Aaand now I just get a busy signal when trying to call.

What did you find out? Any idea about the food or location?

According to the person I spoke with, RBT viewing is considered "stage left" or across from Cafe Orleans. BB seating is down by the canoe launch. The reserved viewing areas will be cleared and roped off an hour prior to the start of the show and only a limited number of FPs will be available for each section (like WOC dining). RBT diners will not be allowed to watch the show from RBT tables; "late" seatings will be encouraged to get a FP for the second show. (This part was a bit confusing to me, but I imagine we'll get varying info from others and will have to figure it out over the next few weeks.)

Hope that helps!

After about 25 minutes on hold I got a wonderful cast member who told me she had lots of options for me and easily found me times for Christmas Eve at River Belle Terrace. She also told me the only people seated for the show would be the Blue Bayou package. Bummer. But at least I got in. She said she was surprised there was so much interest considering it was a 20 year old show. Really?

Just hanging up ... try now! but my cast member didn't sound very happy - not rude just irritated!!

.for Christmas Eve at River Belle Terrace.

How fantastic -- can't think of a better way to spend Christmas Eve!!!! -

did she offer much info about the different seating areas.....I couldn't get much out of my CM except that the BB would have cushions

Everyone is probably asking the exact same questions lol. It's going to be a long morning/day for them.

That was exactly what I thought. You could hear everyone in the background explaining the same thing, so I just kind of gave up and listened to the background comments and then figured I'd come here and get all the in's and out's. I actually felt like saying "oh you poor thing, I bet you wish today was your day off"

Just got off the phone with Disney and they had NOTHING left for the Blue Bayou package for Dec 29-30-31. I'm SO disapointed!!!!!!!

Already -- oh no I'm so sorry, I guess more people know our little secret than I think.

I think it's my unlucky day also. I checked our reservations and she only booked us for 8 instead of 9. Hope that doesn't cause a problem.

We'll out first choice (12/12) was full for bb, but I was able to get our 2nd choice 12/14.

 

[AussieCaribou]

wow. I have been trying to get on to disney dine for an hour. Still ringing busy. Just saw that our dates for BB are booked out. Is it even worth trying to stay on to see if we can do one of the others? I don't look forward to standing for the entire Fantasmic.

 

[Jozymouse]

I just hope that something will pop up eventually since i find it strange that the system has been unavailable since midnight to book the packages and i called the dining number as they opened, waited 30 minutes and everything is sold out for those 2 days? Doesnt make much sense.....

 

[AmberStar]

So is the show moving to standing only?? That way they can pack more in??

We've never seen the show and are rolling the dice with being able to get a regular fastpass (as a group of 10) and if it is standing room only there is no way it would be worth our time. I'm skipping WOC for this exact reason since there is no way my kids could see over other peoples heads.

 

[Jozymouse]

I called the passholder number then pressed the option for dining and was put in the queue. Still waited 30 minutes but at least i was in the queue. Maybe you can try it!
