hey there- i was able to book all my ressies at 190 days out so give it a try! and scary enough, it was actually tough getting a few of them- Le Cellier was totally booked for one evening.......i assume they are holding some spots for the candlelight processional packages for later, but if not- that's pretty scary!!
so what do you do that you work the overnight shift? so glad you might be getting a break and switching to a different shift!
so where did you stay in Dallas? that's where I live!
yes, on the ticket situation/dining- everyone is right, they require that each person that wants to get dining must have at least a one day ticket. I know, it takes a master's degree to figure out the ticketing process!
Yeah, I am hoping we are successful at booking these ADR's. It's become more complicated than I had anticipated.
I work in a hotel. I am SO GLAD I am getting to finally switch shifts. It's based on seniority and about 8 months ago the girl who was working nights (who was way more senior than me) decided to switch to days, so it bumped me all the way down. We have 2 overnight shifts, and I was second from the bottem in seniority, and no one had quit/been fired in the almost 2 years I have been here, until now. Thankfully, I should be able to get back to the 3-11 shift by the 21st.
We stayed at the Aloft hotel. It was pretty cool, definitely a modern and trendy hotel, a lot of the older guests didn't like it, but I thought it was great. Some of their staff was less than stellar, but the hotel itself was great. I had never really been to Dallas before, but I liked it. The rehearsal dinner was in Plano, and the wedding and reception were at the Old Red courthouse. It was a beautiful place to get married. I think I have flown through DFW before, and I have to say, I enjoyed flying into Love much better (yay for SW).
As for the ticket situation, this may change my future plans... stay tuned!
I managed to sweet talk my dad into getting up at 5 to do it (after all it's his trip too!) but I would really feel better about it if I was doing it. I might try bringing in a laptop tomorrow, but I lent my mini to my sister to use for her trip to Paris so I'd have to haul her huge heavy laptop into work, and I would prefer not to draw that much attention to myself, since I would like to keep my job. The ADR's for the 17th aren't very special, or essential to our happiness, so I won't need him to do those, they can wait till I get home, but Friday 
well we need to make our before-the-park-opens Tusker House ADR's that day... Same thing for Saturday, just at CP instead... we will see. I will cross my fingers and hope for the best!
Well, my dad stuck it out and when the system came back up, he snagged us a 7:45 pm ADR at California Grill!!!! We were hoping for 8, but this is close enough. Since we will be staying at CR that night we can make sure DS takes a late nap, and then head to dinner and see Holiday Wishes (it's a 
I wonder why theirs doesn't start till 8:05 instead of 8 like Tusker House? Wierd. Anyways, we still have to wait to call in our dinner res for CRT. I also added a lunch to our 12/18 AK day at Yak and Yeti. My dad's finally off the hook, I will be able to be home to make the rest of the ADR's (not many left at this point) but since he was the one sacrificing sleep 
I figured we should eat at a place he loves. 
I wish it was online, it's so much easier! I'm going to go looking now to see if I can find out why... That's an awesome birthday meal!
so it's not fixed. So now I am just waiting on CRT (i can book 6/19) and Candlelight processional package, which a CM told me today looks like they will be booking in August, but in the same breath she told me to check back daily, lol. We also booked our plane tix today!!
