Dining Ressies - First Week of Dec?

[mom2rtk]

Yes cafe Orleans and Big Thunder Ranch BBQ are open, still no for Blue bayou.

I will settle for Café Orleans. At least I can get my gumbo fix.

Bummer about BB though. I kept hearing about a refurb earlier in the year. Did that not happen?

So now the rumour swirling around is that POTC is going to be down for refurbishment. Will not be happy if that is the case - we missed it already in May.

Do rides normally go down for refurbishment twice in one year?

Who started this rumor?? I know the restaurant is often open when the ride is down for refurb but I can do without the restaurant I however, CAN NOT do without the ride. Its our first trip in 4 years and a handful of our parties first trip ever. Down for a day or 2 during our trip is okay but all week and I will be heartbroken.

Take this for what it's worth, but I spoke with a dining cast member and I was told the ride would not be down as a result of the restaurant being down.

At this point, on the 6th, it looks like Cafe Orleans has 3:40 pm and earlier available for reservations- but nothing after 3:40.

Interesting I can get a table of the 6th at CO but the latest is at 3:40 same thing in the 7th.
Just let you in on how my mind is working. I am wondering if they are going to offer dinner packages with fantasmic or fireworks for the holidays. I am also wondering CO is going to offer dinner for candlelight procession. I am hoping for something special to be announced. AGAIN JUST THOUGHTS, NOT RUMORS!

I just tried booking CO for the 6th and 7th, and nothing was available. I tried all different times too

Interesting, I wonder why some of us see it available and others don't. I tried December 1 thru 7, and each day had times available up until 3:40. Nothing after 3:40 any of those days. I noticed it was the case when trying the 6th and the 7th earlier- but now trying each December date- that is the case each day.
So seems like only lunch times available.

I can't wait for the park hours to be relased for the beginning of dec....it will help with my planning!

Yes I wish they would do park hours and reservation 60 days out.I am making assumptions about parade and show time and park hours. Then will change when and if I am wrong. But I feel so much more comfortable knowing I have something on the books.

I was able to get a CO ressie for Monday December 8th at 11:30am. When I was looking yesterday for the 6th or 7th I couldn't get anything to come up! So weird!!
