**Official December 2010 Thread!!**

I have noticed that as well. I was looking for a backup in case I can't get our CRT ressie, so I wanted to see what my options were in MK at 5 pm. It's pretty awesome!

I finished my 190 day, 1 day at a time ADRs this morning. After choosing my dining date I had to log in to my Disney account and enter our WDW resort confirmation #. For every ADR I just entered the date & the time I wanted. Then I would be given an alphabetical list of all of the TS restaurants with two or three possible available times followed by the list of TS restaurants that had no availability. The was the easiest way for me to quickly decide what I wanted to select. I was able to get every #1 choice within 15 minutes of my desired time. We are only a party of 2.

Thanks for adding me! Have you ever done the sleigh ride before? I thought about it last year, but never did it. I'm also considering it this year. We're going to the Chip and Dale campfire sing-a-long our first night.... I really love all of the activities at Ft. Wilderness. DS always wants to go ride the ponies when we're there.

 

[disneybarbie]

I've not done a sleigh ride before.. thought it would be a nice festive activity! also a good way to see FW and all the decorations... we've never been to FW or WL so it'll be great to see these resorts!

I'm trying to plan our schedule to go to MK twice and I'm looking at the possibility of Christmas eve as our 2nd visit. Anyone experience this?

We chose Christmas Eve as our second MK. We figured a lot of people will want to spend Christmas Day there. We will get there at rope drop and leave when it gets too crowded for us.

Pixie dust to us both! I plan on going in the morning and doing some rides and then back later for the shows and Castle lighting etc.

The new reservation system is great! Have been able to make all the reservations we want at exactly the times we need! LC even twice== once for lunch and another time for dinner. Only wish Fantasmic could be reserved on line. Also wish CP could be booked already. Then all would be perfect.

I am loving this new system!!! I love being able to just put in a park that we plan on being at and telling the kids what is available so they can make their choice!! They each got 1 pick for a meal of their choice so far I've gotten 2 of the 3 kids pics wiht the 3rd being CRT so I have to call for that one. I've even been able to get everything and not get up earlier then I normally do. We are up at 6am so its not to much later.

Got everything we wanted, at our wanted times, except Mickey's Backyard BBQ, apparently have to wait until exactly 180 days to get it, at least online. May add 1 or 2 more, but not sure, depends on flights in and out...

The online system is so much easier. I hate calling and trying to talk to people, so this is right up my alley. Now if they just get the DVC stuff online....

180 days to go, seems like forever.....

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

I don't like calling because you can't just talk to someone, you have to go through the computer prompts first. I guess if it make the experience better it isn't bad, but I like doing stuff online. I called and go the Fantasmic Dinner Package for Dec 11.
Because of the restrictions on the Monster Pin, I have a 1 night ressie on the 11th, and another for the 12th and 13th at AKL, then we are moving to the Poly on the 14th. So I can't make any more reservations over the phone for the trip since it is split up this way. Ugh, oh well. I can get the Spirit of Aloha and CRT online anyway so I don't have to call them back..

I thought you had to call to book CRT? Is there a way to book it on-kine? Let me know how. Thanks

It has it's own page on the Disney site. Try the link below, it should work

CRT

 

[Tinker_Tam]

You can book CRT on-line. The problem is you will need a credit card and I have been hearing that the charge you for CRT the day you book and then credit it when you get there if you are on a dining plan. If you call and do it you are not charged but still need a credit card.

I don't know if that is how it works or not. I had to use my CC to reserve Akershus, but they haven't charged my card for that.

I booked CRT for last summer's vacation and I was charged the full amount to my credit card straight away (3 course set menu, tax & tip included).
For Restaurant Akershus, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Illuminations Cruise and Brown Derby (F! Dinner package) I also had to give my CC details but nothing was charged.. this is done in case we didn't show up or give 24 hours cancellation notice.. I believe the restaurants will charge $10 per person on the CC for no-shows.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, I guess CRT is special. I don't mind if they charge my card now. I won't be using the DP, and this is just one less expense while I am down there in December.
