Don't do that! I mean, don't wait! You might lose out on some hard to get reservations like BOG and CRT! Call them and make your reservations. It seems that anyone that booked with the Visa FDing offer is having this problem (including me) but if you call, you can make all of them easily!!

I had to wait, it was time for me to go to work. LOL I called as soon as I got home. I was able to get most of what I wanted, but not so much the times I wanted. And I had to switch a couple of days.
I tried to get reservations for the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party, but she said there were no tables for that yet. (like they may not have it - ?)

I was able to book the dessert party for 11/18 earlier today. No availability for 11/19. Not sure what dates you were looking for.

That's the date I wanted. This morning when I checked online, it didn't show any then either.

I just checked online again. It has the date bold now, but no tables available.

Hopefully someone, besides us, will have to cancel!

Yes! I'm going to keep checking.

Seriously, what is up with the hold times? I get the days FD are announced. I get right at 7 am for dining. But waits every time I call are about an hour! We just want to check for an earlier BBB time. We've called at all different times. DH and I both work full time so it's not like we can stay on hold all day. DH asked when things will calm down, and I told him probably never, seeing as everyday is a new groups' ADR day. Have they reduced the number of call center CMs? I really wish BBB and PL could be done online, but first I would just like online to work!

I'm a little frustrated that CM told me they were full for the wishes dessert party when I called sunday and then other people got reservations for the dates I requested. Oh well, if I get one I get one, its not a huge deal It would be nice if their system worked though lol So frustrating to not be able to do things that SHOULD be doable by yourself instead of waiting on the phone for 30 minutes.

I called this number to make a reservation for my daughter and I to get pedicures at senses and she was also able to book my daughter's mermaid thing at Pirate's league, too. Maybe call this number for BBB, also!! 407-939-7727 It was answered right away when I called!

That is AWFUL that you guys were told they weren't booking for the fireworks party yet!! I totally booked that at my 180!

I called that number too, and it was answered right away and while they said it was the wrong line, they still made the reservation for me

I went in September last year and I'm contemplating booking Nov 7-15. Does anyone know the comparison of crowds between sept and Nov? I loved the lack of crowd in Sept.

I think Sept is like Jan....pretty low crowds. Jan is when we used to go. We switched to Nov last year for Free Dining. I would say it was twice as busy but very manageable (a crowd level of 1/2 vs 3/4). Some places/events in the parks were busy/packed and some were almost empty.

Agreed. November is "busier" but not enough to express any concern. We have done October and November over the past 2 trips and the crowds have been very manageable. We noticed bigger crowds on the weekends but M-F not bad at all. The F&W Festival def attracts a lot of people, especially for people doing weekend getaways.

I was able to make my ADR's today. SO exciting. I was able to get everything I wanted, I just need to watch The Tuskerhouse, to hopefully get an earlier reservation for lunch. I didn't want BOG dinner reservations, but checked just to see and there was no availability for any of the days we are staying.

Has anyone had any luck getting chicken nuggets at Garden Grill or Ohana? I read about Ohana on a blog and they said you could request kids food. I just want to be sure, I have some picky eaters.

I would also love to know if you could get chicken nuggets at ohana.

Last year we got Mac and cheese at Ohana for my DD. There were other choices too but I can't remember what they were.
