Hey May folks!

Has anyone had experience scoring a CRT ressie at the last minute due to a cancellation? I am trying to book an early breakfast on Sun 5/22, but of course they have been full forever. Should I give up and stop driving myself crazy trying to get this golden ticket for our fam (me, DH, DD7) or is there hope if I keep at it?

If you give up, you know there is no chance you will ever get it, but if you keep trying, you might just be surprised.

Keep trying. Try several times a day. In the past I had tried at 180 days and never got one. We just put this trip together a few weeks ago when we had concrete dates for DH's R&R and I checked early in the day and found nothing (I was looking over the course of our whole trip as I would change park/day if necessary - as DH really wanted to do this for DD this year). Went back and checked later in the day and got an 8:25 AM

Here's some pixie dust :

I thought yesterday was Friday, so technically TODAY I can say I am three weeks away from the toes in the sand yada yada... I have this Thursday/Friday issue quite often.

Poly CL here I come! I'm packing tomorrow. For sure.

This weekend it's time to get the luggage out and start putting some clothes in them. Need to activate the photo-pass too. I really like that they send you one now before the trip.

I don't so much mind the weekends before the trip, but the weekdays are taking forever!

Keep trying! We had a late dinner booked at 1900 Park Fare and I was really fretting about it since we were supposed to leave a bit earlier that day to start our drive home. If we had kept that dinner reservation, we would've first been on the road at 9pm! so I tried for a breakfast time and no such luck... I tried about 3 times since and yesterday at 5pm I got one!!! I'm very excited about seeing the Mad Hatter instead of Cinderella.

I had 2 things left to buy for clothes so I checked out our local Goodwill today and found the most beautiful dress for myself & a hawaiian shirt for DH. Yay!!! DD also got her bows in the mail today. So I think we're pretty well set on the clothes aspect (maybe a nice pair of white sandals for myself yet... hmmm)

This weekend shall go by fast though. Tomorrow is an egg hunt for the kiddos & then we're off to visit my in laws one last time before our trip. With Easter coming up, I'm sure next week will fly by as well having my DS home all week

4 weeks from today!!!

Don't give up! I just got CRT two days ago for May 16 at 9:25am. Last week I was also found it for May 22nd but it was a lunch time and I wasn't too thrilled about lunch so I passed. I checked the site everytime I was online and on day it just popped up.

Growing up in Florida and then living there for part of my adult life we went to Disney World so much that around 1999 I found myself tired of it, (hard to believe I know). Finally returning there with husband, 23 year old son and my Mom on a trip from May 16th to the 23rd.

Thank goodness I found these boards as there's been so many changes with restaurants, resorts and fast passes that I would have likely been pretty frustrated with lines and such if I hadn't take a lot of time to read past and present posts here, so for all of you who supply answers to what I'm sure is many times the same questions as has been asked last year and the years before, thank you so much!

we will be there 5/22-5/28. Dont panic, just come up with a workable plan (if you are the planning type,, some arent) Are you planning any Table service ADR? If you are, I would get them first. You can currently see touring plans crowd predictors if you want the info(its free for a certain time frame)
good luck
