DonaldDC - OH NO! just read your post as I listen to the trolley for the 20th time - I think I would throw the phone if that happened. So sorry.
Hope you get back on soon.

Clang, clang, clang

got through again and am on hold. i know that chances are good that they will tell me to call back and they cant book anything right now, but this is like an obsession. its like they are challenging me!!! i think they are seriously underestimating the resolve of the DIS-ers...LOL!!

Well i can't get get anyone.. all i got was a ressie at t-rex for march 15 just by the number they have on the website. That was the frist phone i heard ring alll day. I guess i'll wait and try to call a little later for the rest. this is stressfull!!!

I couldn't do anything online but I made ADRs at the DINE number at 7:00 this AM. I was calling on 2 lines, my cell was constantly getting all circuits are busy, and my land line was getting complete silence and eventually the greeting started.

Good luck and hope they get everything back moving for everyone!

LOL at the header message on the website:

Book dining 180 days in advance in 3 easy steps: 1) Search for a restaurant 2) Check for availability 3) Book online

Took a break from busy signals and got through to a hold on PLAY to TRY and make a breathless ressie. Actually on hold though.

Thanks Lauren. Here's hoping that your trolley continues to clang!

They said system is down and will hopefully be back up tomorrow

I wonder if this thread will hit 250 pages today. Oooh I just got put hold for the 3rd time today.

 

[All Together Ooky]

I called at 7:03 this morning and got through on the first try-no wait. Made ressies for Chef Mickey's and Akershus but CRT wasn't loaded yet. Man, I can't believe how lucky I was! I'd say just keep trying!

 

[larryb241]

Ooops, spoke too soon. Just got HUNG UP ON!!!!

 

[JEWLSVERN]

I was able to make ADR's this morning. I got through right at 7am. Got everything but CRT still working on that one. It wasn't loaded yet.

 

[Figment1990]

sigh.... now I'm back on hold. I will flip out if I get told things are not able to be booked. I have literally been at this at 3 (and then straight since 6) now. PLEASE work! and PLEASE WORK for all of them... I have 15 ADRs to make!

PS - I was a 3am-er on sept 18th for our dec trip and had no problems. really - they thought this wouldn't be an issue, 3 months of ressies on 1morning???????

 

[mousebymarriage]

Maybe it's just the DVC system because I got ressies a little while ago. I started trying online at 5:55am but it just wouldn't work after multiple multiple attempts. I started calling after the kids went to school because the trip is a surprise. I called CONSTNTLY for over 20 minutes and kept getting a busy signal or "were sorry all circuits are busy" finaaly I got through but spent the next 28 minutes on hold before I spoke to a CM. I was able to get all my ressies with no problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

If the system ends up down until tomorrow I think we should all write letters to WDW Guest Services. They should have been better prepared for this! Or they should have staged the 180 window. As in Oct 27th is for reservations up to _______, Nov 27th for reservations up to _______, and so on.

I have been disconnected 5 times, on hold 7 times and bumped off the online system at least a dozen times. Not good customer service.

 

[n2mm]

Just called MS and told the dining system is still down.

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Making mine now! Yippeee!!!!! Getting everything I want:

4/19 Planet Hollywood (D)
4/20 Whispering Canyon Cafe (D)
4/21 Donald's Safari Breakfast (B)
4/22 Liberty Tree Tavern (D)
4/23 LeCellier (D)
4/24 Sci Fi (L)

 

[gigi729]

We were able to get through this morning on the phone at 7am and made about 15 ADR's for March...could not get Whispering Canyon or CRT as the times were not loaded into the system yet. So keep trying the system is definitely NOT down or at least it wasn't then. Whoever told you it has been down since last night is misinformed. Good Luck!

 

[goofy53073]

so how much of my day do i waste listening to ringing and busy signals,LOL! been up since 3am and getting a little silly now

 

[Ellie42699]

Got everything we asked for! The CM was wonderful. She input a couple of reservations then saved them immediately because the systems were so slow, and she was concerned they would crash and lose my requests. This is what we got:

4/17- 5:40 Liberty Tree Tavern
4/18-5:30 Chefs De France
4/19-5:30 Le Cellier
4/20-6:00 Captain's Grill
4/21-5:30 Teppan Edu
4/22-5:30 Coral Reef
4/23-Fantasmic dining package @ Mama Melrose

Good luck to everyone still trying!!!
