F&W Disney Visa Early Bookings

[carmie3377]

Bookings started today for Disney Visa Card holders. To my surprise, there was no availability for the 3D Dessert Party on 10/25 just 4 hours after early bookings started. Do they only hold a certain number for early bookings and then release the rest when general public openings open??? I meant to call right at 6 this morning (7 EST) but with getting the kids ready for school, it slipped my mind. It is the only F&W Festival event we wanted

Almost everything available on the pre-booking sold out within an hour of the phone lines opening up. Anyone who was on hold longer than 40 minutes stood a good chance of not getting any events they wanted. If you waited 4 hours to call, it's not surprising there was no availability considering the reports from "the battle lines" this morning.

Although it wasn't mentioned by Chase, it appears that only a small percentage of seats for each event (and some events were not open at all) were available today. However, if you want the "Sweet Seats" reserved seating, I'd suggest you call right at 7 eastern tomorrow. You may have to wait on hold, don't hang up. If you just want general admission you may be able to wait a bit.

Cast members were telling people different things about how much was available today, but there's no way they sold out the full final capacity of every event within an hour this morning.

Thanks. I suspected that they only released a portion but the CM couldn't confirm. There was still availability for 10/4 and 10/11 but obviously 10/25 was the most popular today

We just want general admission but I'll still be calling when I get up at 6 CST.

The CM mention something about booking online at midnight. Are the F&W events available to book online??
