Minnie's Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine

[ldauksch]

Someone in one of my fb groups so they read somewhere Aug 3. Not sure where she got the info but just thought I would pass it along in case there is any truth to it.

What's terrible is I am sure most people only have one day planned for HS, so we have to wait for this to move on with our obsessive planning!

One day planned for HS....??? LOL I had 0 days planned for HS until I read about this. ;-) Now I just have dinner planned at HS....if they ever let us book an ADR for it, that is!

I'm with the rest of you, I'm waiting to be able to book this reservation. I have a reservation for the Hollywood Brown Derby with F at the moment but I am trying to do all the Special Christmas activities so I'm going to cancel HBD when H & V opens up. Here's hoping that I get the reservation for this special event.

Finally talked to the most helpful CM tonight. Grant it, I am debating if my "please hold while I get some more info" was just so that they could get coffee or water.

The lady gave me the complete run down about prices, dates, etc.

She did say it opened for booking on July 1 but I was quick to correct her that it was not available to book currently and shows no dinner times were showing from November until after Christmas.

She said she was going to talk with her supervisor about why it wasn't showing up.

The supervisor stated that it was an IT issue and they were working on it. (wanted to call BS but had no ground to stand on)

She said her supervisor said to keep checking back and see when they get it fixed.

I had one day planned at HS but figured we could go after our AK day for dinner. Not that big of a deal.

What dates did she tell you?

she didn't give a date. She said to just keep checking

I had a CM who also told me it was supposed to open up for booking on 7/1. If they are still having an IT issue then they need to put some more money into their IT department since it is now almost 7/22. I'm with you it's not an IT issue that is preventing us from being able to book it they just don't know or can't tell us.

I was also told it was a "glitch" a few days ago.

I'm curious if the glitch is the assigned-seat testing for Fantasmic. Would they eliminate Fantasmic meals if they assign all seats? Or maybe let you prebook your specific seat when you reserve?

 

[quakechicago]

I think the glitch is the Fantasmic seating. Or the other ppl who previously booked F! have better assignments and that can't happen.

But also I was told an additional dessert party rumor from a helpful CM. So maybe it's just a big huge mess.

Nothing as of 6AM Wed July 22nd...

I'd be surprised if F! had anything to do with it, since we've been able to continue to book MM and HBD F! meals during Nov/Dec? But who knows at this point.

This happened with the introduction of Rebel Hangar for SWW - it got leaked somehow and it was weeks before they actually had it available for booking. And every call resulted in varying info from different CMs, just like this. But with this much info out about Minnie's Holiday Dine, I'm confident it will happen, now it's just a matter of when.

Can I ask what the dessert party rumor was? I've been wondering if they are bringing back the Frozen package this year?

 

[quakechicago]

The CM said he really couldn't say....but he said that we should "bring warm clothes because he believes it's going to be icy cold down there (in November)....in fact, we should keep our eyes open because it might even be so cold there's a big risk of things being very, very *whispers* frozen...."

They had a Frozen holiday dessert party last year, but it didn't have a Fantasmic component, as far as I remember. (We ended up canceling due to the price, so I'm not 100% sure). It was in corrolation with the Osbourne lights. It did help distribute guests a bit in the evening at Christmas.

Oh wow! I know I'm practically alone but I LOVE DHS! I love the rides granted I know it's limited but I do have high expectations for this park and I can't wait for them to revamp and add more attractions. I love all of the parks but for so many different reasons. now, they just need to open up booking so I can finalize our plans! I know my kids will love this and this is our first trip during Christmas.

You're not alone! We too love DHS. It's our 2nd favourite park

Yes, you are exactly right, and it was pricey. But with the return of FSF, I figured this would come back as well.

Oh man! So now I might have to fit a frozen holiday dessert party into the budget and plan now too!! There's no way I could miss that with a frozen obsessed 6 year old DD!
