Any luck? HDDR in October?

[staceycrouton]

Hi! I was curious if anyone has been able to book the Hoop Dee Doo Revue for October? We will be there at the end of October/early November and I was wondering, with the rumored refurbishment, if the reservation system has allowed October bookings? HDDR is always one of our must-dos and I'm hoping that the refurbishment rumors are just rumors. I am trying to put together a tentative ressie schedule and not know for certain what is going on with the HDDR is messing up my planning.

We have reservations for 9/30. When I tried our October dates it said no times available. I don't know if that means it will be closed, or if they haven't loaded them yet (some other places such as Le Cellier are having the same problem).

So far the word is they will be closed in early November as well, right? This was by far my husbands favourite meal when we went last... i think I care more than he does though!

We are also hoping for the end of October. The latest I read on another website is that a travel company that that website is affliated with had been told by about half a dozen dining CM's that HDDR will be closed from Oct. 1 - Dec. 31 for refurb. But they said their agents have still been able to access the reservation system for HDDR, so they weren't sure if the dates for the refurb were still not definitely set or if WDW just hadn't caught up with the closure with their system. I found this odd since you can't book HDDR online & WDW dining CM's haven't been booking it for people. I thought travel agents used the same "system" to book ADR's as everyone else?

I don't know if this means anything either ... yesterday I sent in my IPO planning questionnaire for the Poly. Our ADR date is in two weeks. Just in case I still listed HDDR. An IPO CM replied, acknowledging receipt of my questionnare and mentioned nothing about the HDDR being closed. Instead they told me they needed my CC # because that particular reservation would have to be paid in full up front. I found it odd that an IPO CM wouldn't be aware of the closure if it was definite. It may have just been a case that they didn't clue into the dates ...
