Mad dash to Anna/Elsa after 8:05 CRT breakfast?

[pmaurer74]

I do not think you would get out in time. Be had an 8:05 at CP once and we rushed to get out of there and they let the main people in at 8:45 so we missed having the advantage plus I suggest not rushing CRT

To the poster regarding sending your husband ahead to check in for breakfast- They will ask him if you are all there/present. If you are behind taking pix somewhere he won't be able to check in.

We had an 8:10am at CP. Let into park at 7:55. Went direct to CP and checked in all together. We got in about 8:00-8:05. Told our sever we wanted to pay at start. Took care of that and then we were in first wave for characters and had seen all by 8:15/8:20 and had a leisurely breakfast. Departed 8:40 and got a few castle pics. Wandered over by carousel and saw cast members with role drOp people behind them. Was able to get in line with first people at Anna and Elsa and had maybe a 10 minute wait. Husband and boys were ahead of the pack to SDMT and got straight on. Definitely the way to go.

That's so good to know! Thank you!

It sounds like the key is to be some of the first people in the restaurant and get settled up with your bill as your order is being taken.

We did end up finding Anna/Elsa fast passes (yay!) so it won't be an issue for us - we'll probably be trying to hit up 7DMT before the crowd - it'd be cool to be on the first ride of the day . But nothing to rush the CRT experience for.

Not sure if this is on topic or if I should start another thread - but (at CRT) can you ask to be sat at the beginning of the princess route? Is it always in a certain spot or does it vary?

No idea - we definitely weren't the first to check in but we were the first of that "heat" or among the first to be seated (we had a 10:05 CRT so there was a group or probably 2 before us. It made a big difference though, because the princesses probably didn't start coming out until 15-20 minutes in.

CRystal palace on the other hand, the characters were already rotating and it was a continuous loop that they said took about 30 minutes to complete. It seemed less than that. It went pretty quickly. But that day it seemed like people were being let in way before 9. I remember thinking how glad I was that we're weren't trying to make any specific ride or m&g before the rush!!

I wonder if 8:15 ADR at BOG will give us a enough time for a jump on RD. We already have FP for A&E. It would be sweet if we could get on 7DMT & PP. then hit the rest of Fanatsyland first thing. I’m interested to hear from others who have had 8:15ish BOG ADR.

Ok, I love this idea. It seems like we usually end up waiting a while trying to gather our check and process payment at the end of our sit-down ADRs. Of course, it could just *feel* like a long time since we are anxious to get out into the park lol Either way, I think I'm going to try asking for our bill early next time. Thanks for the idea

I'm torn between the two versions of the map below.

If I include all of the attraction names, they can distract from the simplicity of seeing just the restaurants and the Princess Fairytale Hall.
If I don't include the other attraction names, many guests may not know the placement relationships when they are in the park.

So, here's both.

I hear what you're saying. I like having all the names on there. Could you emphasis the 'early morning' four in some way?
(Badly done example here )

I did see your example when you first posted it, but could not reply at that time as I was going into a meeting.
I liked what you did with the boxes around the key locations and appreciated your suggestion.
I finally remembered to come back and find this post to thank you.

My biggest problem with leaving in all of the attraction names is that they tend to cover up being able to see many of the walkways.
I may try a version with much more translucent lettering.

Thanks for your idea!
