November Fantasmic Dining Package Watch

[BeccaGrace]

Since there is some kind of glitch going on that none of the Fantasmic dining package availability has been released for November, I thought it would be helpful for all of us that are calling non-stop to check to see if it opened to have a status thread to let us know when the dates open up.

I've tried about 30 times today and have either been told that they aren't released yet or are all booked. Last call was 5 minutes ago and still not available.

PLEASE post if you are able to get a Fantasmic Dining Package for November!

as of 4:15 today, still not loaded into their system....and the wait continues....

Still no Fantasmic.

This is the first time I've ever posted to the DIS boards. I've been lurking around all day though--well really for the past week, but especially today. And I am honestly not sure if I would have kept sane without seeing that everyone else was going through the same thing I was.

I Got up at 4:30am to be ready when the online reservations went up (which was supposed to have been at 5am my time zone) but I guess we all know how that went.

I did finally get all of my ADR's except Fantasmic though. And Rainforest Cafe/AK-but that one is really no big deal.

Fantasmic IS a big deal though, and I'll be happy to help y'all keep watch! So count me in.

I have to make my ADRs on Sunday, it will be my first time using the new ADR online system. What time does the new ADR online system actually open for reservations?

I hope they release the Fantasmic Dinner Packages by then.

It opens online at 6am ET...unless it was today, in which case it was like 12:30

 

[Momw/aplan]

Online booking begins at 6:01am Eastern and phone reservations (for Fantasmic pkg, Nemo pkg) begins at 7:01am Eastern.

Or as in my time zone (Central) that was 5:01am online and 6:01am phone.

I hope Fantasmic is by...

...well NOW would be nice.

I think I'll call again.

 

[Momw/aplan]

I got a very nice CM this time, but still no Fantasmic.

At this point I think I'd settle for a very rude CM as long as they got me Fantasmic.

I just made my ADRs and when I tried to do the Fantasmic package at Mama Melrose the opperator just said there was nothing available, so I just booked a different dinner on another night. Was it not available because its not in the system? should I cancel the other ADR I made and wait for this to open up?

 

[lily23]

I got all my adrs today.The only one I could not get was T-Rex the cm thought they might not be booking for november yet because Disney doesn't own it,the same thing with rainforest.

 

[Momw/aplan]

Still no luck.

 

[Momw/aplan]

I called again. Still not up.

 

[mrsturtle]

thanks for posting momw/aplan.

was just obsessing about it again. hope it is available for booking tomorrow. if not, i may be in full blown carpal tunnel from dialing the phone and posting on the dis

My wrists actually seem to be holding up fine, but I have web-surfer's elbow from all of the hanging out on DIS all day. Plus all of the frantic ADR attempts this morning!

The good news is, there seemed to be a CM shift change at about 4pm my time, and all of the CMs I've gotten since then have been a lot less frazzled than the ones this morning. Not a single one of them has gone all Eboneezer Duck on me like some of them I got this morning did.

Now if only I could get that ADR before they close tonight! I don't want to add a whole new batch of desperate people to the pool trying to grab them first thing in the am! I really wanted to sleep in a bit tomorrow after the day I've had today! But I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that aint about to happen. Oh well. The things we'll do for a good show!

I just got back home and after calling every 30-45 minutes for the last 2 days I have gone 5 hours without calling Disney Dining!!! As I was calling, I searched the disboards assuming there would be a Fantasmic thread and of course there was!

I was told they were sold out but then after I explained to her that I didn't think they were, she checked with a supervisor & was told the dates were loaded into the system but the available packages were not and to tell anyone that calls to keep trying!

I guess I'll make one more call tonight & then try again tomorrow morning & hope the reservation system isn't down again for more "enhancements"!

Call T-Rex directly at 1-407-828-8739 to book your ADR. I did mine for late Nov. already.

 

[mrsturtle]

ok, last try tonight. at 9:40 still no packages. goodnight everyone. crossing fingers they are released in the morning!!

 

[Momw/aplan]

I'm awake. Well, not really. But I'm out of bed. Will make first attempt of the day in about 18 min when the phone lines open.

Here's to hoping it's the only attempt needed and that I'll get that package! Good luck everyone!
