Length of CRT breakfast?

[laughterkt]

How long does the Cinderella's Royal table breakfast usually last? or is it just as long as you want to stay? Our ADR is for 9:10. Can you get into the castle before Rope Drop and park opens or do you have to wait for that and rush over there to get to your reservation? I have never been to Disney and don't remember if there is an entrance into castle for diners that is different from park? Also, if we are doing breakfast at that time, are we going to be SO late trying to get FP's for the "good" rides?

I believe with a 9:10 reservation, you'll have to enter at rope drop. To be allowed in early, you have to have an ADR before 9:00. Of course, it never hurts to try -- there's a line off to the right for in-park breakfast entrance for the early ADRs; try checking in there.

This was the quickest TS I did in an entire week on DxDP -- about 45 minutes. We were the last to be seated at our time (we actually showed up on-time instead of early, and everyone else had already been checked in and gone on ahead). Food is served quickly, and the princesses come out in a "rush".

No one has a stopwatch on you, but I did feel a bit rushed overall.

So, figure you'll be hitting the park around 10:00 AM or so. Shouldn't be too bad -- the lines typically start really building at 11:30 or so, depending on the time of year. Grab the FPs you need and get a few of the big ticket rides done on standby before it gets too crowded.

This is assuming that it isn't a morning EMH park that day. If it is, get there for the 8:00 opening, start collecting FPs and doing rides, and then head over to breakfast.

June 2010: We had 9 a.m. breakfast ressies at every park & were allowed in early at every park except DHS (we went in at rope drop (8 a.m.) with everyone else & went to TSM for FP before heading to breakfast). At MK, AK, & EPCOT, we met with the CM with a clipboard & they checked our names off their list & let us in.

I nevered timed a meal, but I'd say they were probably an hour long. After meeting all characters we were finished eating, so we left after getting all autographs & pics. We did CRT on a Sunday morning and rode lots of rides before heading back to CR for lunch.

We had a 905am ADR for last Saturday- surprised my wife for her birthday! MK opened at 8 so rope drop wasn't an issue. The length of the meal was almost an hour. This was our 4th character breakfast(CM, CP and Cape May) and it was the best. The castle was awesome inside I have 2 boys and was worried that they wouldn't like it- I was way wrong, they had the best time! They were given swords-my wife got a princess wand- and the princesses treated them like little princes. We didn't feel rushed at all and the food was good- my wife got the stuffed French toast and it was so yummy. The only way it would've been better was if the windows weren't covered up- we had a window seat. We will defiantly do it again!
