I called this morning to make an ADR for our upcoming September trip. DS and DD are dying to do the breakfast at Ohanas with Stitch.
Its DD's birthday while we are there , also a MK day. I'll call and see if they have anything early.
Its an EMH day that day and we are staying at the BWV.
I asked for the earliest time for 4. She asked where are you staying and do you have your own car. I told her BWV and no we don't have a car. Well she goes on to say, it will take you a while to get here so the earliest we have is 8:40am.
So we have another MK day scheduled, asked the earliest time for that day. Same thing 8:40am. I said , Are you sure nothing before that? No, and ma'am she says, why would you want earlier than 8:40am you couldn't possibly get to the Poly before then anyhow since the buses only start running 1/2 hour before park opening.
I said its an EMH day and the buses start way before 1/2 hour prior to opening. She wouldn't budge. I says thanks, hang up, call right back. Got a great CM, lo and behold they have a 7:30am for 4 at Ohanas.
Just makes me mad. Why did this CM think she could dictate when my family could get to the restaurant? We can take a cab if need be.
Another example, if you don't get what you want, call back.

I had a CM the other night arguing with me when I was trying to make ADR's for Rainforest Cafe at AK at 6:45 p.m. (the park closes at 7 p.m. that day but we're arriving that early afternoon and will not be going to any park) that unless we're planning on being at the park that day that I really shouldn't make an ADR for there. What? 
I then convinced her that we really do want to eat there and will be driving and not riding the bus so then she starts to argue with me about we'd have to pay for parking at the gate just to eat at the Rainforest Cafe at AK. I told her we have AP's (wasn't sure if you get free parking to the parks with an AP as we've never driven to the parks) and we're staying on property. She then asks what kind of AP we have so she can see if I get free parking. I told her it didn't matter if we had to pay to park at the gate (as I didn't really care or have the time for her to look through to see if our AP's included free parking as it was irrelevant) we still wanted to eat there so she FINALLY made the ADR. I thought it was all kind of funny and strange at the same time. I was almost waiting for her to say "I was pulling your leg this whole time..." but it never came.
