My daughter read something awhile back about waking tink. She would really love to do this! What are the chances of actually being the one to wake her? I dont want the 1st thing we try to do in MK to be disappointing or a compepition I havent been to WDW in 3 years, I dont even know where the shop is located. Help please

The shop is right past the castle "tinkerbelles treasures" on the left, if you get to the park right b4 park opening and go through the turnstiles on the far left, you can walk quickly to the store and most likely be the first one in and ask right away. We did that 2 years ago and it worked. Be sure to be in the front of the line to the entrance of the park. good luck! The child gets a certificate with her name on it, very sweet!

My grandchildren did this last Feb. We had breakfast at CRT and were the first into Tink's store. They enjoyed it.

If you are the first people in AND YOU ASK!! (very important part, there!), you can ask to wake Tinkerbell. They give your child a wand, they tap a box, and Tink "wakes" up. In other words, it "sends" out the light and sound of tink that jumps around the shop all day long. Then they give your child a certificate that they "woke" Tinkerbell that day.

We did this two years ago - walked into the shop 20 minutes after opening, and it hadn't been done yet. But from what I've heard it's gotten to be a "must" thing for so many people to do, that it's started to be a big competition. I guess people rush over there to be the first ones into the store. We won't try it again since we've already done it once, and it's over before you know it!

I would think that people who have a very early ADR at CRT would have a good chance at being first in line at Tinkerbell's Treasures....try that! We have 4 boys, so will probably never try to get an ADR at CRT, however....I did bring them into Tink's store early one morning (no one was in there)....Tink was already woken up but I had the boys look through the keyhole of the drawer (near the front door) so they could see Tink's light flash every now and then, and see the sparkly lights (Tink) flying around the top of the store. They thought that was neat. Then they saw her fly out of the castle during wishes...that was cool too. Now my 3 year old son loves Tinkerbell
