Got what I wanted....sorta

[FSUSammy]

So today was my 90 day mark for our May trip. The first restaurant I asked for was Le Cellier (of course) and of the two dates I tried I ended up with a 7:50 adr, not horrible, but also not my preferred time. I'm going to try calling again tomorrow to see if they have opened up any more for that date since tomorrow is 90 days from that date.

I also got Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace both close to the time I wanted.

So overall not a bad experience. I did have to wait for almost 15 minutes to get someone on the line though. And that was with me calling 3 minutes late (according to my phone)

Pretty good! I am still on hold (1 hour into the process) and have not successfully been able to make 1 ressy yet (already had CRT and CM). I need 5/27-5/30, so I need to speak to someone on the new system.

Did you want Le Cellier for 24th May? I am getting a little concerned now as I can't call until tomorrow for mine and I want Le Cellier for 25th May.

I've already booked Chef Mickeys for 27th May. I wanted 5pm and took 5.35pm which was absolutely fine.
But I also want a FDP at Mama Melrose. I can see I'm going to have some problems tomorrow.

I wanted the 23rd but the time they had was too late so has to settle with the 24th (this was a party of 3 if it matters)

you got pretty good ones .......I am anxious for Le Cellier and Crystal Palace....two of my favorite places. Have fun planning

Just curious, did they ask for your reservation #? This morning I made Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace ressies and the CM never asked for my res # just my name. Last year the res # was the first question I was asked. Should I call back?

Thanks for that. We are a party of 4. I would take anything between 4pm and 6pm although 6 is my preferred time. If I have trouble I will try swapping the day with my Tutto day.

I have never had any trouble getting ADRs in 6 trips at all different times of the year including
getting Le Cellier during free dining. I didn't imagine it would be so tricky in May!

Yes they did but after I picked the time I wanted for my first ADR.

I got Le Cellier today for May 25th and 7:50 was the best I could do.

I don't think they are as concerned about your ressie # than your phone #. Your name should already appear in the system. I'm sure they took your phone # and that is what they have everything under.

Thank you thats very helpful.
I will swap my days and hope to get Le Cellier on the 29th instead.

He asked when we were checking in and at what resort, then he did ask for a phone number associated with this reservation. So I guess that is all they needed to see our reservation number which makes sense since they are the ones who gave us the res# to begin with, they should have it.

We got LeCellier on May 25th for 5:30. We also got Chef Mickey's on the 27th. We might run into each other!
