Hit the 90 day mark for the second half of our split stay this morning, so called and made the last of my ADR's. The only one that was tough was Le Cellier, but I knew that would be the case, and was willing to take lunch instead of dinner, so it's all good. I was able to get everything else, including Crystal Palace, Teppan Edo and Boma, so I'm a happy camper!

Good luck to everyone else out there who still has ressies to make!

Why are you waiting until the 13th to make your last two ressies?? If your entire stay is under 1 ressie number you can call back tomorrow for the one on Sept. 10th and then wed for the one on sept 11th and thurs for sept 12.
Thats what I just did when I exceeded my 10 days. I called back each day following to keep adding the last ADR days to my trip.

 

[neatokimmo]

I was told you could only make reservations 90+10, it was a system limitation. Anything past that would fall under regular 90 day ressies. Is that not right?

Half of our party gets there a day early, that is why I called in this morning instead of tomorrow. But now that I think about it, they actually let me do 12 days of reservations this morning.

I'll call tomorrow and see what the next rep says lol Thanks for the info!

Called at 6:59, got through right away - no hold time at all. The CM did all my reservations, and when she went to check me out, the system crashed. Ugh! So we had to go back and do them all again, but thankfully, I got everything within 5 minutes of each other. Here's what I got:

9/11 - WCC - 5:25 p.m.
9/12 - Teppan Endo - 5 p.m.
9/13 - CRT breakfast, 10:10 a.m. (wanted earlier, but oh well)
9/13 - Fantasmic! dining package, Hollywood & Vine - 4 p.m. (wanted Mama Melrose but those were all gone)
9/14 - Tutto Italia, 5:45 p.m.
9/15 - Fulton's Crab House, 6 p.m.
9/16 -Le Cellier, 12:10 p.m.
9/17 - Ohana, 5 p.m.
9/18 - Chef Mickey brunch, 10:05 a.m.

I'm pretty happy, considering I think I went for every single one of the most popular resturant choices

I had a GREAT experience with my ADR. My phone dropped my call and the cast member CALLED me back She was also in the middle of looking up the EMH for Hollywood Studios because that was when they only had MK and Epcots posted. She went above and beyond

9/6 Boma 9:20, WCC 6:55
9/7 Sci Fi 6:50
9/8 Kona 7:30

I had a CM alos call me back last year after a dropped call! I was totally in awe, best feeling ever! Congrats on getting everything you want, and feeling the magic a bit early!

 

[LaceyLace]

Oh man! Do you know how much it's KILLING me watching you book dinners during my entire length of stay (9/13-18), LOL! I can't call until tomorrow morning, but I'm not feeling very hopeful at the moment.

Wish me luck! I'm wanting the ones I shouldn't be wanting apparently, LOL!

Le Cellier
'Ohana
Chef Mickey
Cali Grill
Crystal Palace
Kona Cafe

 

[landshark]

We got everything we wanted. I think the times are nearly perfect, but the dinner ones are a bit early for my boyfriend's tastes--oh well. He was up before 6am our time and was apparently on the phone for over an hour.

We're going to have to adjust the list and cancel some reservations, though, as he booked Le Cellier 3 times just to be safe. Sci-Fi wasn't on our original schedule so that may be OOP.

9/12 - Whispering Canyon (6:10pm)
9/13 - Kona Cafe (12pm), Grand Floridian Cafe (5pm)
9/14 - Yak & Yeti (11:30am)
9/15 - Le Cellier (4:10pm)
9/16 - Coral Reef (11:30am), Le Cellier (4:10pm)
9/17 - 50s Prime Time (12pm), Sci-Fi Diner (5:40pm)
