**October 27 2009, 180 Day Reservation Thread**

[sgtpet]

I got through at 7:01 and was disconnected no luck since, ugh.

 

[miprender]

AARRGGHH!!!!!

Sorry just had to vent!! I have been up since 5:45am and NOTHING

 

[lemondog]

Hey I finally went from "This call cannot be completed" or "All circuits are busy!" to a busy signal. Movin' on up...

I seem to vary between those 2 messages and a regular busy signal. So frustrating! Will just keep dialing and hope for the best....

 

[Just Jack's Mom]

I just flipped a breaker.

 

[Chip's My Hero]

Anyone getting thru on cell phone

Well I just got off the phone (52 minutes and thankfully it only costs 1p per minute!) and I got almost everything I wanted.
The Wishes Dessert party is not available for april but the CM said try later for that because she thinks it will be extended to cover April as it is selling out consistently.
I got;
Tutti Italia @ Epcot Saturday 3rd April 5.10pm
Hollywood Brown Derby FDP @ HS Sunday 4th April 4.35pm
Kouzzina @ Boardwalk Thursday 8th April 6.35pm
Boma @AKL Friday 9th April 5.10pm
Le Cellier @ Epcot Saturday 10th April 4.55pm
California Grill @ Contemporary Resort Thursday 15th April 7.30pm
Good Luck to everyone!

Anyone getting thru on cell phone

no

 

[wwaleye]

I can't believe it will be impossible to get ressies for end of April in a week or so.

Have only tried the online system that says it isn't working now.

 

[JennisDisneyMom]

This sucks.

 

[cocogrovemom]

on cell phone too - verizon - no luck
Anyone get CRT yet?
I am in a hotel in CA so I got up at 2:45 with no luck.. ughh...
just started hitting the minibar... ok just popcorn and oj but sounded good.
thank goodness you guys are here. Feels better to know it will work someday.

 

[stefanospops]

I have two phone lines at home and I am contributing to the circuit problem. Redial on two separate lines for the last hour.

 

[mccathy]

Please people, remember to be nice when you finally do get through. I'm going to try - if I ever get through.

Also - I'm wondering if this is even worth all the trouble. Seriously?

LOL!



I finally got put on hold around 7:30 and just got off the phone w/ a very friendly CM, was able to get all my reservations, including MM Fantasmic. Cali Grill not loaded yet for anyone planning ADRs there. She said to try back this afternoon. Once I make the ADR, I have 5 mos to convince DH we should do a date night there, even if it is expensive


Here's hoping the rest of you get through soon!

 

[thatgirl23]

I've tried over 197 times since before 7am and NOTHING.

 

[twenty3curls]

Finally got my reservations on hold for 35 minutes even though they said less than 8!!
Lots of restaurants aren't loaded into the system yet.
I wasn't able to get Tutto Italia (not loaded) but got Le Cellier which is funny because this is the first time I didn't want Le Cellier and wanted Tutto Italia. I guess I will call another day and see about Tutto.
so....
i got
Le Cellier dinner March 12
13 March...wanted Wolfgang pucks...not loaded yet
14 March Kona Cafe dinner
15 March Planet Hollywood
16 March Mama Melrose Fantasmic Pkg
17 March haven't decided
18 March Kona breakfast and Chef Mickeys dinner
19 March Big River Grille.....got the phone number to call for this one??
20 March Sci Fi for lunch

all in all pretty happy.
Best of luck to everyone calling!

If you have the patience, I'd try again. I just got Tutto for lunch on March 15th. I forgot to specify time at first and she pulled up dinner options, which were available. So, I know lunch and dinner were available on March 15th, which is appears is during your stay.


Oh, and I heard Big River Grill doesn't take advance reservations. I could be wrong though; I've never tried.

We weren't trying for CRT, but the CM said that it's not loaded yet. It seems to be signature dining isn't loaded yet, we tried Cali Grill with no luck.
