CRT breakfast dilemma

karliebug · 05-08-2005

okay, so I called this morning-exactly 90 days out and got the breakfast for 9:00 on the day I wanted it. So why am I not thrilled?? Because park opening is at 9 on that day and we will now be eating that first hour when we could be going on rides with virtually no lines. I'm afraid that by the time we finish eating the lines will be forming. Do you think there is any way we could show up earlier than our PS, say at 8:30? Or should I try for another day at an earlier time and cancel this one? I don't want to feel as if I have to rush through my meal to get on rides.

I know exactly how you feel and I would try for another day. We are going to CRT twice during our summer trip and got 8:15 on one phone and 9:00 on the other. I wanted that magical walk up Main Street before the park opens so we kept the early time. Same thing happened the second time we called. Do you have cell phones? If so put someone else on the cell or have a good friend call for you.

I'd try for another day, karlie. There's no sense in you missing out on that first, great hour of line-less rides! Also, as DT said, that walk up an empty main street must be amazing!

karliebug · 05-08-2005

What would happen if I just showed up earlier than 9, would I have to wait until 9 or would I be seated?

bali · 05-08-2005

You never know. If they have a table available, they'll seat you, but there's no telling if that scenario will happen.

I have shown up to PSes way ahead of schedule and have gotten seats. That restaurant seats 120...your time slot and table is already accounted for. Show up at 8:30....seriously.

Cavey · 05-08-2005

CRT is SO hard to get.

I'd show up early and see what happens, but even if you're seated at 9:00 the CRT experience will be better than any one attraction. Do CRT!

karliebug · 05-09-2005

I was able to cancel the 9:00 and get one the next day for 8:25 which is better. Then If I arrive about 8 and am seated we should be able to get out by 9 to try and wake tinkerbell and for rope drop. I can almost taste that stuffed french toast. MMM!

Good for you!! I can't wait to go back to CRT, I loved it. The whole experience was just so magical.

Karlie:

I'm glad you were able to reschedule, but for anyone else that has this dilemma, I totally agree with Jeff on this one.

CRT is VERY cool and since it's so hard to obtain, personally, I think it's worth missing short lines for the first hour.

Although, an option might be to have one person in the party take everyone's tickets and get a FastPass for a nearby ride like for Winnie the Pooh, or Haunted Mansion, or Peter Pan. They won't miss anything since everyone gets served the same thing.

good! i am glad you got the time you wanted!! congrats on getting the CRT PS

EmpressJenny · 05-09-2005

I'm so glad you were able to reschedule Karlie! Have you ever done CRT before?

Cavey · 05-09-2005

Karlie, I'm happy you could rescheduled.

I'm annoyed that you got CRT twice, and I haven't gotten it once!!!!

But I don't blame you. I blame....(*checks random list*)....Cinderbella.

We solved our dilemma by reserving the new CRT character lunch, hope it's just the same like they're billing it!

karliebug · 05-10-2005

I think it may be starting to be a little easier to get now that they have a character lunch there too . When I called the second time, they actually had a later time also that I could have gotten and we have a party of 5. The trick is to call right at 7 am.
