Thats awesome!! :thumbsup2
 
Success!:woohoo:

While I was on hold, DH called me and I put Disney on hold while I talked briefly with him. When I went back, it looked as though I'd lost Disney, then my phone rang and it was a number I was not familiar with, but when I answered, it was the Disney hold music.:confused3 Well, I was on hold a total of 25 minutes, talked with a girl, she put me on hold for 5 minutes, then transferred me to the people who apparently are handling all those second calls now.:rolleyes1 I think they all deserve a bonus in pay just for having to work this morning!!:lmao:

My DH has no idea I upgraded to the reg dining, he still thinks we're doing QS! I was so excited to get BOG, I almost let it slip when he called. I think he'll be so excited about the TS meals, though. :yay: This was supposed to be our "budget" trip, but I've been squirreling money away above and beyond what we're saving for this trip. ;) Can't wait...and tomorrow the Double Digit Dance!!:cheer2:

Anyone else just feel drained after todays activities? :laughing: I do. :rolleyes1

I did, so I took a nap! The benefits of working overnight I guess? :rotfl:

Anyway I'm glad everyone that got their reservation got what they wanted! In the end we decided to wait until this is all over and hopefully get a late CP breakfast instead. We don't have any character meals and I'm not willing to fight for BOG that hard.

I do think Disney effed this up, big time. I can't imagine all the people who won't know they needed a cc and get there, only to find out they can't dine. Talk about PO'd!

You're not kidding!! Here is something I copied from another post:

I've spoken with Disney and they've confirmed that ALL reservations that don't have a CC to support them will be flushed at 12:01 tonight. She also said that there were numerous "phantom bookings," where people who used the automated system and didn't secure with their credit cards were issued confirmation numbers for reservations, but because the reservation wasn't secured with a CC, it still showed as available in the system and others would have been able to book it. This is why so many people were able to get reservations using the automated system after agents were already saying that the days were booked.

In the event of a conflict, completed reservations with CC numbers are defaulted as the actual, real reservation, and the ones without the CC's are flushed. That first round of flushing has already occurred and you can see all over Facebook where people have called to attach CC's to reservations that are already long gone. That's why, for some, it's not a simple matter of attaching a CC to a reservation and they're having to rebook.

Bad news for those folks who didn't attach a CC, good news for the folks who didn't get reservations today. Another shot tomorrow for them.

what date do you need? I may be cancelling a Nov 30th

I was trying for Nov 30! I was on 2 phones from 7-8:15 am, called 196 times total. Went to school to get my classroom ready, called from 1-1:30 when I got back home, no luck, did school work, called at 3 and got through on the 6th try to the automated and couldn't get any dinner any evening. If you decide to cancel Nov 30 could you please PM when you will be doing so? Thanks!!
 
I called at 2 to add a BOG reservation for our possible January trip which I got. Still not sure if we are going, but all the ADRs are done. Still nothing for Nov. 29. DH said it could be a mess checking in for dinner, and maybe we should just do CS lunch instead. Which I think the menu looked better anyways, but I may still call tomorrow since someone may loose the ressie. When I talked to the CM at 2 she said that if no CC they will lose the reservation.

Hi all,
My name is Julie, I just subscribed tothis thread today, and my family is headed to WDW 11/16-11/24. We will be at MVMCP on 11/16 (our first in 7 years & I'm giddy about it). We are going to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary (11/21/92) with our kids.

Today I am SOOO happy! I was able to get through after 2 hours of trying to secure a reservation at BoG at 4:30pm on THANKSGIVING!!!! I am so excited about FLE, this is just the icing on the cake for me!

I thrilled we get to go to MVMCP PLUS experience FLE. We did not get to see the icicle lights on Cinderella's Castle, so I am so excited to see it all lit up. Our 2005 trip was one of my favorite trips, nothing more beautiful than WDW during the holidays.

Happy Day! I hope everyone here was able to get their dream reservation too! Those phone lines were a nightmare.

Have a MAGICAL DAY
