Split up party of 10 in order to get CRT breakfast res??

[nicleigh84]

HI,
I am able to make my ADRs tomorrow morning. The main one I am shooting for is breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table. I have a party of 10. Playing around on the site just now showed me that there are no breakfast reservations for dates close to my trip for parties this big. The first reservation I found available was for a party of 4.
Would you suggest I start off at 6 am tomorrow trying for a res for 10? Or should I start by breaking it up and trying to get two reservations of 5??
Any thoughts or tips! Can't believe how stressed I am on this! Help.

I had to make a reservation for 9 for CRT a couple months ago. I also asked questions here and I didn't get any answers from someone who actually made a reservation for a larger party, just some tips/tricks/advice. I was doing test runs and never found a table for 9 on any day at any time. I was able to find several for 8 so I am thinking they just don't have tables for 9 or more?? I was up at 6am and played around with the different ways to split us up. It was hard because the party is me, hubby and my sister/hubby and their 5 kids (one is an infant). I got a table for 6 and tried to do the other table for 3 but because I already had a reservation for that time, I couldn't make another one online. I had to wait til 7 am to call and they were able to get me a table for 3 for the same time. I asked if they could add a note to put us close together but they said they couldn't. The exact response was "well we are Disney and we do anything to make our customers happy." It was suggested that if we are at MK before our reservation to swing by and let them know but I can't do that as our adr is pre park opening and is on our first park day. Sorry this is long but hope it helps!

ETA: it might be easier to split it 6 and 4 rather than 5 and 5

We are a party of 12 and I split us up as 6+6 for ADR's when I couldn't get 12. CRT is a relatively small dining room so it did not surprise me to have to split up there. I have no idea if they can accommodate parties of 10+ but we did have to split them up. I made one ADR in my MDE and I made the other in my mom's MDE. I learned that one the hard way too, that I couldn't make both in my MDE.

ETA - I would try for 10 first - it never hurts! But I'd have your back up ready - I do think 6+4 might be easier to get. Good luck!

You may get more answers if you post this question on the Restaurants Forum rather than here on the Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies forum.
Good Luck

We were a party of 8 on our May trip and had no trouble combining our 4+4 CRT reservations (or any other split reservations we made, which was basically all of them). We will be a party of 11 in Oct and have another split reservation. You may have to wait a little longer to be seated. If you have concerns, maybe you could get a note on the reservation that you are part of a larger party that needs to be combined, just to give the CMs a heads up.

I had a party of 9. I booked a table for 4 around 8:25am and table for 5 around 8:40am. We arrived around 8:15am and checked in. We asked to seat our two parties together and they were able to accommodate us. We didn't have to wait. They ushered us right in to meet Cinderella and then to our table for 9. I can't remember the exact times, but they were right around there.

This information has all been so helpful. I will attempt to secure a table for 6 and then I have my cousin on deck to book the other half of our party. Thanks everyone!
