PSB as hard to get as CRT used to be?

[JMCDisneyBound]

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced any difficulties in getting ADR for the PSB at Akershus in Norway( Epcot) now that CRT is 2 TS credits on Dining plan and price increased. I haven't tried yet (my 180 days out isn't until May) but thought I'd see if it's popularity has reached CRT level yet. Thanks!

I made all my ADR's a couple of weeks ago for our trip in June.

I didn't have any problem getting a breakfast ADR at PSB & had my choice of times on the day I requested (a Monday).

In fact, I didn't have any problem getting a lunch ADR at CRT either on the day I needed (a Saturday).

Of course, as word gets out regarding the changes at CRT, this may change, and PSB may, in fact, be harder to get. After the initial reviews come out for the new CRT, I may cancel (especially if Cinderella is the only princess there).

After I got off the phone, I had to giggle a bit at the CM who took my ADR's - she was shocked that I was able to get an ADR for CRT. I wasn't even calling at 7:00 am - more like 7:00 pm! She said something like, "Oh, it's so nice to be able to tell someone 'Yes' for CRT; I've been on the phone all day telling people 'No' who are trying to make ADR's for January." And, then I said, "Well, it probably has something to do w/ CRT going to 2 TS credits." She looked at her computer & said, "Oh, you're right. It is. I didn't know that."

The only one that I breathed a sigh of relief over was dinner at Chef Mickey's. When I called, there were only 2 times available for the night I wanted (a Monday night).

I have been debating cancelling our reservations for CRT also in April...like you said with only Cinderella there it kinda stinks. But then I keep telling myself to eat once in the castle is a treat...and I know that my girls (well the older one) will think that it is cool.

We were down in Dec, and they had already switched to the "new" format. All princesses are there. Now instead of the godmother in the lobby, it is Cinderella, and then all the other princesses rotate upstairs.

It's been several princesses at breakfast and lunch since last Spring. Dinner only had either Fairy Godmother or Cinderella downstairs with no characters upstairs.

Last Nov/Dec, they already started the changes that are going to happen February 1. They already had Cinderella downstairs for photos (that will be free February 1, but are $30 now) for the photo package.

Starting February 1, the Princesses will remain for breakfast and lunch just like last year and Cinderella will always be downstairs for all three meals and then new February 1, Fairy Godmother will be upstairs for dinner to help guests celebrate any special occasions.

One thing that we do not know yet, until people start reporting back, is the menu for lunch and dinner and whether it will change or not.

My guess is that PSB will become more popular due to the price increase at CRT BUT because it is 3 meals a day and the food isn't that great, it will still not be as hard as CRT breakfast was (selling out in 2 minutes at 7:00a).

CRT already isn't as hard to get as it once was due to the changes.
