12/12 - Boatwrights 10:25am (wanted 10)
Yachtsman 8:40pm (wanted 8. Now this one is funny, I asked when the next time avaliable before 8 was and she said 5:55. I paused, I just couldn't believe it)

[kt_mom]

I got most everything I wanted with a few changes.

12/7 WCC 5:10 (still need to call and get the MVMCP tickets)
12/8 50's Prime Time 12:05pm
Jikos 7:10pm
12/9 BBB 12:00
CRT 1:30
CA Grill 7:10
12/10 Tusker House 8:05am
Hoop Dee Doo 7:15
12/11 LeCellier 7:45
12/12 Chef Mickey's 9:30
Brown Derby Fanstasmic Pkg 4:30
12/13 Ohana 5:00

The LeCellier night is later than I wanted but I took it becasue I really want to try there. And I really wanted to do the Fantasmic pgk on the same day we are already doing MGM but I also wanted to eat lunch at 50's and so I had to switch days because the pkg dinner times are so early.

 

[DizzyFORDisney]

12/7 5:00pm Hoop Dee Doo
12/8 4:45pm Tutto Italia
12/9 5:00pm Mama Melrose
12/10 5:00pm 'Ohana
12/11 5:30pm Boma
12/12 5:35pm Cape May Buffet
12/13 5:05pm Chef Mickey

We'll probably cancel or pay out of pocket for one. (probably Mama Melrose as that would be the cheapest). We picked a lot of fixed price / buffets because we have good and adventurous eaters who would not be happy with the kid's menus everyday, plus a 1 year old to feed also. I really don't like buffets because of all of the up-and-down and commotion and having to get everyone's food, but at least at the HDDR and 'Ohana they do bring you your food.

The only thing I couldn't get was the Fantasmic Package for the Mama Melrose ADR - but I don't think it is necessary to have the package anyway - we shall see....

I am ecstatic that I got HDDR on on first night!! And thought it would be nice to end the trip at Chef Mickeys (maybe the baby will be warmed up to the characters at that point...more so than the first night)

Now the hardest part - the waiting......

 

[Twheezy]

After an hour and 45 minutes, I finally got all my ADR's squared away ... waited 25 minutes to book Victoria & Albert's and an hour and 10 minutes to book the rest. But it was well worth wait, since I got everything I wanted for my honeymoon right around the time I wanted.

Dec. 8 - Crystal Palace
Dec. 9 - Chefs de France (followed by Candlelight Proc.)
Dec. 10 - Chef Mickey's
Dec. 11 - Artist's Point
Dec. 12 - Boma (then going over to La Nouba)
Dec. 13 - Victoria & Albert's
Dec. 14 - 50's Prime Time Cafe
Dec. 15 - California Grille (at 6:10 so we can watch Wishes after dinner)
Dec. 16 - Narcoossee's (for dinner followed by MVMCP)
Dec. 17 - Biergarten (for lunch before heading home)

I started calling at 6:58 AM and I had no luck at all.

Now we have a large group of between 17 and 10 depending on the day but still at 180 plus days out you would think we could have gotten something!

12/7 We wanted Spoodles but they only serve groups when they first open or when they are almost closing. This did not jell well with our plans to be in MK until 7 that day (it closes early for MVMCP). I finally got Ohana which is nice and that one will work out well.

12/8 Our EPCOT DAY. We wanted Le Cellier and of course it was booked solid for lunches and dinner. I will keep calling every morning to see if we can get a CP package.
In the meantime I took Biergarten.

12/9 We wanted HHDR or Ohana but we ended up with Crystal Palace at 4:05 PM. We are coming into MK on MVMCP tickets so I hope the rumor about being able to enter at 4 PM is true because we are going to test that!

12/10 We wanted Anything in or near Disney Studios...... so that we could eat a dinner and make sure we see the one showing of Fantasmic a 7 PM. Or even HDDR at the 9:30 showing. Tried Mama Melroses...nothing! There were no openings for 10 people. No Fantasmic DInner Packages! We ended up with a 3:55 at SciFi in two tables/cars.

12/11 We wanted the Grand Gathering Safari/Tusker House dinner. There were openings when I checked last night but by the time I was on hold for over and hour the event was booked! I tried HDDR at any time and it was booked. I tried Tusker House and it was booked for dinner and Yak and Yeti will not accept reservations until 180 days out!?! I tried Narcoosee's and was directed to call them directly for any table over 8. I called the number and got a recording saying they only book 180 days out and they will take my number and call me back.

I am going to try to get Raglan Road for 12/11 but I just can not stomach to make another call right now! My ear is sore and my phone batteries are dead. Thank goodness we have unlimited long distance or the bill for today's calls would be out of this world!

I am so jealous of those of you who got what you wanted!

 

[Jamie77]

I got all the times and days I wanted except for Rainforest Cafe. I got the time I needed for CRT for dinner but they requested a credit card payment for the ADR and I don't get paid till Friday so I can't make that ADR until then. I hope I still get my time slot.

I really hope you have better luck when you call back. Also, I highly recommend using your speakerphone if you have it. I used mine when I called and if was a lifesaver!

 

[breandconsmom]

I got all the ADR's we wanted, not all the exact times, but all the restaurants. Waited on hold for 40 minutes and called at exactly 7:00 am. I am so glad this is done. I may call for a few to see if I can get better times at 180 days for that specific date. Here are our ressies:

12/7 Garden Grill 6:00
12/8 50's Prime Time 4:35 ( didn't really want this time, but Fantasmic has only one showing that night at 7 and I don't want to miss it)
12/9 no sit down going to MVMCP
12/10 Crystal Palace 5:00
12/11 H & V Play & Dine 8:15 am ( is this early enough) Teppan Edo 6:15 pm
12/12 Coral Reef 4:50 (Last night and I will be ordering a special cake to celebrate DD 13th birthday on 12/31)

Those are our ressies. I was hoping to get them closer to 5 or 5:30 but I am happy we got what we did. How can you complain when you are going to the happiest place on earth.

12/11 LeCellier 7:45

Your ADR's is 5 minutes before ours.
I made our's this morning. I dialed right 6am (my time, 7am Mickey time) and was only on hold for 45 minutes. Then as soon as I hung up with them, I was looking at my ADR calendar and noticed something that I didn't like. I originally had 'Ohana's on the night that we want to do MVMCP. I called and swaped it for Tony's Town Square. I'm so glad that I called that quickily b/c she said there were only 3 times left available for TTS for that night. I was able to get everything I wanted!! Well everything but the ADR for Yak & Yeti, but I will have to call on Friday to get that one.

I'll see you at the PTC on the 8th! I'll be there the same time as you!

 

[mickeysgirl17]

I made all my ADR's yesterday and had to wait over an hour. It must be crazy in the call center right now. I wonder why. Hopefully, it won't be too busy in early Dec. this year.

A little confused here. It is not yet 180 day mark for 12/10 according to the PS calculaator. How did you do this?

 

[christianweecare]

I booked our dining through Disney Vacation Club today when I came home for lunch with no wait. I could not get the time I wanted for LTT before the MVMCP on 12/9 so I switched to Ohana at 5:15. They could not book anything for me for the Fantasmic Dinner Package on 12/10. The CM told me to try again tomorrow. I will have to wait to book my Candlelight Package whenever they come out. Everything else is booked!
