Need Storybook Bkfst for 11/2, anyone?

Just thought it was worth a try to post this. I didn't realize that the Princess Storybook breakfast has become almost as hard to get as the castle. I called exactly 7 a.m. yesterday and was on hold for 40 minutes. We have a group of 5 families and we are trying to have all of our little princesses have breakfast together that morning. I was on old for 40 minutes on both the group dining number and the regular number. When I finally got through to group dining, the CM said, you need to call at 7 a.m. to get this. I said, I did and the phones were busy. She said they were sitting there waiting for calls. So I'm kind of annoyed that it sounds like I should have gotten through to someone. Anyway, 2 families got their reservations so I'm just going to keep calling every day to try to get the other 2 families (a group of 6 anda group of 4) so they can join us. If anyone has any info or cancellations for that morning (Nov 2nd, we have 9:50 seating), I would very much appreciate a heads up. Thanks!

I would say to keep trying. Maybe consider taking whatever # of seats are available. Once you get the the restaurant they will do their best to seat you together.

I made a PS for myself and our 2 DDs, within less than 1 month of our date. I wanted to change the date and add my son, so I was able to book a PS(less than 2 weeks out) for 4 people, and cancell our original PS. Since we knew it was going to be hard to get PS for 7(our whole family), we decided it was for the girls and I would take them and DH would take the boys on the thrill rides at Epcot. My oldest doesn't like the thrill rides and I could use the extra hand - watching little DD while I was taking pictures.

So, maybe you could make this a mother/daughter breakfast and let the boys hit Test Track.

The PSB breakfast was awesome. The princesses are so nice and my DDs love it. With all the excitment they didn't eat much, but we were going for the experience anyways.

Good luck.

I think you should keep calling. I've had great success even not calling at 7:00a for PS and even calling a few days later to change the time!

I just called this morning for 11/3 and got exactly what I wanted and I was on hold for 40 minutes!

Maybe you just got a grouchy CM who somehow missed tables or was looking at CRT????

Good luck.

Hmm... I was glad to read that I am not the only one who had trouble with trying to get a PS for the Storybook Breakfast.
I also was on hold this morning for 45 min for 11/4 and had to split up our party of 5... will my daughters grandparents really have to sit at a seperate table?
I called back after 11 am and they told me it was sold out... but was able to offer me other days of the week that we are there.

I was on hold this mornig for 52 min. and PSB was sold out by the time I got through. Glad to see others have had luck. It gives me hope that we (it is only me, DH, and DD) will get in. This is DD's (4) first trip and she love the princess.
If any one has some spare Pixi Dust, sprinkle it my way in hopes we get to eat with the princesses!!

I was on hold for 55 minutes yesterday trying to get PS for November 3. I had written off CRT after last year just because I figured this one would be easier to get. Boy, was I wrong. All booked up and the cm also told me to try calling right at 6:00. I had.
Oh well, guess I'll just check everyday until something opens up. Good luck to us all

Well, today was my LUCKY day! I was able to get through from using the 1 + 1 and since there seems to be this slight delay after pressing the 1's it confused me when I heard the beginning of "due to the high volume of calls"... then a woman talking... so I said " Is this a live person?" to which she replied "For Cindy's breakfast... how many... don't stop to talk to me" LOL I said "No, I need the Storybook Breakfast in Epcot please".... and we both laughed. Has anyone the cast member Harriet Lucille? She was GREAT!

So, we have our Storybook Breakfast for 11/4 at 8:50 am.

I did cancel our reservation for the morning before (11/3) where they were spliting up our party... so someone might want to check and see if it's available... it was for 8:40 am.
