Got it!!! May 15th and 4:10. Guinea Pig Dissers assemble

I called 30 minutes ago for this exact day and time and was told it was booked the entire day. I kept making the CM check and she kept telling me nothing was available. I called back and got a much better CM. I wasn't expecting to get the time I wanted and hoped to just get the day, I got the same time and day. I just wish I didn't have to sit on hold twice.

That's the trick. It just has to be an experienced CM who knows how to do it. Or one that takes direction well.

May 23rd 7:30/8pm or so. Do you think we'll have a chance by phoning tonight?

I can check for you right now, for how many

Took me four calls CMs to get reservations, but I was able to get two (party of 5 and party of 4) for the same time (6 pm on June 12). All three previous CMs said completely booked full. This CM tried checking every 15 minutes (with different party sizes). She was great. Keep trying even if they say booked.

Just booked it for 7pm on June 5th! SO EXCITED!!!

Also, kudos for the awesome CM who helped me out. She checked every day of my stay to help me get the best time.

So, I called the line for if you are having issues (407-939-5277) instead of dining. The lady said they are having a lot of issues with it but she was able to book me for 5/23 at 4:45. She said that was the only available time. Might be another option for those still having issues w the dining line.

That's when I'll be there too.

$10 says everyone in the place at that first hour on May 15 are DISers.

[HCinKC]

I called a 3rd time and as soon as I said I was looking for reservations for Rebel Hangar she hung up on me

Oh man, some of these poor CMs.

 

[yulilin3]

Very kind of you. This would just be for 2 adults.

gotcha, on hold now

 

[Artax]

I just want to note that I got my reservation about an hour and a half ago on my way to work. I just hadnt had a chance to post until a few minutes ago.

 

[Arich01]

I know the booking frenzy is going on, and GOOD LUCK to everyone!! I hope you all can get in!

On a lighter note, is anyone doing anything special at home to celebrate May the 4th today? We're going to start watching Rebels tonight, am looking for a cute dinner idea to go with the theme. Any ideas?

 

[Disney Diva Mom]

So, first call - got disconnected ten minutes into being on hold. Second call - sorry nothing available. Third call - got it!!! June 13th.

 

[mykidsrqts]

Woohoo! Got the ressie I wanted for my date and time on the first try! May 17 at 545. The cm I talked to explained that the morning was crazy because they weren't given all the information at first but now they have everything working better. Good luck to everyone!

I called and was able to get Reservations on May 15th at 4:05p as well! Assembling with you and with the rest of the Guinea Pig Dissers

 

[stardam]

Ok I called back & got the best CM ever! She knew exactly how to use the system to get a reservation. Something about searching in 15 minute increments. Anyways, I'm in for the 16th now!! Woohoo!!!

 

[yulilin3]

@Itinkso I see a lot of work in your future

 

[eschil]

I told my husband this morning that I think reservations are opening this morning and he very sweetly responded with - do you want me to call? He got our preferred day and time. May 29 at 4:45.
