That I can only book 2 weeks in advance as it is on trial. I have tried several times and the same answer every single time. I said that I knew people that had booked beyond my date. He looked on the computer and said that I was right but these bookings should never have been made.:nonono:

I am a bit fed up with it to be honest. They should have one rule for everyone. It shouldn't depend on who answers the phone.:nonono:

He did say though that no bookings had been taken so far for my date. So thats something I suppose!!

That's the one problem with Universal dining. At least with disney you know where you are, when to call etc. With US it depends on who you speak to! First person wouldn't let me book Spiderman breakfast 3 months in advance, next day I spoke to someone else and I could!

Ooh might look more into this one. We did the Spidey breakfast on our last visit in April and it was superb so this might be something a bit different! :tounge:

Yes, did the Simpsons breakfast yesterday. There was hardly anybody there and we were dancing and playing games with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Jimmy Neutron and Dora Explorer. Absolutely brilliant for interaction and we got tons and tons of time with the characters. They even sat down at our table for a good ten minutes pretending to eat our food and we had lots of fun.

The breakfast was advertised on the map we picked up and they were outside with a billboard trying to drum up business. It will be a shame if it isn't successful long term. Definitely recommended though! :)

Sounds like you had lots of fun - I can't believe they had to stand outside to drum up business though!! I would have thought that the Simpsons would be more popular than Spiderman to be honest, my son will be 12 soon and he's grown out of the superhero stage but he still loves the Simpsons - and so do I!! I'd imagine more girls would prefer the Simpsons to Spiderman too.

I reallly hope this picks up and proves to be popular - we really want to do it next year.

Thanks so much for posting. It sounds excellent!!:spin: :spin:

We have this booked for 21st Aug. I really do think if they did more advertising for it, it would be a huge success. But its simply a case of not many people knowing about it!

My boys are going to love this.:thumbs-up

We booked last Thursday for the 24th August and Patrick who we booked with said "You're calling from the UK, right?" I think that there's only Dibbers booking this and they really should advertise it a little more aggressively.
