Help! Could not get Cindy's res this morning. Very Bummed!

[Katiebug]

Hi all,

I got up at 6am (central time) this morning and promptly called WDW-DINE to try to make reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table for our stay in May. I got through at 5:58am and was put on hold. Then I had my husband call on our cell phone too. He also got through too but was put on hold. His call was answered first, but by that time it was 6:04am and the breakfast was already sold out.

Should I have left one phone on hold and continued to try dialing on the other line? I am very discouraged. This is the second trip in a row that I am unsuccessful at getting these reservations. Last year we went to the Princess breakfast at Epcot which was good, but it's in a horrible location - very hard to get to on time. My two dd's enjoyed themselves but really want to see Cinderella!

Should I just give up or continue to get up at 6am for two more days?

Help please!

Thanks,
Jennifer

Keep trying. Call every day for cancellations. They do have them because I got a table for 6 that way. Best of luck!!

If your children want to see Cinderella, you may want to consider the character dinner at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. The characters include Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother and Suzy and Perla.

Any luck this morning?

If you can't get a PS at 7:00am, call back @7:15-7:30. If several people called for one group and were able to get 2 or more PS, they will have to cancel the ones they don't need.

Definately keep trying if you have more days in your trip 60 days out! I hang up if I get the hold message and try back - good luck.

I have read where others had luck on cancellations 1/2 hour after opening and in the evening. If you have to call for anything else at any time it dosen't hurt to check then. Have the CM check all the days of your trip. They have also extended the breakfast hours so maybe that will help.

Why not try for the Cinderella Dinner at 1900 park fare - you should be able to make a ps now for any of your days. If you don't get the breakfast, have the dinner and if you get lucky with the breakfast than you can either do both or cancel the dinner.

If all else fails head to toontown at its rope drop 10am I think and see Cinderella at the judges tent.

We have been able to get a PS for Cindy's for each of our trips, but and this is a big but....you need to be flexable. Last year I called three different mornings before I got it and I had to say I would except two tables because we were a party of 6, but when we got there they put us at one table. So keep trying just be flexible.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. I finally got through this morning and have reservations for 9am on 5/21!!

I guess three times is a charm. I am so happy because this is our very last full day there.

I couldn't believe it when the CM actually came on the line before 6:05am and then said they had openings. I actually wanted to cry because this has been so stressful.

I know it will be worth is when my dd's see Cinderella!

Thanks again,

Jennifer
