Oh no . . . a cliffhanger!

I'm doing the next update right now.

at least you got through!! I tried calling all during the way to work from 7am-8am eastern time...from noon-1pm eastern time and a couple times after 5pm.. all busy...never got through at all and by the time I got home and got my bulimic 13 month old to bed (he seriously figured out tonight that if he put his finger far enough into his mouth he would throw up and I would tell him no and yell at him and he would laugh at me--- nice!!) and by the time I got him to bed and cleaned him and everything up...it was way after 7pm...hopefully they got the internet back working...if not I will be back doing it again tommorow....and all of this after I have been up since 5am eastern standard time to try to get my adrs!! It has not been my day!!

Believe me. I feel and know your pain.

I just got through...wait by the time I get a cust service rep they will probably be closed.

that they stay open!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Congrats on getting through and getting all the ADR's!

[Lady Lallie]

sorry. I don't mean to take so long.....

Uh uh. Sure.

 

[that's nice]

Jordan-
I had to see how you made out. I'm glad you got everything you wanted and so close to the times you wanted too!!!! I'll be following along, although a little late to the party.

 

[jcc0621]

Thanks for helping folks out!

We always try to make ADR's at off times too. Seem to have better luck that way

 

[MaryAz]

Tha live post was the best! I appreciated all the detail. It is not bad enough that us "west coasters" have to get up 3 hours earlier but geez the system could work.
CONGRATS on getting everything for the group!! Now if you would just hurry up and post ur ADR's Mr Cliffhanger...

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Glad you got everything. Today was CRAZY!! I agree that the CM's were VERY appreciative of kindness today. It wasn't hard to tell that they haven't exactly had a lot of that today.

I just got through...wait by the time I get a cust service rep they will probably be closed.

I was told by one CM they will be there until 10pm tonight! So good luck!!

12:00pm I try again. Busy. But then on the 4th try..bingo..
12:01pm 10 minute wait. Not too bad. But I get an important phone call and have to hang up

12:35pm I get Ardiss on the phone. Super nice, but frazzled by the mean people calling. She and I get along very well

Again the first is what I wanted, red is what I got:

The times were a bit more off this time around as I was calling later in the day, but I was still able to get things around the time I wanted and on the day I wanted.

Here are some memories from the day:

Me at sometime around 4:30am

The computer as I was doing live updates:

Me looking in the refrigerator for food:

What I ended up eating. Pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, olives and artichoke hearts.

Okay, Okay...the ADR saga was worth the wait!

I especially love the pictures of your morning adventures.

And a special Eeeee!!! for Brown Derby.

 

[jordanyosh]

Uh uh. Sure.

Patience is rewarded!

Jordan-

I'm late to yours as well.

For my solo I did try to go at off times...

Tha live post was the best! I appreciated all the detail. It is not bad enough that us "west coasters" have to get up 3 hours earlier but geez the system could work.
CONGRATS on getting everything for the group!! Now if you would just hurry up and post ur ADR's Mr Cliffhanger...

It was weird being up so early...I was pretty frustrated.

Glad you got everything. Today was CRAZY!! I agree that the CM's were VERY appreciative of kindness today. It wasn't hard to tell that they haven't exactly had a lot of that today.

I was told by one CM they will be there until 10pm tonight! So good luck!!

Good luck K. Thanks C for the helpful info!!!!!!

Ardiss sounded so tired on the phone as I was making ADRs. She kept saying thank you for being so nice.

You know your responsible for the whole DxDP and Brown Derby plan....seriously.

I'm an enabler. I can't help it. I should start putting a disclaimer in my signature. "If you read my posts on the DIS you may spend more money then you intend to on your next Disney Vacation." How does that sound?

I agree with this... how many park bags have I bought thinking of LL ! I have to admit I stole the late HBD ADR idea from you as well!
So I thank you

 

[Sleepingbooty]

First off, pizza with mushrooms, olives, and artichoke hearts - YUMMMMMO! That sounds awesome. And I can't believe anything sounds good right now, as stuffed as I am with my homemade baked potato soup. But I will have to try that combo soon. You ate it cold, may I assume?

Man, what a morning you had! And amazingly, you managed to get everything you wanted, nearly right at the times you wanted. I wonder if the online reservation system ever came back up. I'm afraid to even try it!

I'm glad I haven't followed suit on the bag buying....

I have NO idea what you are talking about. Isn't that what the DIS is all about? Stealing ideas...I stole it from Jen, Christine and Paula.

Enable away!!!!

Oh, just wait. First the light fixtures then the bags.

It's a great pizza and even better cold!

I had read that the online came up then crashed again. I stayed away from it for the rest of the day.

It's interesting that only 4 hours later, times were already booking up....if you're going in Feb book soon!!!!!!
