question for you experts about cindys

[tinkandhook]

hi! I got ps today for 8:50 on july 14, 2004...YEAH!!!! on my first try even. 2 adults & 5 kids..2 w/ BDAYS!!!
my question is the lady told me this was before the parks open, and i need to give the tranportation authority my confirmation number. Can anyone give me advice on this? She said you have to be at the podium 5 minutes before your ps time. This will be our first trip to Disney world , so i am unsure where everything is....
I appreciate any help you guys can give me...
and thanks for all the wonderful advice...my 3 princesses are going to be in heaven...my DD6 already has her tinkerbell costume ready to go...lol

Congrats -- I am sure you'll love it!

All of our PS for Cindy's have been before the park opened, and we have not encountered any problems. We always caught a 7 am bus from our resort and were there at the turnstyles in plenty of time. You check in the turnstyles and they let you in at 8 am or close to it.

We have never had to provide our PS to transportation -- that is a new one on me.

Enjoy your visit and be sure to scarf up the blueberry stuffed french toast -- it's wonderful!

Oh, and just one other tip -- when you take pics, make sure not to have the windows in the background it -- they can really mess up a pic! I have some pics at:

What she said - bus will be available early, never had to give them the confirm number, at the park, they let you in early if you have a PS, but you do have to provide the name (and confirm number if you have it) at the gate to be able to get in (maybe that is what the CM met about the confirm number).

An early breakfast res is one of my favorite things at WDW because you get to walk up Main Street to the castle without too many other people around (just those who also have early PS). It's great fun to be there without the hordes of people (even though nothing is open).

The previous posters are correct, you will only need the confirmation #s at the gate/turnstiles @ MK that morning. Be sure to go early enough to take advantage of picture taking on Main St. USA without the crowds. We have found some of our best photos are on the mornings we entered the park for Cindy's breakfast before the official park opening. The shop fronts provide a perfect backdrop and the little nooks and crannies along Main St. are wonderful photo ops. Getting a shot of the castle without the crowds is priceless. Enjoy your meal there. Your little princesses will LOVE IT!!!! Make some special memories!!!
