Help Please! Anothe CRT issue!

[SerinaEmily]

K I just need some straight up advice, I am freaking out and don't want to do any more research.
Tomorrow is my 180 window, can you tell?? lol

Ok so first question..

Breakfast or Dinner? My schedule would be to either go on our 3rd day for dinner on my daughter's second birthday or go later in the week for the breakfast.

What are the differences between the breakfast and dinner? I need to know who's at which meal and I need some clarification about what the kids get at breakfast or dinner (parade of princesses? magic wands? picture package? help!)


Next question...
What should be my game plan for tomorrow? I start calling at 6:55 am I know, then when I get to someone can I just state the day I want my reservation at the castle for before I book all my others (because I can do them all at once right?) Will the CM understand that I'm booking for the whole 8 days but that I want to book Cindys table on day 3 first? I won't have to waste time explaining this to her will I?



And finally...
We don't have credit cards so I was going to use a friends cc to secure this. If I make it clear that we are using the dining plan credits will they put any charge at all on my friends cc?


Ok there, those are my issues I need help with. At least it's out of my head lol. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

OK first, take a deep breath.

Now, I would pick breakfast. The princesses are at the breakfast and come to the table for pictures. Dinner only has the Fairy Godmother and 2 mice that do not come to the tables. Swords, wands and wishing stars are given at breakfast, not dinner. If you can't get breakfast, everything except the food is the same at lunch, so you could try lunch. You get picture packages with all meals - dinner is the only meal where you get a lithograph of the castle.

Just tell the CM what date you want - you shouldn't have to explain much, just have a reservation number ready and what day you are checking in.

If you don't get it tomorrow, call back on the 180th day from the meal instead of arrival date. They seem to open more tables up at that time, at least they used to.

I am not sure about the CC. I know if you are on the DP, they will not charge anything to it, but not sure about using someone elses. I would call today and ask just in case.

Good luck!!

ok thank you so much thats just what i needed to know. Looks like I want the breakfast. Good thing I figured this out today and not after messing it up tomorrow. Sounds like breakfast will be more magical for the kids.
Ok off to tweak my schedule. Thanks again!

Hi...when I booked...they told me that the credit card holder had to be present at the actual meal with photo ID.
This is to stop people booking the meal then selling it on Ebay

If you have no card in your name I would book it anyway and see if you can figure out a way around it later.
Good luck And if you get a Cm on the phone who is realllly slow and useless ....hang up and try again.

I just made my 9/27 dinner ADR for CRT and they also told me that the cardholder had to be present with ID. She also took our address. Also, I wanted a 7:15 and the closest they had was 7:40. Even the CM was surprised that dinner was booking up so fast!
