Quick CRT question

[nana_b]

Can we eat lunch at Cinderella's Castle without reservations? We will be at MK with 3 girls (8,6,4) on May 3rd and I think just the atmosphere (without even seeing the princesses) will be fascinating for them -

If we can eat there without reservations do you have any tips or suggestions for us? (best time...)

Thanks so much!!

You will Absolutely need Priority Seatings. Even without the princesses not being at lunch yet the Castle is still hard to get into. PS are available 90 days out. I would start calling immediately to see if any one has cancelled? Good Luck!

I've been calling to try and get a ps at crt for dinner in June and they are all booked up.

CRT is a PS must restaurant even without the princesses. Why? Because it's a very small space and not a lot of tables, which means they can accomodate only a small amount of people at one time.

Try calling again or try calling the day before and try calling the morning of. Just maybe someone cancelled. The key is flexibility - if you're willing to be flexible on the times, you'll have a better chance of getting a PS.

You MUST have a reservation to eat there. You can wait hours to eat in the castle but still not get in. If you call to get a PS take whatever time is avaliable, because it is a great experience!!

It's not likely you will be able to, they often don't take walk-ups at all, but you are more than welcome to try once there. You can even call each day to see if they have openings, or stop by when at the MK.

Since a PS for dinner or lunch don't require a deposit or anything, I'd go ahead and try to make one so you at least know you have one spot, if you can get a PS there at this point at all... going that early in May you might still be able to.

CRT is a popular place to be, with or without princesses, but I do think your girls would love it!

I called this morning (4/8) and got a lunch seating for 7 on May 3rd. Talked to a wonderful agent (Katie Jean) who took care of the call with a great warm personality and asked if there was anything else she could do... I was so surprised that we got the lunch PS that my mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything!!!

Thanks all - Wishes do come true

So glad to hear that you got in at CRT!!!

May 3rd should be an excellent day to visit MK... It should be a slower day in the busy madhouse of the opening of the big Celebration!!!

We too will be at MK on May3rd and May4th... I made our PS for lunch at Cinderella's Castle for the 4th. And then we will make sure to stake out a great spot for Cinderellabration. A wonderful way to kind of piece together the 'magic' of Cinderella!!! I got some very elegant looking stationery, and printed an 'invitation' for my child... Using a very fancy type-font. This, and the outer envelope, were sealed with beautiful, sparkley, Cinderella stickers that I had picked up here in town. And then it was received in the mail! We will take this with us and present it to the CM as we check-in for our PS.

example:

To: your childs name(s)

By Order of the Royal Family

In honor of Cinderella's Royal Coronation,
You are cordially invited to have lunch at Cinderella's Castle
at One O'clock p.m.
on Tuesday May the 3rd, 2005

etc...
etc...

Hi Wishin'
What a great idea to "formally" invite the guests of honor. I was going to keep it a secret until lunchtime but now I might just have to add your special touch and build up even more excitement!

Thanks for the great idea

That was a great suggestion. My best friend is going with my family in June. I think I will do that for her, she would get a kick out of it. Come to think of it, so would my 11 yo DD.
