An Ohana Reunion...The Waterless Cruise...

[magiroux]

Thanks Des!
I was perusing the portal tonight and found a room, so we are booked at POR FQ. I was trying to get resorts that others were at too, but couldn't pass up $75 bucks a night and we like FQ anyway!
I have it booked 8/14-21, but may tweak it depending on prices of flights out. I have to be back by the 21st because I have my high school reunion on the 22nd

Kallie will be so excited! Not sure if we will keep it secret up until the departure, or break it to her at some point earlier.

It feels so great knowing "I'm going to Disney World" !
I will catch up on reservations and such after the wedding!

Awesome...so glad you are going to make it!

Hi all!

Ok..Ohana is reserved but I am still waiting to hear on 1900 Park Faire...they made me leave a message with the restaurant.

Ohana was available for 6:30...I know Wishes isn't until 10PM but hopefully that will work.

I will let you know as soon as possible about 1900 Park Faire.

Thank you so much for calling, Des! And, thanks Roger letting us use your reservation number. I was really nervous my check in date was too close to the date we wanted to reserve.

The early bird.......

Glad you can make it! I love POFQ! One of my favoritie resorts with the theme, not huge so everything's close, pool is great, plus beignets! DD & I made a special trip over on one of our trips just to get beignets. Yummo!



Woohoo thanks for doing the ADRs Des! What night is Ohana?

Awesome...so glad you are going to make it!

No problem...and thanks Roger!! Ohana is Tuesday night. I am STILL waiting on 1900..I've called twice and am getting upset..why make us call the restaurant if you aren't going to make the reservation?

Is there a particular page that has everybody's plans and dining reservations on? I'm at work and can't concentrate anyway, with all the final wedding details, so figured I would do some vacation plans

Are they just blowing you off or have you talked to someone and are wiaitng for a definate answer?

I know I called Ohana three times with some general questions about booking if I ended up with more than 31 people (group dining said I would then have to go thru Ohana direct) and they never called me back. Maybe you could try DVC Member Services and see if they will help . That was my back plan if I needed to call them and couldn't get any help.

Hey Jill....FYI free dining starts 8/16, you might consider 2 separate reservations so you can get it.

They are blowing me off completely..I have called supervisors..group ding reg dining...ugh....!


And Jill..I got your PM...I will get back to you...I have been busy with this and also I had a booking today and I have my Girl Scout Award ceremony tonight for the local 40 troops so I am a little stressed at the moment...

I need some pixie dust!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Ok...here is where we are....group dining can not make the 1900 ressie...they reached a supervisor who informed them they do not know why I called back..they have 72 hours to let me know if I can have the group ressie (their vmail and CM keep saying there will be a cb in 2 hours) so..I will need to wait until Sunday to see if we have the ressie. I will prob check back tomorrow and see if they have a status update..I can't believe it takes that long to decide if we will fit or not

 

[magiroux]

Issues? Not in this crowd, didn't you see the spreadsheep?

yes, but are you packing your Pampered Chef collapsible bowls and non-stick omlette pan for optium comfort in preparing home cooked meals.....

I'm not well....

Wow, going to the Department of Homeland Security?

I do have trouble with that. It will always be MGM to me

What a PITA, Des. It is very frustrating that they treat our vacations that we scrimp and save for with such indifference . Hopefully everything works out in our favor.

Hope it's not too late for some

Thanks again for all your time and planning!

 

[magiroux]

OK - some interesting conversations going on about the new On-line ADR System about to be open to the general public.....

(FYI - IMACM appears to be a seasoned Disney Dining CM. He/She has always been a super helpful poster on the restaurant board. Since they are a current CM posting on a public forum, sometimes you need to read between the lines )

Thats ok...MA told me about the online ressies for TA's only..I was so excited! I tried to get on to book your ADRs last night..it let me do one and then no others (as you saw your confirmation prob in your email) Then it kicked me to the curb...LOL....I got up and booked everything no problem until I got to 1900...then I was transferred all over....everyone kept saying...1 hour...it was like a broken record...anyways..I will call again tomorrow...no big deal. The nice thing was being able to use your ressie was that we got to book Ohana, Prime Time and Boma.

I appreciate it! The problem now is when you go into the online ADR..it still only lets you book the 90 days...not the +10.

Have a great night!

 

[magiroux]

Not sure if we're arriving on the 16th or not yet, but if we do we might. Oh & we never do the package anymore. We found we get better seats without. Of course that was before they cut down the amount of nights they show it, but we'll take our chances.

OK, let me know. I agree, better seats and I don't like that they make you have dinner at 4PM.
