MVMCP and LTT Booked Nov 30th! Now What?

[tina95]

This is our first trip to WDW. I purchased tickets this morning for the MVMCP on Nov 30th. I then tried to make reservations for LTT, only to find them booked solid. Now what? We plan on spending the afternoon at the bay on the boats, and then go for the Party. Where would you eat? This will be our first day.
TIA

Our first year we ate at Ohana and then took the monorail over, it was a nice way to start the evening. Last year we ate at the WL and took the boat over to the MK. Just give yourself plenty of time to eat and then get to MK right at the start of the MVMCP and you should be fine.

I believe that Crystal Palace reservations will open up right at the 60 day mark!

How about having dinner in the Castle.

What exactly were you told? I only ask because many people (myself included) were told that LTT was completely booked when we called for MNSSHP. It turned out that CMs are not always aware of the procedures for this special booking (meaning, more than 60 days out). I called a second time and got a different CM, who explained that if you simply put that date into the computer it will show as "not available" because it is more than 60 days out. There is a different procedure they need to follow to make the PS, the second CM was reading the instructions while I was on the phone. I did get the PS for exactly the time I wanted. So, the moral of the story: You might want to try again and make sure they are aware that it must be booked differently. Good luck!
