We are traveling in Feb. and have several restaurants we want to try to make PS reservations. Whispering Canyon, CRT (breakfast), Fantasmic!, Prime Time 50's. I will be calling right at the 90 day mark in hopes of getting the CRT first. Does this mean I will have to call each day thereafter in order to hit 90 days for the others or will they be willing to do it all at once even if it's 93 or 94 days out? Otherwise, that's a lot of long distance phone calls from Vermont!!?!! Thanks!!

I believe they ar pretty strict with it. Really they should be so it is fair to everyone. I wouldn't call everyday. The only one that I would is VITAL that you call at exacty 90 days is CRT. The others that time of year aren't going to fill up as fast so you could wait until the 90 day mark of your last PS and then call and make them all unless you are dead set on a certain time. That is what I'm going to do so I only have to make 2 long distance calls!

They are VERY strict with the 90 day rule! And like Willbegone said, make sure you call first thing when the phone lines open for CRT or you will miss out. It usually "sells" out within MINUTES!!!!! I actually got through on the 4th day of trying and it was kind of like winning the lottery!!!!!!!! :D

Thanks everyone. Of course, the CRT is THE ONE!!! I will be at work at 6:00am the morning of the 90th day, so everyone will just have to BE PATIENT while I "hold for the next available CM!"

Don't start calling at 6am, you won't even be on hold. It will say that the phone lines aren't open yet and you should call back when they open at 7am EST! Soooo....I would start dialing that phone at 6:45 or so...have a few phones going (a cell and a land line) and GOOD LUCK! AS SOON AS YOU HEAR THE PHONE MESSAGE CHANGE (AND THE LINES ARE OPEN) QUICKLY WITHOUT HESITATION HIT #1 TO TALK TO SOMEONE...AND THEN YOU WILL HOLD! If you hold for more than 10 minutes without a response, chances are it's sold out! :cry: BUT GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

CRT is stressing me out so much, check out my signature, I have countdown until the day I call!!! I have dreamed about not getting it and explaining to my DD she is not eating at the castle! But if I can't get the day I want I will keep trying and rearrange my whole plan around it!

Oh Willbegone, I will cross my fingers for you. It IS very stressful! My girlfriend through work just made plans for the Grand Floridian in January (I am getting her addicted to WDW!!!) and she has never stayed onsite. She is just starting to get into Disney World, because it is all I ever talk about! She thinks it is going to be so easy to get a reservation for CRT, I had to sit her down and say "you are not just going to call whenever you want and get it...it's a big deal!" She had NO IDEA!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK...and worse comes to worse, bring your DD to the Storybook breakfast at Epcot!!! It may not be in the castle and it may not have Cinderella, but many other princesses are there which might make up for it! And you can make a separate PS for 1900 Park Fare at GF to see Cinderella, the mice, and the Fairy Godmothers!!!!!

We did 1900 Park Fare last year and loved it but she has her heart set on the castle so I'm hoping and praying she gets her wish!! Thanks for the kind words and well wishes we will need them!

It is really hard to get the reservation for CRT. When I made my reservation a while ago it was when they went from the 60 days out of 90 days. I called at 9:30 and it was still open. I was on cloud nine. I want Cindys for me not the kids.:love:

If I can chime in an addition here, I would recommend that you have your mom or someone you trust with your credit info call at the same time. When I was planning I had my mom, husband, and sister all ready to start dialing. Just make sure they know that you are staying at what resort and when you arrive there. I have heard several people say that they had success with multiple people trying. Worst case senerio you end up with two reservations and can cancel one.

Wishing you the best of luck. I know how you feel though. I was starting to loose sleep over it myself.:laugh

Willbegone--I hope you have gotten your PS at CRT. If not, and you decide to do the Storybook Breakfast, the up side is that there are several princesses there that can be difficult to find (Mulan, Pocahontas, etc.) Let us know what you get.

You have to call 90 days before the day you intend to eat at each place. They will not book it before the 90 days and their system will not accept the PS. I ususally try to call ninety days before the last day of my trip and make all of my PS's so I don't have to call more than once. If you are shooting for CRT, I would not wait at all.
