My ADR's......:)

[Karenpowley]

After my traumatic day yesterday (getting all worked up and apparentely ringing one day too early!!!)

I geared myself up for today's phone call.

Rang...Your call will be answered in 4 minutes..upon getting through the agent didn't recognise my Disney Reservation number (I booked online directly with Disney UK) she couldn't even find my name ,address etc...so i started to panic a little ..Anyway i was put on hold, while she spoke to reservations to find it (OMG priceless booking time being wasted i thought )
Anyway she was very apologetic and really nice and did manage to find it and gave me a different Res Number to quote if i needed to call again (this wasnt on my email i might add)

Anyway here goes:- this is what i got:-

July 15th - Tepan Edo - 6.00pm

July 16th - 50's Primetime - 6.45pm

July 17th - Crystal Palace - 8.05am

July 18th - Sci Fi - 11.25am

July 18th - Yachtsman Steakhouse - 6.05pm (Dine b4 Illuminations Cruise)
(she recommended this restaurant very highly )

July 18th - Illuminations Cruise - From fellow Diser

July 19th - Le Cellier - 6.10pm

July 20th - Fantasmic at Mama Melrose - 3.45pm (abit early but all the times seem to be early that are left since theyve cut down on how many days they show it- originally asked for July 16th but only had the other 2 restaurants and even though i Love Brown Derby, didn't want to waste 2 credits, and haven't been to Mama melrose b4.

Anyways am really chuffed - got everything we wanted for our onsite stay. Am going to try and go Beaches and Cream again while we're there, as we loved it last time and want to have the kitchen sink again!!!

After our 6 days at POP, we go onto a villa for a week (from fellow Diser ), then 4 nights Cruise (RCCL) and then finally 4 nights at HRH - Brilliant

Hope everybody gets theirs too. Good Luck!!

You got some good ones, can definately recommend YC steakhouse we had our wedding meal there and went back for our anniversary last year its gorgeous! x

 

[katytrott]

Well done, pleased it's all sorted. I rang and booked my ADRs yesterday as well, only I had to book for the last two weeks in May. I was really panicking about this as it is only 4 weeks away and during memorial weekend and star wars weekend. Out of 7 ADRs wanted I was able to get 5, but one of the two I was able to get a replacement.

Was totaly gobsmacked. All the times are really good as well. I am sure I didn't manage this two years ago and the boards have been alight with the high crowd levels

Brilliant...glad you got most of what you wanted. I too cannot remember it being this bad when i booked last time, although i think it may have something to do with them changing to 90 day rather than 180 days when fewer people booked that early as they weren't sure what they wanted.

I got the times i wanted too except for the Fantasmic.(thats abit too early) We like to have our E Meal quite early bcos of DD (7) as its such a long day to her, and we're always wacked out after 8pm!!!

What did you get by the way.

OK Got:

17/05 Tusker House 1pm

19/05 50s Prime Time 12.45pm

20/05 Crystal Palace 1.05pm (why .05)

22/05 Sci fi Dine in 2.30pm (on a star wars day as well!)

27/05 Chefs de France 12.40pm

28/05 O'hanna 10.05am

This is all for 11 people as well! There are youngsters in our party as well, which is why we thought it a good idea to have the man meal for the day at lunch time when still fresh!

Have never had ADR out of parks in resorts. Would love to try Beaches and Cream, but the above will break the bank as it is!

Exciting isn't it. I have been buzzing since yesterday. Holiday seems more real and close when ADRs are booked!

WOW!!! You did do well for all those people!

Your right it will be the hottest part of the day, so you've made a wise choice with your timings - We just thought we'd go to the parks in the mornings, have a QS lunch or breakfast then try and relax away from the parks til t-time - that's the plan anyway

I remember last time we tried to fit so much in during the day, when we went to the Pirates dinner in the evening, we all nearly fell asleep and had to leave early we felt that tired - the heat just kills you in Jul/Aug.

Your right about the 5 past oclock, i think a few of mine r like that too!!

I am soooo excited now!!!

Hi Karen. Glad you got your ADR's. Yes I phoned yesterday and was a day early. Good job rearly, because my res number could not be found. I was on phone 45 minutes. I phoned back 10 mins after and different CM found my res numbers within 5 mins. when I called back today and within 18 mins I had all first 10 reservations that we wanted and times we wanted. HOORAAY.
I'll post my list tomorrow. Just need to book final 3 over next 3 days. We can relax now, hardest job done.

 

[maleficent_man]

Great choices Karen! And how lovely of that fellow DISer to share the Illuminations Cruise.....

Just make sure you're not late...!! We may even come in and steal some of your dessert there.

So pleased you got the Fantasmic package......it seems to be the hard cookie to get these days (I didn't get the one I wanted).

 

[irongirlof12]

good choices, glad you got what you wanted

 

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

We are wondering about going to this. What did you think of it? (the bits you were awake for) Is it suitable for a 4 year old and a sensitive 6 and 8 year old!? Looking on youtube I wasn't sure about the fight scenes and I thought the whole show might be a bit long and deep for a 4 year old. What do you think?

 

[Cyrano]

Congratulations on getting the Fantasmic dinner package

No, tiredness aside - it was a great show, my children at the time were 4, 12, 14 - my DD (14 ) got roped into taking part.

The foods not great, but ok .The place is nice, we did have to stand around for about an hour in the main foyer before going into the main room - there was things going on and nice titbits of various foods to be had b4 your main meal, but we just wanted to sit down and for some reason there was no air con in this part (that may have changed now) the show was good , the actors/actresses and the big galley ship looked great!- i think it would be great for your family and i would do it again. It's just we were only there for 2 weeks DH had never been florida b4, and i tried to fit EVERYTHING in - that's why we just had to go for 3 weeks this time

Another show i booked and if your budget would stretch to it is Le Nouba. We went to the 6pm showing - i was so worried my 4 year old would get bored and she's quite a lively child 2, but she was absolutely mesmorised from start to finish, she was clapping her hands, laughing along - the people around us ,loved her reactions and told us at the end it was lovely to watch her her enjoying it so much,...I really want to do this again, but don't know if we can stretch to it this time with everything else ive booked. The show is absolutely brilliant, and you won't have seen anything like it before. Personally i would pick this show over any other - you dont get fed, but it is amazing to watch.

Well done on getting them booked. We did the Fantastmic package at Mama Melrose last year & really enjoyed it, good food & service (did'nt see fantasmic though, due to rain) we're goning to try for it again this year. Where are you going on the cruise, didn't realise you could get 4 days with RCCL?
