CRT and dinner before MVMCP

[dizzyfan]

I just got off the phone with WDW dining, because my credit card has not yet been charged for my candlelight processional reservation (which I made the day they were released). At first she tried to tell me you were not charged until 48 hours before in case you decide to cancel and I ask her to please read the rules for booking as I thought she may be in correct. She read the rules and said you are right it does say you will be charged now.Then she says the reservation is there and it says pending - and there is nothing for me to worry about, however if it is not charged by Wednesday I am going to call again.

Any way while I was on the phone with her I decided to ask if it was possible to book any other rest. other than LTT for MVMCP (which we are attending on 12/20) and she said no. I ask would we be able to book CRT 60 days out and she said no that CRT was clsoing at 3:00 and would not reopen. I find this so hard to believe that the only rest. that will be open in the MK will be LTT.
I wanted to eat at CRT around 5:30pm so this bothers me a little - now I am not sure where to eat. We have eaten at most of the resorts there at MK,we have done Chef Mickey, Ohana, 1900 Park Fare and we have done CRT for Breakfast but not dinner so I thought this would be a wonderful time to do that.

Can any one offer any tips? Maybe she just did not know what she was talking about just as she did not with the candlelight package.

I think I am still going to try at 60 days out and see if I can book this.

This is our first trip during the Christmas season so I am a little concerned about the crowds, that is why I want to make sure we have all our dning reservations made in advance. I book them in adavance for our summer trips but this time seems to be even busier.

Any tips or advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bummer - I was hoping to eat at CRT around 5:00 or 5:30 before MVMCP too. I know they were not open in previous years during the party, but I thought they would be open before regular closing (6:00). If they aren't open, we'll probably find something at our hotel (BWV) or go offsite.

I made several PSs for my family today and I decided to go ahead and book another rest. for the 20th before MVMCP. We are going to eat at Concourse Steakhouse at the Contemporary (5:30pm on 12/20) I plan to call back 60 days out and make sure the person I spoke with was correct about CRT not reopening, but just in case I have something else planned.

I planned on eating at Tony's that night...CM's often do not know what is going to happen any sooner then we do...

I called about the charges not being on my CC too, and they told me the same thing, that it was pending
We're planning on trying to get a PS at the Plaza at 5:30pm to try and stay in the park for MVMCP.This has worked in the past.I hope they haven't changed it!
