Official December 2008

kadee - yes I would keep calling as it gets closer. MVMCP I'm sure does have something to do with it, but someone is always going to change their plans. Since you are already in the 180 window, it should not matter that you haven't gotten your tickets yet. Good luck, I'm trying to change one of my dinner reservations times also, I'm going to keep calling back every couple of weeks and see what happens.

 

[kadee_29]

I went ahead and ordered the tickets. I will keep trying as our date gets closer and hopefully something will open up.

Good luck on getting yours changed.

Our ADR's are done!! I was able to get almost every time I asked for.

12/14 Sci-Fi (DH's choice)
12/15 H&V Character Breakfast
12/16 LTT wanted 6:30 got 4:20
12/17 Garden Grill
12/18 1900 Park Fare
12/19 Crystal Palace Breakfast

I really didnt want to eat at LTT that early. Do I call closer to our date and see if anything opened or is it pretty much a lost cause because of MVMCP?? Also does it matter that I don't have the tickets yet? I planned on getting them sometime this week.

Yeah, we got a weird LTT time before MVMCP also, I had our TA change it to a lunch time instead, but we are going to keep trying for dinner. I think the characters are only there for dinner, is that right?

I just looked it up and you are right. Dinner with the characters starts at 4 p.m. I didn't even think about having our TA do ours. Maybe I will have her keep trying for a later time.

The tickets do make a difference. The resturants only will accept ADR's for non-MVMCP guests till 6pm, anything after 6pm needs to have a MVMCP ticket. If you bought your tickets, call back today and tell them that you have your tickets for the party and they should let you book something after 6pm.

I know this because We are going to MVMCP the 16th also and the CM explained this when I went to make ADR's for that night, since you could make ADR's for the party as soon as you purchased your ticket.

My 180 day mark was today also and I got everything I wanted.

Monday 15th- Chef Mickeys 5:20pm
Tuesday 16th- Crystal Palace 8:05am, Tonys 5:00pm
Wednesday 17th- Kona 10:00am, Teppan Edo 5:00pm
Thursday 18th- Boma 8:00am

When I had the CM on the phone she didn't say anything about the tickets or I would've told her that I was purchasing them. I did go ahead and get them today so maybe I will call and see if I can get a different time.


Quick update...I called back just now and was able to change it to a later time. Thank you for posting about that for me. I didnt even think about needing the tickets ahead of time.

Your welcome! I'm glad I could help!

Just noticed that the ears-to-ears site has the Candlelight Processional narrators listed ... and we'll get to see one of the "High School Musical" actresses on our planned CP night ... ohhhh, booooyyy!!

Haven't called yet to see if we can make CP dinner package ADRs ...

And speaking of "HSM" - how many of you (and your kids ...) watched "HSM3" last night?

 

[corinascot]

Just made our ADR's for the trip. Got everything I requested at the times I wanted. In fact, it seemed like there were plenty of choices. I think we're going to some of the less popular places to try something new (1900 Park F. instead of Chef Mickey's or Crystal Palace, etc.) so that might have made a difference.

Now I'm just waiting for the Southwest schedule to open up next week and hopefully I can book our air.

What an Airmess! I was lucky enough to hear on the radio that Airtran (which we have low price tickets for) will not be flying out of Newburgh NY airport any longer as of Sept 3rd!!!!

I was out of town on a conference...no confirmation numbers or anything. After some frantic phone calls, one of which to Airtran to confirm this mess...who else do I call when I need something? Come on...am I the only 30-something-married-with-children- Daddy's girl? I am??
Anyways, he's computer savvy and although he is not even going on this trip with us, I was able to sweet talk him into doing some research for me to find new cheap tickets for our trip. I was in and out of meetings all day thursday and friday so couldn't hop on the internet at all, but he was lucky enough to find us some Jet Blue tickets for just a smidge more $$ than our Airtran tickets. I snuck on a computer later that day and booked all 6 of us. Hurray...I guess. Just a bit of stress I didn't need.

Ugh!!! Anyone else effected by airtran's high quality business ethic? Actually I can't blame them, it was probably the airport...I have no idea of the reason, but I do know that I still haven't gotten a formal notice from them that our flights no longer exist.

Sorry that was so long!! I only have to change one ADR, no big deal.
Hope anyone else effected is finding new tickets quickly, before many others find out and scoop up the cheap Jet Blue tickets.

Well, the week of my 180 day mark my computer crashed for good! So thankfully, I had all my ADR's planned how I wanted them before that! See, all that early planning paid off! Here's what I got...

Dec 11th: Chef Mickey's (B) and Mickey's BBQ (D)
*DH's birthday!
Dec 12th: Chef Mickey's (B) and Crystal Palace (D)
*DS's third birthday!
Dec 13: Tusker House (B) and Ohana (D)
Dec 14th: LTT at 6:20 and MVMCP
Dec 15th: Ohana (B), Coral Reef (L) and Garden Grille (D)
Dec 16th: Hollywood N Vine (B) and Mama Melrose (Fantasmic Dinner)
Dec 17th: Crystal Palace (B) and Chef Mickey's (D)

This will be DS's first trip to the world and I am hoping a lot of character meals will keep him happy during meal times!

Also, I have read on a different board that the CP Packages can be ordered starting this Monday! June 23rd at 7am!!! So for those interested, be ready to call on Monday. I hear they go quick!

The DH and I have decided to skip this, I know, it upsets me, too! I just don't think DS will make it through it and I don't want to ruin it for everyone else with a cranky toddler! We'll just have to go back in a few years when he's bigger!

We had thought about going and also decided against it because of the kids. I don't think either one of my boys would sit through it. Just gives us a reason to go back.
