Wow, no prob booking Sept. CRT bkfst today

I had my choice of three different times for table of FIVE. I considered lunch and, after 1 pm, they were wide open. I took first seating for breakfast so we'll be in Fantasyland already at 9 am - yeah! I was one of those "never gonna do it again" people, but DH suggested I see if they had any openings for that particular day - it's our anniversary - and we'll be at MK where we will have exhausted all of our other TS dining options during different days on the trip. Plus, I realized, since we're going on a grown up date later, the boys would eat CS twice in one day if I didn't book a meal. So $102 later ... whew ... we're eating at Cindy's again. For the last time. Again. No, really I mean it this time.

It's interesting the way market demand works - between the new higher prices, 2TSs and free dining, it looks like Disney has, well, made it possible for relative last-minute planners like me to have a crack at CRT, if they are willing to pay for it. I do think they will want to up capacity at some point while keeping it one of their "prestige" places to eat - wonder if the 2TS will be reduced, at least for breakfast and lunch, after free dining? I am betting we'll see some sort of change before the end of the year; what that change is I have no idea, I am sure the geniuses in Disney's marketing dept can think up something much more clever than I can possibly guess.

I called this weekend to reserve 6 days worth of dinning and didnt have a single problem on any day i wanted or the time. I was so excited after hearing that u had to call 90 and 180 days in advance. Good look to you. We will be at disney in sept as well.

The same thing happened to us, only we opted to have lunch for a little more $ since we have done CRT b'fast before. Can't wait, we are surprising my MIL by taking her near the castle and saying "Let's have lunch here!".
