Whew, got all that I wanted!

Do you know if they're doing reserved seating (sweet seats) for the 3d dessert party? I think I got an "approximately 15 minute" wait time when I got through right at 7, but who knows. I'm at that wait already and still holding.

Since I wasn't interested in booking any of the events she told me wecould book I didn't ask about the reserved seating for the parties.

/There is a person above this post who just booked Party for the Senses.

I just booked PFTS RESERVED seating for 10.26 and Sweet Sundays for 10.27. CM said I could book anything I wanted. Game on! Good Luck!

I wonder if they taking reservations for PFTS reserved seating and Wine view today, too?

I'm on hold too. Are we supposed to hit 1 for reservations or 3 for special dining events? Just want to be sure I'm in the "right" queue

My husband and I were doing this at the same time. I was about 2 seconds ahead of him and got through. He didn't. He was also told the wait time in Spanish, and didn't push the Spanish button. I booked 5 demonstrations and he was still on hold. I was able to get
10/17 2pm wine Lasseter
10/17 5pm culinary Jamey Fader
10/18 1pm culinary Suichi Tandea
10/19 1pm culinary Hearty Boys
10/19 5pm Gale Gand

We did not try to book any of the other ticketed events. I am very happy!!! Good luck to everyone.

I just book the French Parisian Breakfast and the Italian Regional Luncheon. Did you tell them that you were booking with a Disney Visa?

Yes I did. I'm back on hold now.

 

[ems_mom]

Got right in at 7am. Took the agent a while to "find" it (with help from a supervisor) but eventually booked reserved seating PFTS and a French Regional Lunch!

 

[RunnerMomO]

Still on hold after 19 minutes with no music...uh oh!

 

[tkldisney]

Yes, if you have and use your Disney visa! I got reserved seating for PFTS 10/26 and Italian regional lunch 10/12.

 

[smile4stamps]

I booked a FRUNCH and PFTS. I may book more later if stuff is available but that is what I really wanted!

 

[LVSWL]

Booked the French also, and the Tequila Lunch. Yay!

 

[Redwitch]

two cells on hold - 25 minutes and counting!

 

[TDC Nala]

on hold 16 min. No hold music.

 

[pmdeve]

I go in exactly at 7. I was able to book everything we wanted including Reserve Seating for PFTS.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Was able to book everything I wanted this morning with the Disney Visa card

Booked:
- October 12th Mexican Tequila Lunch at San Angel @ noon
- October 12th Mixology Series: Taste, Shake and Indulge at Monsier Paul @2:30
- October 17th Beverage Seminar: Lasseter Family Winery @ 2pm

one note for people that call, seems like it was easier for them to find via the restaurant name. For example, they found an event at Monsier Paul at 2:30 on October 12th rather than finding it via "Mixology Series"

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

They aren't Booking anything other than the Deminars, PFTS, Cheese Seminars. Wine School & 3D Dessert Party. I tried for a regional Lunch & Spirits Confidential & was told I have to call back tomorrow.

This is what I was told after holding 25min.

 

[marsh0013]

Sweet seats oct 25, tequila lunch oct 24 booked! And even the Bacardi mixology that was "sold out" so excited!!! That's all I needed. And an Italian food and beer for my brother and his friend on oct 22. Got through right around 715

Now that I'm off the line....

I booked the Jiko Dinner on Oct 24
Kitchen Confidential on Oct 25
French Regional Lunch on Nov 1
Sweet Sundays on Nov 3

The only think I couldn't book was the V&A dinner on Oct 27...have to call the restaurant directly for that, though the restaurant has been telling me they don't control those ressies.

Ah, well, if you get a CM who says you can't book the events, make them double check....I had no problem with booking the ones above. Got in with no wait, but when I tried to call back after V&A was closed, I got a message that there is now a 30 min wait (in English).

I got up a tad late and didn't dial until nearly 6:15 and was told 30 minute hold time, it as been 15 so far. It seems like it has been going well for those who have already posted. I only want one seminar that isn't likely to be a quick sell out so I am hoping for the best.

I hope everyone gets what they want!
