For future people with the same question: As of now there is no Character Breakfast. Royal Tea and Kids’ Salon appointments begin booking as soon as the first check-in opens. (The above post stating that Royal Tea booking is not available until the “character meet” window is incorrect — at least for my cruise). The Princess Gathering (now called the Royal Gathering) doesn’t book until about 30 days out.

Considering booking a last minute cruise (after reservations for on-board activities have been open for everyone). There doesn’t appear to be any way to tell which activities still have availability prior to booking (and paying in full) for the cruise. I tried calling Disney’s booking representatives and they couldn’t provide that information. Looking at the above list, I’m not concerned with booking shore excursions, adult dining, alcohol tastings, spa treatments or nursery time. I am concerned about booking (1) Royal Tea, (2) Princess Gathering, (3) Character Breakfast, and (4) the Kids’ Salon. Can anyone confirm which of the above four are available to book far in advance (i.e., as Castaway Club check-in windows open) and which ones are locked until 30 days out? The website makes it sound like “character meetings” aren’t available for booking until 30 days out, but it’s not clear whether this includes (1)-(3), above. Thanks!
