Any tips on how to make our daughters Birthday special? She wanted CRT but it is booked. Trying to think of a way to make everything magical at a not so booked restaurant.
 
Have you tried Akershus? I think the breakfast is really good and the Princess interaction is nice.
 

On how short notice are you trying to book " special" ADRs? Folks book " special" restaurants about 6 months in advance.
Your best bet, on short notice, is to book what you can & order a special cake to be delivered to that restaurant.

No not on short notice I booked at 179 days. I was one day late and CRT was already gone. It was quite bazar. Our previous trips we were able to book CRT without any problems. This time the day we were looking for is sandwiched between 2 MNSSHP days.

It seems all princess meals are booked at 180 days? That's tough. I would book something nice and order a really special cake. There are some amazing cakes ( expensive) available.

Any MK recommendations???
 
I would keep looking. If you have 170+ days, you will have many chances. I've been able to change my CRT time (on a party night before party hours, no less), dropped an Akershus breakfast to get an Akershus lunch instead, and could have gotten a 1900PF last week even though I'm now 40 days out.

Panic is very premature.
 
If you are vigilant about checking regularly for cancellations, I think you have a good shot at getting CRT. I have changed my BOG reservation for next week 4 times - from breakfast, to a better breakfast time, to a lunch, and finally to the dinner I ultimately wanted.

Good luck!
 
Check all the time ,if you don't have what you want by the week before you go try harder this week people doubl book adrs and start canceling the week before good luck
 
I check every morning on the website and typically call every other day. Cast members have mentioned that a day or 2 before her day will be the best chance for a cancellation. However that won't work for getting a great cake. I think the bakers need 48-72 hours minimum.

We are also 40 days out. I have been checking regularly for months now. That is why a little panic is setting in. We need to have some kind of back up in case we can't get her CRT request.
 
Would she enjoy another character meal, like Tusker House or Chef Mickey's? Or how about a dessert party with fireworks? Or even an Illuminations cruise? Maybe even consider a princess appointment at Ivy Trellis at the Grand Floridian followed by dinner at a signature like Citrico's, Narcoosee's or Cali Grill and watching the fireworks? Or a dinner show - Hoop de doo Revue or Spirit of Aloha?

Princess related she would enjoy. We already have ADR for Tusker...
 
Cancels are out there. I have had 3 texts in 24 hours about 1900 Park Fare for October.
