i got lucky and got the CRT ressies on my 2nd day of trying. my advice for those who didn't get so lucky is this: KEEP CALLING BACK!!! Check every few days for cancellations. This has been effective for me. The resort we wanted was booked but I called back until I finally got in through a cancellation. I've had luck picking up PS's this way too, although not, admittedly, for CRT. This will be our first time to eat at CRT. If all else fails, just show up. I have heard that they seat a few people every hour that don't have ressies. If it means a lot to your kids, i would do it. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY COUNTDOWN WENT BUT IT IS 50 DAYS UNTIL OUR FIRST TRIP TO WDW AT CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
