Which ADR to choose at CRT?

[lynzi2004]

We are heading to Disney at the end of the April. I have two ADRs scheduled at CRT but I'm unsure of which one to keep. The first one is at 9:30 AM on Saturday, our first day. I like that my kids 2 and 4 would be in good moods, but am I giving up precious early touring time? The second is at 9:30 PM on a Monday night. I'm a little worried that my kids might be tired by then. But it would be a great grand finale on our trip and they would get to see the fireworks from inside the castle? Thoughts anyone?

Neither sounds great. Keep watching for another cancellation. Because it is prepaid, people do cancel.

When I first looked for a time on our last trip, all that was open was 11 PM. I switched that time several times before I ended up with a nice early diner time, exactly what I wanted.

I haven't been to breakfast so I can't speak to that, but we had dinner there on our last trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing to note is that we were seated quite a bit after our ADR, which I believe was 1 hour and 15 min before Wishes. We weren't seated until 45 min before Wishes, and since it was some of our group's first trip, we had hoped to watch Wishes outside instead of inside the castle. However, the service was incredible in accommodating us- they let us leave the restaurant to watch Wishes outside, and then we came back and our dessert was waiting for us. It really was a spectacular experience, and it was actually fun coming back at a later time because the restaurant was quieter and quite relaxing (something I did not expect from CRT!)

I agree that neither is ideal, but if I kept one, it would be the breakfast ADR. I cannot imagine two little kids having to wait til 9:30 for dinner. And that is not eating....that is hopefully just getting inside. You will nto get out til after 11PM, and that is a conservative estimate.
