It's been 40 minutes and I am still waiting. If someone actually does get through, could you please post a note letting the rest of us know? At least give us some hope of getting in before having to leave for work.

After holding on 2 phones forever I got through on 1 and hung the other one up - only to be told the system is down - call back!!! Now I have to start all over again!

I got thru and put on hold at 6:59 this morning on my phone and was on hold for 58 and conting min. with the (407) number. I hung up on my cell phone (while still on hold with my home phone) and got thru on my cell phone after 14 min. That just seems crazy to me, wouldn't it seem like they would answer in order of call received. Anyway I am done now, did get GF garden for $294 a night April 21-25. Good luck to those on hold, if you had 2 phones maybe hang up and try again, I would still stay on hold with the one phone.

That is how I always thought they did it! How disappointing...haha

I got through on the 1-800 number and put in my ressie number

someone posted that their system went down though...

 

[cstraub]

I slept late~~ On hold now
At least I woke up dreaming about the Fort Wilderness Cabins!! LOL

 

[Liz]

Every available CM must be booking rooms. I've been on hold for 50 min. and that's with DINING!

 

[Mickey Fliers]

what is the 800 #

 

[bgula]

Called right at 7 and was on hold for at least 40 minutes. Finally got thru and apparently there's either nothing for FW or they were all gone already! Would have been good for only 3 days of my ressie, but it would have been better than nothing! Anyone else get FW for July 2 >?

Hi!

One of the hour long holders here...

Just got through... yes, they will eventually pick up! Got exactly what I wanted POFQ May 10-17 $109 per night.

I can go to work now...

Good luck all!

 

[ninaeve]

I started calling at 6:45(5:45am my time). Didn't get put on hold until 7am.
I held for around 31 minutes, talked to a wonderful CM named Monroe for another 25 minutes. Had to cancel my 1st ressie, change resorts, but I finally got a room in POR for $109/night.
No standard rooms at Ap rate at CSR were left when I tried.

I am very happy even though the savings are not as big as I hoped...I finally got a very nice, courteous, funny, and very helpful CM!!!

csr not available!!!!I am so bummed

 

[fun & fancy free]

Called the 1-800-828-0228 on hold for 37 minutes. Talked to a very pleasant Amelda and I got WL woodsview $165 a night for May 7-14. With tax $183.98. I was also quoted $219 for CR. I am soooooooooo happy. Good luck to those on hold. I hope you get what you want. FYI for those of you who got the rate last night, Amelda informed me that those CM's were let go this am and are now out looking for jobs. She stated that they manipulated the system to get it to work early. That would explain why some got it last night and other didn't. Amelda was so sweet I hope you all get her.

Ooh, I called on the 800 number.

We began calling (using two land lines) at 6:57 a.m.--got through at exactly 7:00 a.m. and were both promptly queued to hold. DISDiscountman (my husband) was answered before me (I was still on hold even though my call went through first ) after a 25 minute wait!

Unlike last year, we were (or I should say HE--he wanted full credit ) was successful! AP rate was available for our GVC stay at Polynesian 6/11-19/05! Last year we were blessed with a DVISA discount, but were shut out of an AP by 7:10 a.m.! The difference was only $5 p/night, but still--I felt the AP wasn't as "valuable". This year, I'm glad I renewed!

The rate is more this year than last, but rack rates are more this year than last. The discount for AP last year was 26%--this year a flat $100 off of rack (pre-tax). In our case the rack rate was $455 p/n ($509.60 w/tax) less the AP discount ($100 p/n) = $355 p/n ($397.60 w/tax). Rack rate for this room last year was $440 p/n pre-tax ($490 w/tax). The AP rate last year was $325 p/n pre-tax ($364 w/tax). As you can see, the AP was a better discount last year!

In any event, we are happy to snag a rate this year! Now, I'm thinking of adding a night on the front end of the vacation. Currently we have a great postcard rate at CBR for the first and last nights (arrival/departure). We're considering dropping the CBR first night and just heading to Polynesian. I guess we'll leave it up to fate (or CRO), IF we can add a night at AP, then so be it--IF NOT, I guess we'll be at CBR!

Good luck to everyone else!
