My 180+10 Day- Tired-- but painless!!!

[tinkerhon]

Luckily, DW set alarm for 530am, or I would still be sleeping---!!!
Had 2 iPads and a tablet loaded and ready to go!!!

Got everything we wanted--- included "BoG" twice--- once on our MVMCP nite, and once for our last night, (that's become tradition)

Got Dessert party--- (noticed that not that many nites available--- possibly due to MVMCP? )

Got T-Rex on-line---- CP, Ohana. (Bfast and dinner) Tusker house bfast

Only problem we had was Thanksgiving--- wanted "BoG", but ok with "Liberty Tree"

Now just need to call for "Pirate and Pals"--- (they really need to make available on-line)

Ok---- back to bed!!! I get hr of sleep before the kiddies get up for the new "Sofia" episode!!

Yay for getting the ones you wanted!! My ADR day is Tuesday, and I'm nervous! Lol. It'll be our first trip, so first ADR experience

Thanks so much!! It's so sad, but I've been stressing this for a week!! Lol

I used a new trick--- at least for me---- started forward from 11/27 on one iPad, and worked way back (from 12/6) on the other--- was able to get "BoG" by day 3---- that's where the "working back" came in handy!!!

Good luck!!!

You are so lucky. I have been up for hours and the website is not working for me. Just waiting for the phone lines to open. Feeling very depressed at this time.

Same happened to me yesterday when I first tried to book--- kept saying server not available--- I had to keep refreshing page--- hope you were able to get all your adrs!!!

 

[Mambo Junkie]

I did - I waited until the phone lines opened up and I got everything! Thanks for asking! During the hour we had to wait for the phones to open we tried different browsers, google vs google chrome, IE vs Firefox, and nothing would work. It was so nice to hear a soothing voice telling me yes, I could get BOG or CRT on the day I wanted them. While I was making the reservations for dining, I had my son on another line making plans for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I really hope the fast pass system isn't like this! I'll be out of luck.

What do you mean by had the Ipads "loaded"?

 

[dixie368]

Well, my Ipad wouldn't load the times, just sat there and spun... lol. So I ran to my office and was able to get almost all of the ones I wanted!
I got everything except for BOG of course... and Didn't get the Crystal Palace at 8 that I wanted, got 8:15, so maybe that will be okay!

I'll just keep checking every so often and hopefully I'll get those!

I'm doing this tomorrow night. How do dining reservations work on party nights? I am going to one of the very merry parties. Do they just accept reservations until 7?

just that they were all ready to go--- Had signed in, so that my dates would appear (the 180+ 10 dates), and set to the reservation page

So it doesn't freak out the system to be logged into multiple devices or even browser tabs?

I could not make my ADRs online this morning. I tried my laptop, iPhone and the app. I could see my dates, but every time I tried to find a table past November 30th I got an error message. It was VERY frustrating. Thank goodness I was able to get everything I wanted (except BOG) even if the times aren't what we hoped for.

I STILL can't pull it up online. I am guessing the rest of my trip will open up when each day hits the 180 mark? Dh can do it from work but can't check as often. I'm pretty frustrated not being able to do it from home.

It depends on the restaurant. If they are open after 7 they will take reservations during the party, but you have to have a party ticket for that night in order to eat after the party starts.

That might be my best shot. Is there a list of which restaurants are traditionally open?

I worried about that too, but it worked just fine

CP opens at 8 officially, but the first ADRs they have are 8:10. So you did about as good as possible.

Can someone refresh my memory, online opens and what time and phone opens at what time? Or are they the same. I'm DVC and we often have different times for each so I'm confused now.

 

[Priory]

I think online is 6am EST and phone is 7am.

I'm on the west coast and my window opens at 3am "tonight". I'm just going to stay up because I'm petrified I'll sleep through it.

Work is going to be NO fun tomorrow.

Yep, your times are correct !

Good luck !

Mine opens tonight as well. No need to be scared. Just prioritize and be ready. Life doesn't begin or end w/ getting ADRs and most aren't hard to get. Deep breath!

You were so right! That was actually a breeze. Got BOG dinner, CRT, Le Cellier, and almost everything I wanted.

No Fireworks Desert party available (not really surprised). I am on the phone holding now just for fun to see if an agent can get me in, but I don't care if they can't. I'm so thrilled this all worked out.

The only really odd thing is there were absolutely no Brown Derby Fantasmic reservations available on any of my days. The other two restaurants were wide open. I wonder if that was a glitch or if it really sold out within minutes.

Oh well. Now I just have to wait for 6 months. With my level of excitement right now, I feel like I should be leaving any day!

P.S. the dining phone menu was obnoxious. stop asking me questions and get me a darn agent!
