was the reservation what you wanted or did you have to make any adjustments based on availability?

I was so excited to get through, and she was very quick about booking it. I had all my info right in front of me! She gave me the conf# and I asked twice, "So this really means we have the MK one bedroom??" and she said YES. I could tell she was happy for me but ready to take her next call so instead of asking another question (which I can do at another time) I hung up so others can get through!!

Congratulations and welcome home!!!

I had 3 lines dialing the 800#, and the land line got thru

Is this something new? While we have only 210 points ourselves my sister has over 1000 points and she has never heard about this phone number.

 

[SunnieRN]

I got right through by dialing at 8:59, Bay Lake Dec 9-11 MKV studio!!!
So relieved!!

 

[LadyKay]

Got through almost immediately. Had three phones dialing. The CM told me I was one of the first to get through . Booked a standard view studio @ BLT Aug 24-28. The ressie is actually for friends of ours. We are next door CR concierge/free dining.

 

[tmli]

I was dialing for 30 minutes to a busy signal, on hold for 18 minutes.

We made 2 reservations...std studio Oct 8-12 at BLT and a std studio Dec 10-14 also at BLT.

 

[erionm]

I dialed on two lines for over 30 minutes then 20 minutes on hold.

Booked a studio at BLT for 12/31 - 1/2. Couldn't get MK view for night of 12/31 so booked LV. Have MK view for night of 1/1 and wait listed for 12/31.

 

[pixierella]

Finally done. I booked a 1BR SV close to the elevator on a higher floor for 10/25/09-11/01/09. Had a very nice CM who explained what I could request and possible get since I had no idea.

 

[JaxDisneyFans]

Hooray!! We got 2-bdrm LV for 10/23-10/26/09.

We started calling at 9:00am. After 49 minutes of straight busy signal, got through only to be cut off at option #2.

Finally got through again at 10:20 and after twenty minutes on hold, got what we wanted.

Good luck and to all those still trying.

 

[PutnamDS]

Got exactly what I asked for once I finally got to MS!!!

How long were you on hold with MS? About 20 minutes - the hard part was actually getting to MS - got a busy signal from 8:59-9:42 (Sigh). Once I got the phone to ring in, and got into the automated system, it was only about 20 minutes.

What room/view did you get? I got a studio with a MK view!

Was the reservation what you wanted or did you have to make any adjustments based on availability? I got exactly what I asked for on the first try!

When will you be going home? It was January 8-15, 2010!

...and any other info that you would like to share with BLT owners.

I also booked a Treehouse Villa for October 15-22, followed by a 3-day cruise on the Disney Wonder! I'm looking forward to both, as it will, of course, be our first stay at a treehouse and it will also be our very first cruise!

Halloween week- MK studio . and it only took 1hr 45min.

 

[Dee77]

Well I got my reservation, the exact one my family wanted/needed. I was unable to get through for 1 hour and 21 minutes, hold time was 25 minutes and speaking with MS was less than 4 minutes (it would have been less but I did have 2 newbie questions and had to wish her much luck and patience for the rest of the day- Sophie was a wonderful MS CM.)

We (DH,DD(2), my parents and I) will be staying at BLT in a one bedroom lake view from Nov 30th to Dec 8th. My In-laws are staying at SSR so I am so pleased that DD will have a disney trip with all of her grandparents to look forward to and treasure for years to come.

 

[disprincessatheart]

How long were you on hold with MS? About 25 minutes - This was of course after a full 75 minutes (yes, and hour and 15 minutes) of frantically hitting redial about every 20 - 30 seconds.

What room/view did you get? Studio - Lake View.

Was the reservation what you wanted or did you have to make any adjustments based on availability? We wanted a standard view studio, but it was sold out on 12/31 - go figure. So we took lake view instead. When DH and I were discussing our final plans yesterday, I did look at all the views/points for that day and told him that was a possiblilty but we both agreed that since those were the dates we wanted to travel, the extra 13 points was ok if that was all we could get.

When will you be going home? December 29 - January 2, 2010!
