Didn't get the dining you wanted?

[rdsx28]

Spoke with a CM today and she said people have been changing their reservations like crazy due to plane fares and switching of flights. Just a thought that if you didn't get one you wanted you might want to try again. I guess things are switching daily. Good Luck!

I agree, only today did I change some of my ADRs for August. I cancelled a 5:30 dinner at WCC for a group of 9. Rebooked an ADR at WCC for 4 @ 7:00 instead. Added a dinner for 7 at the Turf. I had no problem choosing my times and it's only 5 weeks away.

This is really good news for me as we just booked our Oct. trip today and are now deciding on where we want to eat. I'm going to start making ADR's tomorrow and hope that I get decent times.

Also since the demand for ADR's is so High! For at least my week I'm not sure about September but probably September if the demand is just as high! But I know the week of August 25th thru 31st ! Chef Mickey's has added lunch to their hours! The lady looked for dinner for me because I had to switch and they were booked of course! And she said I have a 1pm or 2pm and she's like wait i'm getting conflicting things here! Then she put me on hold and checked and yes siree they added lunch! Works for me it's the only lunch we have the entire vaca the day we get there we have nothing planned either but I figured we can eat at everything pop or do walk up at planet hollywood or wolf gang puck cafe which neither are taking reservations after 3:45pm it's all walk up until Sept 2nd! Just some info that some of you may like to know. I alos cancelled some adr's and changed some due to leaving a day later because airfare prices were cheaper I got R/T for $200 so i jumped on that I cancelled a Chef Mickey and a whispering canyon and a sci fi dine in and a 1900 parkfare!

Don't forget to cancel if you aren't going to use them all!

 

[Evan&Kimberly]

No I will not have a need to cancel them I will be in WDW for a while and they are spread out, And if I needed to cancel or change my ressies like I have done in the past I will, it is the only fair thing to do, so that someone else can enjoy,thanks for the heads up!

 

[ROEDISNEY]

I would love to ge Le Cellier but nothing ever opens up there .

Lunch at Chef Mickey's is being offered in September too during FD.

I called yesterday and was able 2 get CM 4 Brkfst on Sept 6th and they had some brkfst spots avail, mine was around 10ish and they had some dinners, but I think they were late, give them a try, I can not stress how important it is to call everyday, I have called some times 3&4 times and it has paid off for me!

 

[Kristineamb]

give them a try, I can not stress how important it is to call everyday, I have called some times 3&4 times and it has paid off for me!

Thanks for the encouragement!
I've been just calling once a day...do you think it makes a difference the time of day you call?

 

[Evan&Kimberly]

If they counted how many times I call they would probably just give me any ressie I want because you could say that I am stalking the WDW Dinning Line: laughing: I mean stalking hunting whatever!, But to answer your question I call in the mornings afternoons, midday, evenings, and before they close, and yes I do have the time to waste, But I have gotten every thing I wanted, now I am all set. I will tell you I have 2 Le Celliar ressies,2, Kona 1 chef Mickey for lunch,1 breakfast, 2 Ohana,1 Crystal Palace, Coral Reef, 1 Spoodles,and Of course We have Planet Hollywood cant let that 15.00 voucher go to waste, the only one we don’t have is 1900 Park and Fare and I may get back to the stalking I don’t know. We are BiG TiMe EaTeRs as you can tell, we are going to take advantage of this time, the free dining is great, but we will pay oop for all extras, we done the math and found that upgrading to the plan with 3 TS would be more, we would only be needing about 2 TS a day not everyday, but no more than the 2 TS, so we will pay for the others, of course we will use or TS credits on the more expensive dinning and the least expensive like breakfast we will pay oop.Well I hope this helps.

 

[Evan&Kimberly]

Hi, guys I cant stress it enough, call,call,call,call,just got off the phone with WDW and you guess it I HAVE MY 3RD RESSIE FOR LE CELLIAR , this one is for dinner ON SEPT 7TH FOR DINNER IT IS ONLY THE GOOD LORD!!!, I think it will be even sweeter 2 share the blessing! So I will now hunt the threads!!

Thanks for the heads up OP! I've been really lax making my ADRs this year. Juat haven't sat down to figure where we may be on certain days. I did make my ADR for LTT during MNSSHP months ago but that was the only on until recently. Last week I made an ADR for CG on a night Wishes is at 10. I got a 9:40 ADR. Then a few days later I was able to get one for 9:20! Score (Yes, I cancelled first one). At that same time I made an ADR for 'Ohana breakfast for 11:50 a.m. on our last day ('Ohana is now seating until noon). So that was 3 done.

Today, I called to try to get CG earlier-no luck yet but I'll keep trying. On Friday, Sept. 5th I wanted to get something for dinner at Epcot. I figured I would have a shot since NOJ is at DHS and MNSSHP is a MK that night. Also, Epcot is open late (EMH). Well, nothing open (party of 3) at Coral Reef or Tutto Italia. Only could get 6:30 at R&C (too early for Illuminations). I had her check Chefs de France and she said there was plenty available (that in itself worries me). I went ahead and booked it but don't know if I'll keep it. I'm going to keep checking back for others. Also booked late dinner at Kona on 9/2.

So, that's 5 booked, and at least 4 to go.

Thank you OP that is good to know. We have 9:30 dinner ressie at OHana in Sept that I would love to change. It was all they had when I called a few weeks ago.

 

[SoonipiLady]

I had her check Chefs de France and she said there was plenty available (that in itself worries me). I went ahead and booked it but don't know if I'll keep it.

We were there in April and it was the best meal of our trip. Keep it and enjoy.

We had to shift our dates by a couple days so if it helps anyone, I just cancelled the following:

Aug 27th O'hana 5:25 (table for 7)
Aug 28th Crystal Palace 10:30 (table for 5)

I'm hoping to get O'hana for 5:00ish on Aug 22nd or 23rd but so far I've been unsuccessful. They had 9:20 on the 23rd but I'll probably be in bed by then! LOL

 

[Evan&Kimberly]

I know that Ohanas will start serving dinner at 4pm instead of 5pm I hope this helps 4ish was just 2 early for us so I kept my 8:45pm

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I will keep it-I've been wanting to try it for a few years know so looks like this is the year. What did you have that you really liked, or didn't like. Any tips would be appreciated! TIA.

Also, I did call this a.m. and still no opens at CR or TI on 9/5. Also haven't been able to move my CG to any earlier than 9:20 though they still had the 9:40 I cancelled a few days back. Also I'm trying to move up my LTT on 9-9. They have nothing available as of today. I'll keep my 6:30 if I need too.

Quick question. I know the phones for Dining open at 7 a.m. EST (4 a.m. here) but what time do they end? I'm thinking 10 p.m. EST but I'm not sure. TIA
