Wow- was I just lucky?

Well, we decided to hit the parks after our cruise in August, 24th-28th. So we were picking restaurants, and DD(12) decides she wants to still go to the Princess breakfast.Who woulda thought? Off course we have not been since last year, and I was thinking, well we can't make ressie's until 90 days out. But then - low and behold, I read the board, and you know the rest - you can make them 180 days out. YIKES !!!!

So I call first thing, and had my pick of times!!!

Booked lunch at the castle - as well as dinner for DS(6) birthday at SciFi (his choice, not mine)

I am ready to leave now!!!

Any thoughts on whether the princess meals are easier to get now, or was I just lucky?

It's because the price has gone up so ridiculously. I suspect they'll still sell out, just not as quickly as in the past.

The end of August is less of a peak time for WDW.

And lunch at CRT has never been as popular as breakfast is.

I had a similar experience earlier this week when I made ADRs for 8/18. I got ADRs for both PSB and CRT breakfast. I was shocked because I knew I was long overdue for making reservations (this was an impulse vacation so there wasn't much planning prior to the decision to go).

I ended up giving up the CRT because it really isn't worth it for us anymore. DD really loves Cinderella and she just wouldn't be satisfied seeing her in the lobby and getting a photo. We had a great time with Cindy at Park Fare last year and just a drive-by won't do it anymore.
