New Dining Policy Starting Today???

[BCV23]

If the system allowed it for Good Ol Gal, I suspect that the CM you had was just plain wrong, don't you?

Good Ol Gal, I wouldn't give up. I think few people even know about the 180 plus 10. Perhaps some more tables will be released at the 180 mark.

I'm finding that things that weren't available for me a few days past 180 days like CRT I was able to get this morning at the 180 day mark. We'll be calling hoping for better Thanksgiving reservations at the 180 day mark. I'm so curious to see if that cast member was right or not. She seemed so confident about the email that she'd gotten this morning.

I just looked on the Cast Portal under "Current Advisories" and the only thing they had listed related to the discontinuance of selling LaL photos. There was nothing about any change in dining reservations.

I arrive on November 20th, so my 180 days was/is today. I was able to book all of my reservations up to November 30th. They did mention something about putting my resort reservation number on the reservations or they could be cancelled...but did not mention anything about a change in policy.

I would try back again, maybe the cast member misunderstood?

Sorry, but what are LaL photos?

Yes, that's a good idea. I know when calling Disney you can get lots of different answers. I 'm glad everyone has checked into it and even had success today! I will try again. The woman was so convincing. She said how upset people would be, etc. I'll update you.

After reading these threads i panicked a bit and managed to book my ADRs for first 10 days this afternoon - 181 days from being there. How lucky!

First ADR booked was for 23rd November and final one being 29th November. We arrive on 21st November, i have to ring tomorrow for the one on 1st December. Managed with no problem to get an ADR at CRT and didn't ring bang on 12 noon (7am) it was actually about 5pm.

I called Saturday and it was 180 days from my arrival date 11/15.I was able to attempt to make my entire stay reservations(even Thanksgiving) I got all I wanted except Cinderella Breakfast, and Play and Dine at MGM. They were both booked SOLID. The cast member told me to call back on the morning 180 days from those two days because they only release so many tables for the 180+10. I called back 2 more times and was able to get Cindy's but no Play and Dine breakfast. I was able to book a late lunch :So make sure if you call early and you don't get what you want to call back on that 180 day mark.

Play and Dine at MGM.

This isn't familar to me. Do you mind telling me what it is? We did the Little Einstein Jo Jo lunch. Is this simlar? Thanks and glad you at least got some of what you wanted!

 

[spectromagicmom]

Yes that is it. I have a 10 year of boy and a 12 year old girl and go figure when we went in July my kids loved it!. (we walked in and NO ONE was there and it was July 4th week.)That was the place they chose to go with all their cousins on our big family trip.I hope the lunch is as fun as the breakfast. I am glad it has caught on. If you have children that are young I can't imagine not going!

What about an early lunch? We had the first lunch seating last year, and they switched from breakfast to lunch while we were there. We got breakfast with our first pass and lunch after that. We liked it so much that we booked the same time for our July trip, hoping the same thing will happen!

 

[spectromagicmom]

That sounds perfect! I am going to try to switch.Thanks for the info!When I tried for breakfast the cast member said 2:40 was the only time left. I will keep trying!

Okay, so I called back and the first guy let me go past my check-in day, but no further than I'd gone a few days ago. So I called back and got an extra day planned. Who knows? Maybe I was calling another planet this morning!

My kids will be 13, 8, and 3. We went in the summer of 06 and the kids liked it although weren't thrilled by the buffet. But they want to go again because of fun and character interaction.

Sorry, but what are LaL photos?

Leave a Legacy at Epcot (the big tombstone type things at the entrance with the postage stamp size pictures on them).

I called Disney Dining today to ask. She told me that they are still doing the 180 days and you can still do the entire length of your stay. I wanted to make sure so I called 2 more times and spoke to two additional CM's that told me you still can do this. Has anyone tried yet?

It did work when I tried back for 10 days only. We are there two weeks and I wasn't able to do the end. I tried to update everyone. I spoke to someone who was clueless or something. So be sure to call and if you don't get the answer you think is right then try again. That's what I should've done.
