The week between Christmas and New Years is the busiest week at Disney World, but I was able to get a CRT on 12/30 last year without any trouble.

We went a few years ago during this exact time and I got CRT at 180 days out with no problem at all. Granted I did get up at 6am and make my reservations, not sure what it would have been like had I waited. Good luck!!
