I got on the phone with a live person at 6:03 and was told that there was no availability for CRT for March 5 or 6. Does that make sense to anyone? I had her check for everything ranging from a party of 12 to a party of 4. Nothing. What the heck???!!!

The CM I talked to said CRT was not loaded into the system yet. She tried 6-7 times and she said no one has been able to get CRT.

I did however get everything else I wanted within 30 minutes.

2/27WCC dinner
2/28 CM dinner
3/1 Le Celier dinner
3/2 50's PT dinner
3/3 Ohana dinner
3/5 Kona dinner

I did not get my CRT for lunch. I will try again in a few hours.
 
Planning a Disney trip used to be fun. It isn't anymore and this would have been our 35th trip. I guess I had more faith in Disney but they sure blew this one. They had better invest in some new technology and rethink the number of people invested in their services.

I'm getting ready for work, planning on eating off grounds if necessary and wishing you all the best of luck. it will probably all work out just fine. Thanks for the updates.


well nobody is forcing you to make ADR's 6 months in advance.
it is possible to make them later or even have a disney trip without them.
relax, remember it's still a disney vacation, and it's still a long way aways plenty of time to plan and enjoy.
 
I did not find the phone to be that bad. The phone call with hold time was 19 minutes for everything. I made my adr's with a great cm. Now calling recreation, that is another story. I also got what I needed within 5 minutes and one time exactly the time I wanted! I hope everyone else gets what they wanted.
 

talking to a live person right now! getting everything:banana:,but CRT, she said it is not loaded yet.
 
This isn't a "peak". What happened this morning is not that much different from a "Denial of Service" attack -- an organized effort by a group of web users to target a specific web service all at the same time, so that it results in a failure of the service. The only thing missing, that would be needed to make it a Denial of Service attack, is malicious intent.

I think it that would be way too complicated. I've already seen three different interpretations posted of what that would even mean, and so essentially everyone would think it would work differently, and I'm sorry to say that verbose explanations of any staggered introduction would be "over the head" of many typical web users.

What makes you think that they didn't? My best guess is that they knew, and realized that there was no good way to make this switch, so they just accepted that there will be a few days of confusion and consternation, and then everything would eventually work itself out. The restaurants would still get filled; this won't affect that.



Hi Bicker :)

While I agree with everything you've said, and I find a lot of logic and sense in your words, You DO know that we are all just commiserating right now to cope with the stress of the moment right?

The number in the parenthesis is how many times I've called unsucessfully, I think i'm going to bed now hopefully the onlne system will be up later, good luck everyone!

how do you take an iphone screen shot?

Mine shows 54 calls there and 15 to the line where I'm trying to change my reservation.
 
"when she smiled I could feel the car shake".... clang clang clang went the trolley!
come on!!!!
 
Got everything! Great CM to talk to. She did get kicked out of the system once and had to go back in.

2/7 Ohana dinner
2/8 LeCellier dinner
2/9 Coral Reef dinner
2/10 HoopDeeDoo
2/11 Teppan Edo dinner
2/12 Chef Mickey's breakfast

Good luck everyone. I feel like I had some pixie dust sprinkled on me today
 
Success! Got Le Cellier on April 24th, 2:05pm! There's a bunch more I need but that was the biggest one. I'll try online later. I'm going back to bed. Good luck to everyone!
 
I think I'm about to go to bed and sleep until I feel rested then try again. I'll probably just try calling from the bed if I wake up and THEN come to the computer room if the call goes through. I'm SO tired!
 
Holding... forever after trying every minute until 6:22.

I was so excited when I first dialed and answered the questions that I dropped the phone and picked it back up like it was the freakin Holy Grail! :rotfl2:
