I'm doing the Cinderella's Happy Dance. I got through this morning for May 7th, 8:50am ressie. My twins are going to be so excited. When I heard an actual voice and she gave me a time, I almost started crying! Now I have to rearrange my entire schedule because I origionally wanted Cindy's for May 6th, but I don't mind-we got in, YEA!!!!!

Hi Guys: My neighbor just now tells me that she has been trying and trying since the 60 day mark to see if she could get CRT reservations. They need a table for 6, but it is realy for her and her 3 year old girl. I'm sure the three boys and maybe Dad would probably love to not go, LOL. So, if a table for less is available that's fine too.

If anyone knows of someone cancelling their reservation, can they please let me know and she can try and co-ordinate calling in at the same time?

Many thanks, Margaret64

Just got Cindy's ressie this morning. I am very excited. DH and I were on 2 phone lines dialing redial furiously at 6:57. Lot's of people must have been calling in because the connect time was extremely slow. I got in first and put on hold (music was pocahontas) Hubbie got thru a few seconds later and got put on hold in a different line (music was lion king). Hubbie's CM picked up first. I was on hold until hubbie confirmed ressie and then hung up without ever sppeaking to CM. So, now I'm really confused, why was DH able to get thru before me when I was on a few seconds before him? Any ideas?

In any event...We're going!!!

I was told and have read that calls are answered in order received which is not true. One of my calls was answered first and was second or third dialed.

So it really is random dumb luck, huh? There's got to be a better (fairer) way.

Kind of like standing in line to get a wrist band for concert tickets that are still allocated by lottery?

I think the whole system is nuts! I actually got through on my second try - YAY! However, I plan to try tomorrow as timing would be much better. Does anyone know if they will just transfer my reservation should I get lucky and get through again?
Do I need to start all over and cancel my other one later or what? I hate to have a reservation I don't need even for one second! If I get lucky, there may be an opening for four on May 6 by 7:05!

 

[Tay N Evie's Mom]

Don't hold your breath for that May 6th ressie (LOL)! I wanted May 6th also, but didn't get it. I got one for May 7th yesterday. I tried to call again today for May 8th (out of all the days I didn't want a Cindy's ressie it would have been May 7th and behold-that's the only one I got) I was on hold until 7:09 and it was already sold out for May 8th. I asked about Cindy's for May 6th and the entire week of May 5th for Princess Storybook-everything was booked. I guess it was meant to be for us to go on May 7th. Now I have to rearrange all my other PS, May 7th was going to be our off day from the parks and go to DTD.

Hey - that's what happened to me! I got into the darn thing on an "EPCOT Day" for us. We have a PS for dinner that I don't want to change, so I guess we'll be eating nicely that day. We're not on property, so I pretty much have to avoid those early entry days! Wish me luck for tomorrow - my last chance for a better morning!!!

I have been thinking about making this 6:57 phone call for two months.
THrilled to have gotten through on my first try. Couldnt have done it without the great tips from this board . Cant wait to see
My "princess" when she sees Cinderella.

Thanks Everyone

I used the tips on the board and started calling at 6:57 and got in on 2 phones btw 6:58 and 6:59 - hit 1 on both and was put on hold where I stayed until one picked up at 7:03 and it was sold out. Other line was still on hold. So is it easy to get through you just have to hope you are not on hold forever? or do you ever hear a busy signal?
Any suggestions on what to try different?
This was my first day trying - and also unfortunately May 9 was my preferred day but I'll keep trying.
Any advice?

 

[momofqandl]

hcarr - I am not an expert by any means, I did however push 0 instead of 1 this morning and they picked up within 10 seconds. I do believe it was answered earlier than I thought it would be. It was 7:00 when I got off the phone after giving all my info, (according to my computer time anway ) so they were picking up at 6:57.

Good luck to you

I have received several pm's so I am just going to put a message out to everyone. We unfortunately did not receive our ps for 5/7 that we really wanted. I still have an extra ps for either 5/4 or 5/5, but I am not sure which I am going to cancel. As soon as we work out our schedule with the rest of our group, I will post so that someone here can get the ps. Sorry!

 

[Chloesmom]

I got thru after 4 days of trying ( with 3 people each day). My call was asnwered at 6:59 after being on hold for a minute. We had a party of 6 and were able to all get on one table. The nice CM told me that only 60 seats were in the restaurant and very few tables were set up for more than 4. That made me feel even luckier. When I got the conf. # I thought I was going to cry.

 

[abt426]

Well I have struck out 4 days in a row, tried a little something different each day and still no luck. The awful thing is I got it on my first try for our last trip and thought I knew how to get through. If anyone is cancelling for may6,7,8,9,or 10 ( my one last chance in the am) please email me (alena426@yahoo.com)or post a reply. I am afraid that my 2yo dd will not understand why her Cindy didn't invite her to breaskfast this time. Thank goodness I do have a back-up Princess storybook for the 10th but without Cindy there I am afraid it won't do for my little proncess.
Thanks
Alena

I just hung up with disney dining making a ps and was told that there is an opening at CRT for Sat. May 3rd 9:00 party of 4. I know there are several of you out there looking for this day, someone better grab it quick!

Hi,
We are traveling with 13 people to WDW in August. My question is, how many people can I reserve a table for at once? I thought I read the tables will only accomodate 6. Is this true. I know that I won't be able to get reservations for all of us, but I don't want to ask for ressies for 8 people, only to waste valuable time while they tell me they can't accomodate that many. What do you all think? I am really feeling the pressure because we are traveling with 2 families who have never been to WDW, and this will most likely be their only trip! I want it to be special, and Cindy's would be just perfect!
