CRT...what are the chamces

[Disneymomma0783]

So we booked a trip last weekend for Jan 8-16 and I'm really hoping to find a dinner reservation at CRY for 5 from the 9-15th. I tried calling today and was told the obvious...absolutely nothing available at any point of the day for those days.

Question being, what do you all think my chances are of getting in? We have lunch already at akershus but I would cancel if we got CRT. We did akershus last time.

Thanks!

Keep checking. The week of something might open, especially, but as people book 30-day FP+ and similar, there will be shifts.

At 30 days out, people have pay in full for their packages or cancel. My guess is that would be the best time period to check for a reservation. Also right around when your trip is, I can't remember if it is a 24 hour cancellation policy or 3 day one, but check around midnight at those times and you could also get lucky.

Awesome thank you!! I'm trying to stay neutral, but a big part of me hopes we get it!!!

I just got CRT today for the following week in January. Keep trying! I booked it online.

I found one on the 16th... but it's at 11:05 PM. I assume you aren't looking for that late a meal?

You can book ONLINE?? I thought I had to call!!

And no, lol, the 16th wouldn't quite work. But thank you!

Yes, under things to do on the Disney World website there is a link to make dining reservations. In general I find it easier to make my reservations online and have never had an issue doing so.

Yes, twice/day, I go online and look for dinner on each of our dates, then lunch, then breakfast. My best hint is to select "dinner" as your time slot, rather than "6:30pm" as an example. That way, it will show you every single slot available. I did turn down a few 11pm slots, as that would wreck our family. I decided that if we ate a tiny, in-room breakfast at 7am, lunch at 11am, we could swing a 4pm dinner. We won't eat and snacks during the day, and we'll probably get something to eat right after Wishes.

Am I also able to use the app or does it have to be online?

Has to be online - App will say have to call, I guess because you have to prepay and can't do so through app.
