Hi thanks so much for the input. I thought though if you are on the dining plan and hold CRT with a credit card they dont go ahead and charge it.

The charge for the dining at CRT already came out of my bank account when I booked it two months ago so thats why I wasnt sure if I could get that back if we now added the dining to our vacation.

Thanks again..

Another question that is probably not in check with this topic. If I already paid for a reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table but then we decide to switch over to the dining plan, do I get the money back for the ressie at CRT? I booked it way out when we were first allowed to but now we are thinking of adding the dining plan so I am not sure how that works now.

Yes even if you are on the dining plan you still have to guarantee the reservation with a credit card. So it´s no difference.

Actually, there is a significant difference. DDP folks booking CRT only have to give a CC number to guarantee the ressie - they are not charged at that point. If you book CRT without having the DDP, you have to pay for your meal when you book it.

Lilmattie - Some people who have booked and paid for CRT and have later added the DDP to their vacation have managed to get a refund through WDW-DINE and others have reported that they've had to wait until they actually go to the restaurant to get their refund. If I were you, I'd try calling to see if the CM can refund your card now rather than waiting until your trip.

So how has everyone been making out with their ADR's with the new 90 window? Just wondering as I have to call for ours on Tuesday.

The only one I had a hard time with was the Fantasmic Dining Package at Mama Melrose's for a group of 8. The latest available was 3:40! That was for 4/30. I'm going to call back and try for May 3rd - but as of yesterday the CMs still didn't have information about when F! would be showing. I assume they'll have it when we have May hours - hopefully Sunday or Monday.

All of my others were available right around the times I wanted - Le Cellier, Teppan Edo, Whispering Canyon, Garden Grill, 50's PTC, Tusker House breakfast.

We are on the DP and when I reserved CRT they only took my cc info and I have not been charged and this was back in November when I made my ressie. Could you possibly make a new ressie and then cancel your old one?

 

[Lilmattie13]

Thanks Tink for the info.

When we booked we werent on the dining plan however as time has gone on it makes sense for us to add it.
My TA said we will get refunded when we arrive there and do the payment at the end however I think I may try to call WDW-DINE to see if they can refund ahead. That would put $200 in our pockets prior to our vacation rather than halfway through.

Just did ADRs for half our spring trip today. Got everything we wanted at the times we wanted (early breakfasts, 5pm dinners) for a party of two.

We've read that it can be hard to get a table for two a dinner time but it worked out. We're staying at SOG so we couldn't book the +10 so we'll do the rest all at once next week.

We got Ohana breakfast, Ohana dinner, Crystal Palace, Hoop Dee doo, Tusker house breakfast, Chef Mickey, CRT. It was all so easy!

May hours are up! Yay!
More than enough time for me to stay up and re work our ADR plan now and then call at 4am PST, so excited! I just yelped and my partner thought I fell! lol

Oh no, they're not up on the UK site and we get to make our ADR's today!!! We can't get into the international site anymore for some reason!

Try going in via a non-location-specific proxy - such as http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html. Although I still can't see the May hours on www.disneyworld.com, just up to April.

Disney is apparently aware of the issue with UK logins and say it should be fixed soon (ish). Maybe.

Booked ours this AM!! I decided not to get up early and just chance it, I was tired and I figured since CRT and CM were already booked... and no problem at all!! Called at about 8:50 Eastern, no wait at all and got all but 1 ADR within 5 minutes (including LeCellier!). The other was Kona - our first night - and that is 6:20 as opposed to 6, just fine with me!!!

Sorry if someone already posted this, but for anyone looking for Fantasmic Dinner Packages in early May, I was able to book mine this morning.

(Even though it was without our 90+10 window, the May packages weren't previously available because hours were out yet.)

Is Sci-Fi part of the package now? My cousin was told by a CM at Disney Dining that it was...I thought it was just H&V and MM...Anyone know if other places were added

You can change it now and they will credit your card and hold a guarantee on it.

We had so many meals charged to our cc in Nov, it drove me crazy! The stupid concierge at the BWI would make our ADRs and never applied our DxDDP! Just stay on top of it. They had to credit us all week for stuff. It was the concierge's fault, not Dining.

I was a bit worried because I wasn't on the phone first thing this morning (we're 90 days out today). Wanted to let you know that I phoned at 6pm EST this evening with my 5/1-10 reservations. I expected to wait to get through for a long time and have to make lots of changes.

I got right through to a CM - not a second's wait. Within 15 minutes I had all 16 reservations made, got everything I wanted when I wanted it except for 2 reservations that had to be moved back 15 minutes. It was so painless.

Maybe it was the time I called but it went so quickly. I'll check tomorrow when I add the meals for 5/11 to make sure everything's there but I thought you'd want to know.

Have a great time and see many of you in May

Hi all

I still can't get May hours up on the UK site, so have been looking at the hours on this site. I am having a panic as there don't seem be any showings of Wishes scheduled!! Is this right? I have booked two ADR's to hopefully coincide with Wishes!

I can't see the May hours on the new US site either (via a proxy site, as I'm from the UK). Are they visible to US visitors, or are people seeing them some other way? I do know the Disney CM Hub has the details live now.

Nope, can't see May hours on the US site from here either. I wish they would get their act together!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Thanks for checking! I have made my ADRs now, so wil stop worrying about the hours!
