Which should I cancel?

[NewsiesGoil]

On a whim I decided to see if there were any early Crystal Palace breakfast reservations on the day I already have a dinner (4:25) scheduled. I scored a breakfast time of 8:20! We're planning on attending MNSSHP that day (9/28), so what do you guys think? Should I cancel the breakfast or the early dinner?

Cancel dinner, the last time we went was the LAST time we will ever have dinner there again...it was so salty it was inedible and the noise level is pretty bad.

Breakfast there is awesome, totally worth waking up early for

We like the dinner there. I'm sure the breakfast is great too. I would drop the breakfast. Getting there for 8:20 is going to require an early wake-up time and with doing the party that night is going to make for a really long day. I would sleep in that morning and enjoy the evening.

Breakfast is amazing at Crystal Palace so that's the one I would keep. If you're worried about getting too tired by the end of the day to enjoy the party then take a break in the afternoon, go back to your hotel and take a nap.

It's great to be at CP before the park opens! I love walking down Main Street, feeling like we have it (almost) to ourselves

As a PP stated, you can go back for a swim/nap/break if you think the day might get too long.

Have fun!

Breakfast is the bomb there!!

The only thing I would suggest is that if it's a MNSSHP night, the characters might be in their halloween costumes. Does anyone know if this is true? I know that the Pooh characters appear during MNSSHP in their costumes, but I'm not sure if they have them on at CP. If they do, it might be a good way to get special pictures!

I'd drop the breakfast on a day of going to MNSSHP. Sleep in and don't even come to MK until just before dinner. That way you'll be ready to stay there for all of MNSSHP.

I'd add: I'd drop the dinner there, too. CP just doesn't appeal to me in the least.

I agree. Drop the dinner & do breakfast. We got one of our best pics ever before a CP breakfast & before the MK was open. As we walked down Main Street, Minnie Mouse came out from behind the castle, & we had her all to ourselves for several minutes.

CP breakfast was our favorite meal on our last trip!

We had a CP ADR for a night of P&PP and I wondered if the characters would be dressed special for that. They weren't.

I've never tried breakfast, but from experience, I didn't care to have set plans for dinner the night of our P&PP. Better to wing what happens that afternoon/evening. I'd keep breakfast.

I'd keep the breakfast.

Reasons:

1.An empty park when you get there..awesome photo time.

2. For supper that time is too early.

3. I'd just grab a quick supper at CS right before the MNSSHP starts so not to waste time.

i'd drop dinner and keep breakfast.

 

[2Tiggies]

I'd keep the breakfast, get some great pics, cram in as many attractions as possible until midday and then go back to the resort for a rest until around 4 pm.

 

[NewsiesGoil]

So, the consensus seems to be to cancel the dinner! Everyone has made really good points and I'm getting excited about possibly getting some great pictures in a nearly empty park! Touring til 1 PM, taking a nap, and coming back for around 4 in our costumes sounds pretty doable!

 

[Atchley]

I'd keep breakfast. Better to do CS at the party so you have more time to

 

[Bridget375]

I would drop the dinner, we love breakfast there.

 

[CityGirlLost]

Count me among those who vote for keeping breakfast. The empty park photo ops alone are worth it!

Have breakfast, cancel dinner!
