Just wondering if it is better to give a dining time when calling about CRT, or should I just say "anytime" (because we really don't care, we just want to get in).
My advice would be to take whatever you can get. If you get a time, make sure the CM secures it for you and THEN ask if a table is available at a particular time. Last visit, I was asking for a table of 11 and they only had one for 8. I told him to put us down for the table for 8 and then check for a table for 3 around the same time. He changed his screen without securing our table for 8 and I ended up with nothing! I was furious!!! Luckily, my brother got through and we all got in!
But, I would take anything to begin with and then maybe check for specifics!
It is probably easier to get whatever time is available to start as tink2 says and then ask for a specific time but you can also ask for a specific time and tell the CM you will take another time if that is unavailable. Good luck gettting a PS, it really is a magical breakfast.
A few of the times that I've called and gotten through I was given a choice of times. I would always go for the earlier because you're usually seated faster and then finished quicker so that gives you early access to the busy park attractions when you're done.
