Coral Reef Restaurant - Diver/menu - Discontinued for 2009

My son loved his last year - email them pictures and they will make it up for you. I need to remind myself to do this again!
 
I am so excited! DH's 45th b'day is tomorrow and he is getting his "surprise" lunch at CR on Tuesday!

Sorry for the large photo,
I don't know how to make it smaller. :)
We did this for my parents who hadn't been to the park since 1972. They loved it. It was a very special trip for us.
 
Has anyone received a call from Debbi since her return from vacation? I left her a voicemail and left one with the restaurant and still no return call. Just wondering if she is still doing this. :confused3
 

I called the regular CR number and left a pretty specific message for the mgmt team on 7/31 with our ADR and a request for a personlized menu (not a diver as we eat at 8PM). I had a message on my home phone the next day (not from Debbi) with the CR email address to send up to 6 pictures. I emailed them on 8/3 and within the hour had an email response from Debbi that they had received the pictures and they looked great. I never asked to speak to or emailed Debbi, however the response to my email came from her and included her personal contact info.

I'm so excited! I left a message for Debi before she went on her vacation, she called me last week and made our ressie for a diver in November!:cool1:
 
Do I have to have ADR's scheduled before I call to request a menu, or does Coral Reef make the ressies???

I've called 4 times with no response:sad2: Once before she was on vacation, once during and twice since then. I called this past week, and her voicemail said she would be out from last Wed. until this Monday, so we'll see. It's not looking good for us, especially since we leave in 3 weeks, but you never know. It'd be nice to hear something back though:sad2:
 
How far ahead do you contact her? We are going in October....should I wait a little while to try and get in touch with her, or go ahead and call now?
 
Call her as soon as you have an ADR. She checks her voice messages and does reply. It may take some time.
 
Can I just say how excited I am!!! I got an e-mail from Debi today:banana: I just need to e-mail her our pic's and my surprise should be ready!!!:cool1:
 
Hi brockash...I know exactly how you feel.:yay: We leave in four days and our first ADR is CR, complete with diver, menus and cake. I can't wait.:banana: :cheer2: :banana:
 
I, as well, have spoken to Debbi and have received an e-mail requesting photos etc for our menu. In the e-mail is did say that a diver has been requested and no quarantee as to whether or not we'll have a tank side table, but will be seated as close as possible. We will be celebrating our 45th Anniversary! I'm doing this as a surprise for my husband. Of course I did suggest to him that he might want to give me something 'sparkly'--now I have to wait to see if he got the hint!
 
We were just there and our menu was wonderful, but they forgot the diver sign. DH spoke to the manager there who was awesome and made a new sign and contacted the dive team immediately and got them in the tank. If you still don't see your diver sign by the time you've received your dessert, it might be a good idea to check.

I did have a question about that; she never asked what the sign should say?? I was going to e-mail her that when I e-mail her the pic's, but I just wanted to check to see if that's the best way. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you could choose (to a point) what the sign would say. Any thoughts?
 
I tried calling. They said to email, they were not taking calls. I tried emailing. No response and it has been a week and half. I realize this is a special service and they don't have to do it, but it would be nice to at least get a response. Even if they were just sending out something to tell me no. I just tried to email again, but I am a little confused that others keep saying how helpful and nice it is and I don't even get a response? It is our first vacation in 8 years. It is for my sons 5th birthday, I just wanted to do something special. Sorry venting. I am not exactly the luckiest person in the world. Oh well. Kind of makes me want to cancel the ADR but we are going during free dining so I would probably not get anything else. I just wish they would have at least responded.

I totally understand, I have left voicemails all over the place and still have not received a call back, and when I read brockash got it and we are going at the same time....I felt a little jealous. All I really want is a menu, not even the diver :confused3

Here's wishing both of us a little magic! :wizard:

I was feeling the same way a couple days ago. I ended up calling her 4 times and leaving voicemails. I'm not sure if you guys have tried this, but I would call her and leave a message with your e-mail address(I did this twice.) She seems to be quicker at e-mailing ppl. as oppose to calling back (I still have never spoken to her, and probably won't.) Keep hoping, I was ready to give up when I got the e-mail last night. She seems to be the only one doing these, so I'm sure she's pretty busy, but from what I've read from other ppl, she does seem to eventually get back to everyone. I'm wishing you some pixie dust;)
