Is it possible to walk in to crystal palace?

[Blurrysmom]

Has anyone successfully done this? We must booked a last-minute junket for early June and I can't get a ressie for CP. Pooh is DS's best buddy, so we'd like to get in there if we can. Any tips would be appreciated!

Anything is possible, but I'd guess it is highly unlikely since:
1 - it's already booked
2 - it's in a park
3 - it's a character meal.

You can try but I would definitely have an alternate plan for dining.

Your only chance, really, is to call daily in case there has been a cancellation. Good luck!

Just keep checking daily, multiple times a day. One might open up.. then just be flexible on date/time

we go in 1 week and i just got a reservation this morning, so keep trying!

Last year, we had a last-minute day trip to WDW, so we had no dining reservations. We walked up to CP around 3:00 and got in for a late lunch/early dinner. We did have to wait a long time (45 min), but DH took the kids to the shops and to watch some movies at Casey's on Main Street while I waited. Keep trying to make a reservation. If you don't have any luck, check in w/ CP when you get there. If they say no for one meal, try again little later. You never know when the pixie dust will come your way!

Have a great trip!

We did. I don't even think we waited all that long...30 or 40 minutes, maybe. So, yes, it is definitely possible, you just may need to wait a bit.

Just in the last 5 minutes pulled up a breakfast reservation there for June 10th. Didn't take it, but it might still be there.

Thanks for the tip, Jules. Wish I saw it at the right time. I've been calling and randomly checking online when I have a chance throughout the day. I'll keep at it. In the meantime, we have a res at Hollywood and Vine, and DS loves OSO and Handy Manny, so that will be adequate if we can't get the CP.

Wish it would have worked out for you. Keep checking, I got Crystal Palace 2 days ago for an 8:05 breakfast for June 4th. 45 minutes before, there wasn't anything for MK available.

Just saw a Crystal Palace reservation for 6/5 8:05 AM in the past 2 minutes. Fruitlessly trying for CRT breakfast here.

I've never been able to walk in. Best bet is to call everyday and hope to catch a cancellation. Good Luck!!

I sent you a PM. I am cancelling CP breakfast if you are interested, else will post on June ADR board this evening.

You could try 1900 Park Fare breakfast for Pooh (also Mad Hatter, Alice, Mary Poppins)

We walked up for breakfast in June and dinner in April. We got right in for breakfast and had about a 20 minute wait for dinner. Maybe we're just lucky!
