Just booked 95 days from arrival

[MickeyFlirt]

I called to find out about the new policy and what day I could start booking AR's on and before I new what was happening I was booking them 95 days before my arrival date. I even got CRT for the 22nd of Oct. I than called back to book another AR and was told by 3 different CM's I wasn't allowed b/c I was out of my 90 day range but that earlier today CM's were letting people book up to 100 days in advance due to confusion, but none of the ARs would get cancelled evetone was allowed to keep them. I guess I got lucky no more worrying.

MickeyFlirt...congrats on getting all of your ADRs. However, I do hope this glitch in the system will be fixed because it definitely puts others at a disadvantage if they are waiting until their 90th day out to call. Please know this in no way knocks you- I just would like to see evryone get their fair chance at booking.

I agree with you. At the same time I was no way turning down CRT and taking a chance I wouldn't get it later. Maybe I was being a little selfish

I was able to book this afternoon too 92 days from arrival. CRT for breakfast was booked 93 days out. I did get lunch though.

MickeyFlirt, FWIW I would have jumped at the chance also. I don't think you were being selfish, just lucky!

ntburns' post illustrates my point. If CRT was already booked at 93 days out, those who are waiting until 90 days out are out of luck! I just feel if there is a policy in place everyone should have a fair chance. However, I do agree with some people getting special perks, such as on site guests having the option of booking all ADRs at one time! (I am sure I feel this way b/c I stay on site!)

I feel sorry for those who are counting on CRT- I know I am and my trip is not until Feb '06. I want to celebrate my DD's 3rd birthday there and I will be devastated if I wait until my correct time to call, don't get it, and then find out that some people were able to book it early.

Has the policy changed? Is it 90 days out or not? I don't want to miss the chance of getting the places I want to eat at?

Tell me about it...I was crossing my fingers that we would be able to get it for my dd...we're going on her "Wish trip" in October...I called today to find out it was already filled...both days were on the wish trip. Her wish was to see Cinderella and her "house" aka the castle. Yea..I know there are alot of other places to see Cinderella...but this would have been her hightlight of the trip. And were not planning on park hopping...so the place in Epcot is out to. Our official 90 day/ call day is this Wednesday....so Yes I'm bummed that 1/2 a week before I can offically call the slots are already filled.

Try again on Wednesday! As I understand they only open a certain amount of reservations before the 90 day mark. Therefore if that is correct there should still be some reservations left on Wednesday. It doesn't hurt to try, and I REALLY hope you get it! If you haven't already check out the CRT Advice thread, it gives some good tips. Good luck!

I too was able to book our ADR's between the 90-100 day window. The CM told me this is a perk for onsite guests and I had to give her my resort reservation #. CRT was sold out for breakfast, but I was able to get dinner at 5:05. I was able to get all of the restaurants I wanted, but not necessarily at the times I first requested.

O.K., maybe I am mistaken. My understanding was that on site guests still had to wait until their 90th day out to call, but the extra perk was that you could book 10 days after that (90 + 10). If there is a policy in place, it is frustrating that everyone is not on the same page.

Scrapperjill, I feel for you and your daughter. Obviously you were waiting until your 90th day out to call because that is the "policy". Now all of the ADRs are filled before your 90th day out even arrived. Keep trying, you never know!

I talked to a CM today and they did put a certain number of ressies aside for the 90 day calls. She said CRT is the only ressie that they are saving spots for. Good luck tomorrow! I will be sending pixie dust your way.*******
