Just called and got every resturant I wanted!!! woo hoo! I had been worried because ppl were saying they couldnt get ressies at certain places, I was kind of flexible, but managed to get them all including Ohanna and coral reef(dinner)!!!!!
some things I noted were that they now ask you "when is the earliest time you want to eat?" so if you say 5pm they may say nothing comes up from 5-6pm but if you tell them check 6-7 you may end up w/a 6:15.
I set the alarm for 6:30 to made the call @ 7am on the dot! the first time I called it said the office was closed. as far as strategy I was kind of screwed (as the calendar didnt come come out yet so I used a link for the disney TA calendar) first figured out which park we would be at for the day(we wont have PH) then I had backups ex: I wanted CM for 9/2 and there was nothing! so I chose another day that I would be at mk(the 7th) as its very easy to get to CM from there. and it was available. I then asked her to check CP for the 2nd and that was available for 6:15.
. so I basically just reversed my dinner plans CP & CM. for coral reef I have 2 days I would be at epcot so I was prepaired to reverse coral reef & garden grill but didnt have to, I asked for 6 and got 5:50, pretty awesome, also As soon as I got on the phone with her I asked her to do the coral reef ressie first, ohanna 2nd ect. so instead of going in order (Sept 2nd, 3rd, 4th ect) I went by which adr was most important to me. and she was only making 5 adr's at a time and then she had to log back on and make the rest. she said she was doing this in case the system went down
let me know if you have any other questions I was totally stressing too
