I'm in... 8:25 for Friday. Hope everyone else had luck. The CM told me I was taking the last 6 topper (for 5) of the morning. It was 7:03.... crazy. I have Dec. 2 also and will be cancelling one of them once my itinerary is done. I'll be sure to post when I'm about to cancel so a dis member can snatch it up if possible. LEt me know how you guys did.

I start making my ps's this week. I hope to get CRT. DD4 is dieing to have breakfast with Cinderella and friends. Anyway, I have a question: A couple is suppose to be going to WDW at the same time as us, but staying at a different resort. She says to include her in my seating. I was making one for me, DD4, DD18 mos. and my Mom. DH and dad prefer to eat somewhere else. So I was making it for 4, with her will be 5. The problem is, I'm not so sure that they are actually going to go on this trip. I had to keep bugging them (so I felt) about making their ressie and then they made it for ASM we are at CR. If I make it for 5 and they end up not going, what happens when I show up for my seating? Will they let me in or charge me for her? I almost feel like not making it for her just to be safe and not take from someone else. I hate to keep calling them. I'm feel like I am becoming a real pain about this trip. I'm not sure they are that interested. WHat would you do and what should I do? THanks for any opinions.

Finally, after a week of trying. I'll be there Dec.3 with DD8, DS2 and my mother. My husband and DS10 politely declined the invitation to dine with Cindy again.

I hope to see you all there.

Ash and Abbys mom, I know how you feel!
I have been the planner for our trip, and have been getting less than enthusiastic responses from my group!

Anyway, you can cancel her off the rerervation 24 hours prior and get your 10 dollar deposit back. So I would include her in the ressie, and cancel her later if you have too.

Good luck!!!

Maci,

So I would still be able to get in on my ps if I cancel her off? It doesn't change size of table going from 5 to 4? I never thought this could get so frustrating. Thanks!

It may change the size of the table, but they will let you do it.
Think of it this way, IF they did not let you do it, and you kept you reserevation as is, you would only be losing ten dollars...her deposit amount. Breakfast at the castle is worth ten bucks!

It is frustrating I know!

Hi! This is my first post here! Thanks for all the great information.

I have been trying to make ressies for CRT for the past 3 days. Each time I am on hold for over a half hour and still no one has picked up. I am sure the CRT is booked by then. What else can I do. I call at the right time (from the tips etc). I am really frustrated and starting to "lose the magic" before I even go!

Anyone else in the same boat? Any new suggestions? The new menu slows you down, what do you do to get around it? The tips post is old and probably doesn't help w/ this.

Thanks!

We'll be in WDW Dec 3-10!! Can't wait! DD (4) and DD (1) first time!

Hi, Julieboolie....my sister, brother in law, and myself have all been on hold since 7:00!! I don't have any new tips for you, but I'm going to hold until someone pick up....maybe they won't all be gone! It looks like we'll be there at the same time!
Good luck!!

 

[mom2cobysyd]

I have also been on hold since 7:00am. I really hope they are open and we are not just waiting for nothing...

 

[Pammy_from_WI]

LOL I'm on hold too and it's driving nuts. I'm NOT hanging up this phone and even tried to call from the second cell and just got the higher then normal call volumes message.

I hope we all get a ressie!!! Good luck and keep us posted!

It may be that there are very few people working this morning, and only a handful of CM are handling all the calls.

Good luck to you all!!!

I have been on hold for 1 1/2 hr and the music is driving me crazy. Just so I am sure I am calling for the right day and I am not on hold for no reason what day are you calling for CRT. I used the PS calculator but who knows I could of made a mistake. Has anyone gotten thru this am at all?

 

[Pammy_from_WI]

Has anyone got through yet? I've now been on hold for 1 hour and 45 mintues.... Oh I tried on the other cell and it now says VERY high call volumes. LOL

 

[Pammy_from_WI]

I'm calling for Dec 5th. I called WDW on Fri and they told me to call today.

 

[I*Heart*WDW]

Okay, this was weird... My hubby and I both called the 407 number like it said to in the Cindy's ps thread. I messed up the phone call somehow. When it asked "if you have visited more than"... I hit 1 early and the phone just sat there, no hold music or anything. So we stayed on hold with the other phone. Then, after 30 minutes of waiting, I decided to call the 800 number. At 8:08, the 800 number answered, meanwhile, the 407 number that we had been on hold since exactly 7:00 did not!

The lady told me that she gave away the last table for our party size 3 minutes before. I am so bummed!

I'm not sure if I can improve upon my performance today, but any tips are appreciated.

Did anyone get a ps they wanted?

The lady offered me a 2 person table, and my hubby said take it, because my daughter and I could go. He said he could take the boys to do something else. What do ya'll think? I don't know if I feel right going without them. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing!

Thanks for listening to my whining!

 

[mom2cobysyd]

I gave up after 1 hr 45 min. I will just try again tomorrow for reservations on Dec 6th. Good luck to the rest of you waiting
