i forgot how much the absolute chaos of signing up for these events almost makes me not want to go during F&W.
almost...
Actually last year the "chaos" was pretty limited (Not near as much fun as in the past watching hysteria break out on here). I think Disney may have shot the golden goose. They are still making money, but I don't think ANY of the PFTS sold out last year for example.

I am hoping for easy breezy tomorrow. It is our last full day of vacation in Mexico and I am hoping not to spend hours on the phone! Glad for a day early booking so I don’t have to stress about leaving for the airport.Yeah, last year was amazingly easy. I found an email I sent to my mom after booking last year noting how shocked I was that I was able to get through to book in 13 minutes! The years before that we were on hold for a solid hour before being able to get through!
Weird thing is, I totally miss the hysteria breaking out on here, something about that made it so much more exciting!

Fingers crossed you have a super easy booking tomorrow! We can't book til Wednesday, but I'm working under the assumption that most people aren't even aware that it's booking time yet. If I weren't following these boards I would have no idea, I would start looking for booking in June based on what happened last year. So hoping Wednesday is also a quick call...especially since I need to be at a meeting by 8:30 and it's a solid 45 minute drive from my house!
Enjoy your last day of vacation!

Any thoughts on French Family Meal or Italian Wine vs. Beer? I haven’t done either and am planning on choosing one for this year.
That and Hibachi Experience as that only has 16 seats per event.
We didn't do any of the Sunday brunch events the last year or two. I just researched last year's thread to read a really comprehensive review of the new format for the Sunday brunch. I think my husband and I have decided not to spend that kind of money on a Q&A event and only one dish from the featured chef at the end of the buffet. We are also not interested in the photo so much if we have to wait so long at the end to get it. I did like the old format with being first in line for the book signing events after the brunch. A picture then was easy to get.I like them too and a couple others on the list. I did the one with Richard Blais last year and enjoyed it. I’m torn on the format though. I think I prefer a cooking demo to the straight Q&A. And a photo doesn’t really interest me generally.
Booking appears to be open. My husband and I both called and both got in immediately. We are DVC, AP holders, and have a room reservation. They needed the confirmation number for the room to book, but other than us having to scramble to not double book anything since we were both talking at the same time it was easy this year and we were done in less than 15 minutes....got all 4 events we wanted.
I couldn’t get through either. The cast member at the regular dining number wasn’t sure what I was talking about and transferred me but it was asking for a code number to complete the transfer. I’ll just wait until lunch time to book.Just tried. CM would not let me book until 9 am.

Just completed reservations. I called 407-939-3463
Was able to get 4 events.
I was somewhat concerned halfway thru the call when I saw posts about shutting down 'till 9, but the CM didn't say a thing. She took my CC and gave me reservation #'s.
This inconsistency seems to be a hallmark of F&W. It's crazy.
