[iluvdoombuggies]

Still holding

 

[mrstomrice]

Glad to be on hold...just tried with my cell phone and got a message to try again later. Talking to a cast member right now Trying for Le Cellier on 12/25

 

[MacPhisto]

The booking engine is active online. Just booked Les Chefs de France.

 

[mindy1908]

They are up online now. No Le Cellier for dinner.

 

[Celestia]

Online is up!! Just booked online while I was on hold on the phone!

Stay on hold, but check online!!

ugh, the voice recognition on "are you here right now or in the next seven days" didn't work right away, cost me another 20 seconds right at 7:00, now i'm worried how long i'll wait! I didn't get a wait time message at all.....

 

[pequele]

glad it is working online for you guys!

I got through on the phone... yeah! 815 show on the 16th for Garden Grill (my 3 yo son loves characters not fancy stuff )

 

[mrstomrice]

Could not get 6:45 Le Cellier show...got Garden Grill at 4 pm for the 6:45 show.

It won't let me book online for Christmas Eve because 180 days isn't until tomorrow! Is that how it is over the phone as well? I can't get through. I thought CP packages were available for everyone no matter what the date?

 

[MARAJIM]

Just booked online while waiting on hold. 11/23 4:00 for the 6:45 show at Tutto. I wanted Via Napoli but I didn't know they don't take the dining plan. Please reassure me Tutto is a good choice!

The agent I spoke to yesterday to book my hotel reservations said that the CP packages don't follow the usual 180 day rule. I can't make my reservation online because I'm looking for 12/29 and my hotel reservation doesn't start until 12/27. Will this be the case on the phone too?

 

[ksromack]

I wanted Tutto Italia at around 5:15 for the 8:15 show....but the latest that was available was 4:45. That'll work! We could have gotten Teppan Edo at 5:30 but I really wanted Tutto so that is that!

I just saw online available but wow....the times for Tutto decreased dramatically! I'll be thinking happy thoughts for everyone else. This girl needs some coffee now......I think I was really stressing over this one!

 

[sjames]

Just booked mine online for Garden Grill at 4:15pm on 1st December! Woohoo!!!

First time experiencing Candlelight Processional so can't wait!

 

[mrstomrice]

I got the 4 pm dinner for the 6:45 show on Christmas day while on the phone then I found that you can book online....I switched to a 3:10 dinner. I asked the CM if 4 pm was enough time to eat and get to the show and she said yes. I wanted to play it safe and leave enough time to eat a relaxed dinner and not have to rush over to the show. Relief!

Does anyone know the prices for this year? Specifically lunch at Biergarten?

 

[DVC Jen]

We got Christmas Eve - we got Le Cellier but the ONLY time available to dine was noon and it was for the 5pm show. Not ideal but I took it!

 

[Drawn That Way]

I got both reservations! For NPH, we are going to dine at Les Chefs de France and see the 6:45 PM show and for Whoopi, we are going to dine at Tutto Italia and see the 8:15 PM show. I got exactly what I wanted and when I wanted it. I am so happy right now.

Side note: Just before the agent picked up, I found that the CP packages were available online, however, the times were not loaded correctly and availability was totally messed up. I am so glad that I did not have to wait long on the phone.

Does anyone know the prices for this year? Specifically lunch at Biergarten?

I have a lunch CP booked, also. I'm curious, too. Last year, it was $32.99.

 

[MondaysChild]

Hooray Coral Reef for Christmas Eve!! Just what we hoped for!!

Stressful though...ended up getting the reservation online while waiting on hold. If this is the most stressful part of my day, it's going to be a great day!!

 

[kltigger]

Yeah, 14 minutes on hold (started at 7:05AM). Looked on-line while waiting and could have booked on line, but wanted to see if there were other times available and there were when the operator looked. Got 4PM for 6:45 show at Biergarten; husband wanted this as 1st choice.

Now back to bed for a little while (been up since 5:45AM) - we're on vacation.
