Any members had trouble making 90+10 ADRs?

I have a new question about this. Should we be calling the 407 WDINE number to do our 90+10 ressies, or can we call the toll free numbers?

I used 800-828-0228, seemed like a longer wait, but it still worked. They had no problem recognizing my reservation @ BWV.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping.

:Tax & gratuities (I believe 18%) are automatically included. It's been reported that the CM/Servers are encouraging the maximum usage of the plan to inflate the total/tip.

I've even read tales of phantom children being added to the res. in order to weezle an additional adult meal option for each day. Nothing more than criminal intent, diabolical I say...and the folks on the free dining plan are complaining they can't eat @ CRT each day, imagine that!

You are correct. I had been told that tax and gratuities were not included, that was wrong and you are correct. Thanks for pointing it out.

I called on Sunday for the week of Dec. 17th and used the 407 WDW-DINE number. Le Cellier was booked for the entire night of the 17th as has previously been reported, so was the Coral Reef. This was our CP package which I waited too long to make ressies for. I also had 2 other dinners to make. The CM told me she couldn't find my DVC ressie for the BWV. I reminded her twice this was done through DVC. Finally she told me I would need to call back in a couple of days at the 90 day mark. I told her that wasn't acceptable so she put me on hold for at least 5" to talk to Guest Services. She finally came back and told me the reason she couldn't find it was because it was a DVC ressie, imagine that?? I reminded her I had told her that and she said she could now make my additional dinner seatings. It was a hassle but did get done.

I'm @ the point that when I encounter a dense/untrained CM, I end the call and start over. Always seem to get better results starting over with a different CM.

Yesterday, I called DCL with a situtation/question 3 different times & received 3 different answers. . Finally, a supervisor was consulted and I got a "definitive answer"...if my potential problem arose before my cruise they'd deal with it on a case-by-case basis; but wouldn't promise anything in writing. Guess I need to put my trust in the Mouse.

I found out that there just aren't very many tables for 2 at Le Cellier or CRT. On top of that, only a small percentage of the tables are made available for the 90 +10 thing. The rest are released at the 90 day mark and in some cases, additional tables are released as it gets closer to the date (not really sure how this last works, though).

Anyway, I got what I wanted at the 90 day mark - couldn't get it for the +10 period.

best wishes -

And no doubt a few tables are held back for concierge guests, etc.
My DVC reservation number was accepted without problem -- I did not announce it as such, just read it to them when asked. I was fortunate to get LeCellier at 91 days at the time I wanted, during CP season.

I imagine the child-adult loophole will be closed as soon as they can modify their systems (both computer and human) to track child and adult credits separately. But these things take time.
