All updated - it seems like November 4th Parisian Breakfast is going to have a whole bunch of Disboarders there! We decided on the Afternoon over Breakfast as I think we'll end up with room service post race.

Update, I got Mix it Make it Celebrate it for 10/9, yay! The cast member I talked to when I first tried to book it didn't put in any of my information, which meant the system didn't recognize me as a passholder, so it said absolutely nothing was available. Kind of shocked, he must have told hundreds of people that nothing was available yesterday! I called back later just to see if anything had changed and that cast member was like "they're all available, which would you like?" and from there we figured out what the other guy had done.

I am getting so excited, we were going to do a whats cooking with Robert Irvine but our list got long so we are just going to sit outside and watch.

I'm hoping to book the Parisian Breakfast for Nov. 4, but I can't do the early booking. (It's just annual pass, TiW, etc., right?) I'm starting to panic seeing so many people booking that day. Is there any prayer there will be some spots left tomorrow? This was to be a special thing for my mom (who just beat cancer) and I.

They only release about 15-20% of the spots for early booking so if you are on the phone first thing tomorrow morning you should have a decent chance! Good Luck!

My suggestion for tomorrow. If they ask where you are staying "off site". Otherwise they waste time making sure your reservation is tied to your Account. It doesn't matter and slows you down!

[AUBDis]

2 events for DH and myself
11/3 What's Cooking with...
11/4 Parisian Breakfast after the 10K

 

[DisMommyTX]

I think bookings are now available online for everyone.

We booked both the:
9/22 Culinary demo at 2:30 (Beef from STK)
9/22 Beverage Seminar at 3:30 (Argentina wine)

The demo is only supposed to be 45 min, but when I tried on my AP account it said I couldn't book both because I already had a reservation in that time period. So, DH booked the other one on his alter-ego account which does not have AP linked. I guess that means everyone can book now.

Has anyone done both on the same day? Are we going to have a problem time-wise? We only have a 2 day trip, and they were in the same building last year, so I thought doing them together made sense. Any input?
