How Is This Possible?

[patsal]

Except when DD was 6 and I wanted CRT I have never called on the exact day I could make a reservation at the time that they open up. I have never not gotten what I wanted within and hour of the time I prefer. I have made December reservations in October, I make my July reservations in February, etc. The only time I found limited access was for a December trip when I was making ADR's for my parents who decided about thre weeks before that they wanted to go for the holidays again. I usually call about 3pm and rarely have any wait at all.
I would honestly say unless you have your heart set on one thing like a specific day/time for CRT or Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter dinner I would not want to wait on hold or deal with the AM rush.

so what song are yall listening to right now while on hold? I have no idea what it is, but is sounds like phil collins

My music was all Disney music. I was listening to Little Mermaid, 101 DAlmations, Cinderella, Mary Poppins, and more. I loved it. It was clear as can be too. Phil Collins???? That could be good too, if it were clear!

I got off the phone around 8am est. I got most everything I wanted. Mama Melrose FDP was sold out-but I was able to get the regular reservation. I'll keep calling back for a cancellation. Raglan Road has to be booked out exactly 180 days. So, I'll be calling back about RR and MMFDP. I'm happy with everything else I got
12/7 Boma 5:30
12/8 CRT 1:10 (a little late for us, but still good for a party of 6)
12/9 Mama Melrose 5pm
12/11 Le Cellier 11:40
12/11 Biergarten 6:20
12/12 O'hana 5:15

I called exactly at 6:59 and got into the que. After being on hold for 45 minutes with the music going in and out - I could not get LeCellier for a party of 2 any dates from 12/7 to 12/11 - in my opinion, it's gotten so out of hand.

I had the same problem, no ADR's available at Le Cellier for dinner for any of my dates. I got in about two minutes after seven o'clock and still everything sold out. I've always been able to reserve something there if I called 180 days out. I did get a lunch reservation at 12:15 for 12/10. I'm hoping that they've held tables for the candlelight processional dinner packages and I can still obtain a dinner reservation there when those are released.

I got everything I wanted too except the Fantasmic Dining Package at Mama Melrose. About 40 minutes on hold but worth it I think. My DD had her heart set on a couple of things.
12/7 D Spoodles
12/8 D Teppan Edo (hoping to change this to a CPP)
12/9 Spirit of Aloha (pray for good weather for my DD)
12/10 L at LTT
12/11 D Mama Melrose (hoping to change to FDP 48 hrs before)
12/12 D Coral Reef
12/13 B Ohana (took the last available seating/kinda of like brunch)
Yeah!!!!
Happy planning everyone

I made my ADRs last week and wanted Teppan Edo for 5:30pm and CM told me that those times were being held for CP so I made 6:30pm ADR just in case I can't get CP. I will cancel original ADR if I get CP so I'm sure it is the same with LC. Good Luck.

About the MM FDP, did the CM recommend you call 48 hours before? I'm in the same situation for the day before you (12/10). I need a good strategy for getting the FDP. Thanks!

 

[bamor]

I may have misunderstood her, but it didn't sound like they were even offering the FDP at MM on the 10th because I checked that night too.
I booked dinner at 4:55 and she suggested to call 48 hours before as that would be when people start to cancel so their credit cards do not get charged as no shows.
Good Luck.

I don't know if this is the case at all, but just figured I'd throw it out there...I heard DHS closes one night during PW week for a special PW event. Maybe it's that night

Wednesday 12-10 should be the night the studios are closing for the pop warner party. It's the only night that week that they are closing an hour earlier (7P instead of 8P) and it's Pop Warner week......

I made my ADR's yesterday. Was on hold an hour and 15 min. Thankfully, I was able to get Le Cellier but I was very worried that I wouldn't. CM's are very busy at disney dining right now. I wonder why since early to Mid dec. shouldn't be that busy.

 

[pilferk]

Just curious, did anyone try for an ADR at Le Cellier for dinner between 12/7 and 12/14? I was told that every date was already sold out!?!? Maybe it has something to do with them holding tables for the Candlelight Packages.

We tried on Saturday for either 12/7 or 12/8. Booked. That was 180 days of our arrival date.

We tried this morning (180 days from the date we wanted dinner) and there were a couple of pretty late ADR's available (8:55 and 9:25, I think). We passed, as with little ones late is impossible. We booked Chefs de France, instead.

The CM told us it DEFINITELY has to do with them withholding tables for the CP packages.

I got a dinner ADR for Le Cellier on 12/13. I was on hold over an hour when I called at 7am and I was very worried that I would not get one. Fortunately, there were 3 time slots left and I grabbed one. I made my ADR's yesterday on 6/9.

They hold several tables for the CP package people. Only a certain amount of tables are available for now. Le Cellier is already a small place, so with it being so popular, and it being small, there are only a specific number of ADR's available.

They were not sold out of tables as of yesterday for that week. I don't know if that's still the case right now. Your only luck might be to call back on the day the CP packages become available and try to get a table. You must call early because they are very limited. Good luck.
