10/1 is my birthday!!! i'll be dining at the crystal palace that morning...right now wayyyy later than i wanted to...but i'll be patient...
and call back everyday!!
downers: Chef mickeys..but not until 9pm on arrival day....the crystal palace...wanted an 8:00 or 8:05...got a 9:40am....the computers are giving errors (even when i tried to do it myself) for whispering caynon...
Good Stuff: Boma, Sci Fi Drive in, Nine Dragons, Ohanas..all at the time i wanted (or within 15 minutes!!) it became easier the later i got into my ressie!!
Lmao...no no, it took about 25 minutes, and that's with the CM having to reboot her computer...but hers crashed about the same time mine did...lol...we've been having problems with our net lately...
We have had a terrible time getting reservations too. Here's a tip for Cinderella Castle, dinner shows or princess dining in Norway: Go to a conceirge to ask for a reservation 48 prior to the day you want b/c these places have a 48 cancel policy. No one else seems to cancel their dining if they don't use it. Also, don't be too discouraged with walk-ups. We love the character breakfasts at 1900 park fare and cape may. We've been able to walk up with a 30 minute wait for later breakfast times when they were supposed to be completely booked.
Our trip starts on 9/25 and I called 90 days out and used the 90+10. We tried to get CRT for 9/26 for breakfast or lunch and were told that it was completely booked. I got up the next morning and logged onto the computer at 6:00 am and requested a 10:00 am breakfast at CRT for 9/26. It came back offering both 9:45 and 10:15.
Similarly, we wanted a Tusker house breakfast on 9/27 at 10:00 am. The best they could do was a 10:20 that we had to be at 2 different tables. I called back exactly 90 days before 9/27, punched in 10:00 am and was offered 10:05 at one table.
I am pretty convinced that they hold back some of the ADR's until the 90th day for that particular date.
If you don't get what you want with the 90+10, call back on the 90 day mark and see if you have better luck. Better yet, do it online and get a 60 minute jump on those calling in.
