Two quick questions...

[mkingdon]

Now we are in 2003, I no longer have to talk about going to WDW "next year"!!!!! It's now THIS YEAR

Anyway, whilst I'm obsessing over the planning I have 2 quick questions

1. The 30 day florida sun ticket seems superb. Is it wise to buy now in case it dissapears later (we don't go till August)
2. Has the new Credit card deposit made it easier to get a Cinderella breakfast PS?

Thanks is advance

In answer to your first question, it might be a good idea to e-mail Paramount to find out - use the links on the 30 Day pass thread.
My only concern would be if for any unforseeable reason you had to cancel/postpone the trip if the passes expire before you can use them.

To be honest, a CC deposit has not made it that much easier to get a Cindy's - you will still need to phone on the dot of 12 noon (7.00am EST) 60 days out in order to book.

Also on the Cindy's fron just wanted to add that you should start ringing 2 mins before and make sure that you check say on your computer the official EST then press autodial until you get through on getting through to a CM, as soon as they start speaking just interrupt by saying "cindys for breakfast please". Most CM's know that this is a key PS and so will just look for a table straight away before asking for DOB's and ages of children etc.

I was going to try to get a ps for Cinderella breakfast but when I saw what you had to go through I thought it wasnt worth the hassle THEN still not get it,Easier to get home seats for an Arsenal v Tottenham derby!!!

Ian - you should make the call anytime you never know someone may have cancelled and then you wouldn't have gone to that much effort anyway, it really doesn't have to be so anal.

However when I rang the one time (Yes Ok I did start ringing a minute before hand and then put it on autodial - I've done that to get tickets before over here and then been put on a q'ing system for 5 minutes) the call got answered very quickly I went straight through to Dining PS and then said to my CM "Cindy's for breakfast please", there was availability, I gave my credit card number and I was off very quickly.

I guess it really depends on how much one really wants to eat breakfast at Cindys.

I went with 3 girlfriends and we had a great time - the food was really good and you could order more of anything should you want it. All the characters came over to see us, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Mary Poppins, Snow White (she'd even heard of DIS) and Belle.

I loved seeing all the little girls dressing up and the Fairy Godmother was just great with all the children even the boys who "really didn't want to be there" LOL

We even saw Hook and Peter Pan run past the windows twice...it was a great experience and I think even my DBF Paul would enjoy going........word of warning don't go if you're the feeling broody type....it'll send you over the edge

That's a serious tip Kaylee..... I needed a stiff drink after that place and you know that's impossible to come by in the MK......I'm not the broody type but they all looked just so fabulous and sweet and like little darlings and I wanted to be dressed up as well and have a Cinderella wig an' all............BUT THEN....... I remembered lots of self indulgent holidays a year to WDW or have "ickle" babies....... self indulgent won it over for me LOL

I would advise anyone to at least attempt to book Cinderella's,

I got through 1st time to book for Dec 2001 and my wife recently, also, got through and booked for Feb 2003. We may be extremely luckly on the ps front, or is it really that difficult??
