So, you want to have breakfast with Cinderella. You have heard that its nearly impossible to get that priority seating. Here are some helpful tips in helping you make that breakfast come true.

1. Determine the date that you can make your Cindy's reservation. Go to http://www.pscalculator.net/ and verify the earliest calling date for the dates that you can attend (60 days prior). Remember -- there is a VERY good chance that you will be unsuccessful if you only try once. So plan on getting a Priority Seating for early in your trip and if you get it, WONDERFUL. If you don't, you can still try the next morning.

2. You should only make reservations using the (407) 939-3463 number. If you choose to use the Disney Club toll free number, listen for the answer, and then press option three. This can put you up to 12 seconds behind, so its better to use the 407 number.

3. Synchronize your clock. Go to http://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java for the most up to date time.

4. Begin calling at about 6:57AM Eastern time.

There are two possible greetings:

4a. Thank you for calling the Disney Reservation Center. Our office is closed... (hang up immediately as soon as you hear the words "Our office" and hit redial immediately).

or

4b. Thank you for calling the Disney reservation center (pause). You're in and on hold! Wait! Do NOT hang up or you will lose any chance of a priority seating!

5. Once you have heard 4a, hang up and redial. Time your redial. Hang up and time the redial again. Know how long it takes from hitting redial to connection. If you only hear "dead" air for about 5 seconds after you dial, hang up and call again.

6.Plan on calling 10-15 times during this three minute period. The range seems to be picking up between 6:58:30AM and 6:59:45AM (All Eastern Standard Times).

7. Upon speaking to a "live person," as quickly as possible, interrupt your Cast member who answered the phone and say: Cindy's, Date, anytime. Believe me, they KNOW why you are calling at 7am

8. Be sure to write down your time and Priority seating number. If your Priority Seating is before the park opening, you'll have to present your Priority seating number to get into the park.

9. If you are not successful, try calling at 30 days before you want to eat there, and also try going to the Castle 2 days prior to when you want to eat there.

10. Still unsuccessful? Try walking up. Sometimes you can even get lucky that way.
