Let me get this straight

If I want to book a PS 90 prior to our desired date but I want to book four consecutive days I either have to make four phone calls on four consecutive days or wait until 90 day from the LAST date and book all four together...risking the loss of a desirable time for the first PS, right?

correct

Yes, you are correct and I am living proof of it because I've gotten up everyday this week at 6:45 with my finger ready to hit the redial button and I've been on hold as long as 40 minutes. And that's even with dialing at 6:58 and the message saying they're closed and then switching over to their opening message. So I must not be the only one!

A message comes on anywhere between 8-12 minutes after 7 am saying that if you're calling for Cinderella's Table that it's most likely sold out. And today I got a message that said to call back between 1pm-8pm because they were really busy today. Everyday it seems like the message changes.

Good news for me though---tomorrow morning I can sleep in because 3 months from now I'll be using that day to CHILL OUT by the pool (hopefully) without any PS's!

Good luck!

Don't forget to use the 800# so you save the money of all those phone calls

You're right - BUT - remember that very few restaurants need that 90 day call, really just the hugely popular princess breakfasts and such. Even then, you often can snag a PS closer (we did for PSB). So don't stress too much about most of your choices =)

I have to start calling this Sunday to book our PS. Since the park hours for April haven't been released yet, I've decided to just try to book an Illuminations Cruise and the breakfast in the Castle.

I'd hate to spend the whole week booking PS then find out I need to change them once the park hours are released.

Usually unless I am trying to book CRT, I just wait until 90 days prior to the last day we want to schedule our PS. That way it gets us excited, makes me think I am getting something done toward our vacation, and makes it feel as though it is that much closer.

We are right there with you. Same days, same resort even.

I keep wishing the hours will come out. At least before the EMH days stayed the same, and you could plan. The only PS that I am making is Cindy's castle. I'm think of trying to get a couple of days, than cancelling, but really don't want to tie up $$. Plus last time I did this I always felt guilty about holding on to more than one PS, for such a hard to get ressie.
We will make the rest of our plans later.

To the OP- Do you have a cell phone, with free long distance. We have a huge bank of minutes, because cingular rolls them. It really helps with all the Disney calls.

Look at it as an adventure- each morning I got up - made some coffee - turned on the computer - grabbed the phone - and waited - at 6:55 you could feel the anticipation rising - at 6:58 you almost couldn't contain the excitment- and by 6:59 I was ready for my adventure into the world of trying to get a dining reservation - by 7:05 it was over and the excitment continued because I was able to get the ressie - the next day I did it all over again......
