The alarm went off at 6:55 am. It's 7:00am & DH says "Get up, you gotta call Disney". I grab the phone, the ressie #, a pen, my wallet, & the ADR's I wanted, get on the phone... it's 7:05 am. After punching in the #1 a gazillion times, 7:08am I sit there listening to "Under the Sea", "Bare Neccessities", "Cruella DeVil" it's 7:26am & I hear a beep beep beep, Nooo! the batteries dying in our cordless phone. (Yes we only have one house phone) The phone hangs up. I panic, I get the cell phone, dial the phone # & the gazillion #1's again, 7:32 am I'm listening to the sounds of Disney Movies again on the speaker, "the call volume is heavy, please expect a delay" it's 8:03 am, my cell phone starts to die, NOT AGAIN! Get the charger quick!!!DD & Dh run, we plug in the phone , it's now 8:31am when I say to DH "what should I do?" We have to drop DD off at Daycare & be at work 9:30am and I haven't showered yet. At 8:35am I heard this Angelic voice say "Welcome to Disney Dining, how may I help you? I say "Wait!! Wait!! I'm here!!" I pick up the cell phone, hit the speaker button and see THIS: "Call Ended 00:14"... The tears just well up, I scream "It hung up, OMG, it hung up!" DH yells "What did you hit?" I don't know, I'm on the floor in the fetal position crying. 8:38am DH says "Go get in the shower, I'll call back", I run to the shower,cry, brush my teeth,cry, get some clothes out, cry, when DH yells "They Picked up!" 9:04am, I'm in a towel, DH is saying this to the CM "Hello, uh, er, uh,er, can you talk to my wife?" I grab the phone and this is the rest of the conversation:
Me: Hello?
CM: Playing Musical phones today?
Me: It's been a rough morning, We've been on the phone for two hours
CM: I believe it, I have over 200 calls waiting after you
Me: Ok, well what do you need from me first?
CM: Start w/ your first day...
Me: Dec 7 Dinner at Boma, what do you have?
CM: 4:45pm & 7:10pm
ME: I guess...
CM: oh wait, there's a 5:25pm, never mind-that's for a party of 4, not a party of 3
Me: What? (that makes no sense) We'll take the 7:10
CM: Great! (Does the confirmation spiel TWICE)
This is how the rest of the convo went, after some wheelin' & dealin' we got everything we wanted, 6 ADRS, for the week of Dec. 7-13 & ignored the CM's BBB guilt trip while I was at it. She was very nice & speedy, her name was Reagan, I was off the phone at 9:08am and that's when the intestinal meltdown happened....
