Questions for MK character breakfast attendees ...

[alleghator]

We have an 8:15am ressie for CRT and an 8:05 ressie for the Crystal Palace breakfast two days later (both next March).

OK ... what time should I expect to be out of the meals? What time should I try to arrive at the park to allow entry and walking time to get to the meals?

Thanks!

Anything I'm forgetting to ask??? Please let me know anything and everything!

I am curious about this as well. We have an ADR for Crystal Palace at 8:05 one morning in December and Cindy's breakfast at 8:10 a few days later.

Being totally dependant on Disney transportation, do we take a bus directly from POFQ to the Magic Kingdom or to the TTC and then transfer to monorail?

There will be buses running early just for the purpose of those early morning meals!!! I believe they start around 7ish. When you get to MK, there is a seperate entrance line for those with ADRs. It is usually over to the far left. When I have used it, there was a CM with names on a list that they checked before you entered. So, if you are going to CRT, I would get to MK by 7:30. Same for CP. It is just so darn nice to wander on Main St. without a ton of people that you sometimes forget about the time. Better early than late.
As far as how long you'll be in the restuarant....a lot depends on your family's eating 'style' and how the characters are. I usually plan about an hour.

We had a ressie at 8:10 for CP in July. We were at the POP bus stop by 7:30 and still arrived late to the MK. We got to the CP at 8:20 - had to wait in a line to check in, then wait about 10 minutes to be seated. At least since its a buffet, we were able to eat right away. But when we were done eating, we actually had to sit and wait for Pooh to come around to our table. So, we didn't get out of there by park opening at 9:00 like we had planned, but we still headed over to FL and did most of the attractions there with little wait. so, my advice is, give yourself more time to get there then you think you will need. Also, go see Piglet right away - the line builds up after a short while (he stands by the buffet, the other characters circulate in the dining area).
