Nervous!

[ohdisco]

I'm nervous for my ADR reserving, which is taking place on tuesday. This is the first time that anyone in my family has gone to Disney World, and we're trying to get Cinderella's Royal Table for 4 at lunch (which I'm hoping is easier to do than breakfast), and trying to get Crystal Palace for breakfast at 8, which also seems pretty popular. I need a little reassurance that I'm going to be able to get up at 3:30 in the morning, get everything ready, and be prepared to wiz through the phone prompts and be able to get my cinderella lunch!

Well lets see since today is technically Sunday (Father's Day) I would call and get the reservations now instead of at 3am the day of. That way in case you can't get them you can have a back up plan. Like when my kids wanted the Cinderella breakfast at the castle it was booked solid. So we opted for the princess breakfast at Norway. The food was great and my kids were the first into Epcot so they were honorary royalty. So just be calm and get those ressies in before they all get snatched up.

Cinderella's Royal Table is the one to worry about. I have heard of many people calling exactly at 7am on their 180 day window and NOT getting the ADR. You just have to take your chances and be flexible.

As far as Crystal Palace, it's better to make the ADR early, but it is easier to come across.

Either way, if you don't get either be persistant and call back every day. They always have spots opening up from people canceling. Good Luck!!

My brother and I would just call whenever we thought about it. Driving in the car, lunch hour, first thing in the morning... 8 weeks out... I booked it -- I was flexible - CRT anytime between this date and that date. Got 11am Breakfast - was perfect.

I am sure you will get what you are looking for and it will be perfect too.

I don't think its a hard as it used to be to get an ADR at CRT. I was able to get 2 for our trip this past May with no problem at all and I did not call at 7am, I called in the afternoon. Good luck!

We were just able to make our 180 day ADRs for our whole trip this last wed. We were able to get CRT , but we were also told that more tables open on the 180th day (as opposed to the 180+10 for resort guests). We also were up bleary eyed at 3:30. Best of luck to you! My DH and i were both calling on different lines until one of us got through. Most people thought we were nuts to be doing this, our reply "we have three DD! not going is not an option!"
If you don't get it keep trying though, people do cancel. Our last trip i called two months out and we got a table for 8! the operator i had actually started laughing that she had found a reservation!
Best of Luck! let us know if you get it!

Good luck! Like the previous poster said, I don't think CRT is that hard to get. I called at 160 days during free dining and we had our choice of times for CRT!

Somebody please tell me that I'm right in thinking a lunch CRT ADR is easier to get than breakfast.... Anybody know what time "lunch" is over, and "dinner" begins?
