@Sandisw thought you might like to know that MS confirmed they are able to pull from developer inventory for your first booking with new points. I checked with them when I got through.

That’s great for those with new points!

Yay for everyone getting to a person, I still cannot get put into the queue, just keep getting the messages, "too busy."

Ugh. Same with me. I'm on phone call #56 and still can't even get in the queue.

 

[abetts20]

My recording said 2 hours but got in at right about an hour. Booked 2 nights in a Duo Premium view for Springtime Surprise in April!

 

[Phatscott25]

Yeah that's happening to me as well now but I did already get through once. Really wishing I asked to split that 10 day into two reservations now.

 

[Genie+]

That makes sense, and I know the only way to get the answer is call back, but do you think they would have booked a separate, 3-night reservation, for the 3 dates proceeding my 7-night one? I'm really kicking myself for not asking. I'm going to call back and see, just wondering your thoughts.

Yeah I can understand the rule but it also seems pretty easy to skirt around. If someone asks for a 7 day booking in their name, then a 3 day booking in husband’s name, that would probably work. If lead guest name somehow matters and both people are going the full 10 days… doesn’t seem anything prevents booking like that on the same call. Unless they limit one booking per call?

Well done! Mine said 90 minutes but I'm still waiting.

Called a little after 9, was told an hour, took about 45 minutes, 1 bed theme park for 6 nights in September.

CM was very nice, call took 5 minutes (after initial wait). She did say the phone lines were jammed and expected to be so until closing.

 

[Mutant]

I called in right at 9 and got a message saying 60+ minute hold time. Got to a cast member after about 45 minutes and successfully booked the 2 rooms i wanted for June! The cast member was great and said they only had about 300 calls in the queue now.

They didn't limit to one booking per call. I was able to book 7 nights in January and 7 in June. She just said I can't book 10 nights in a row for a single stay and would have to call back tomorrow for the 8th, and so on. I was happy enough with what I did get that I didn't even think to ask for a separate 3 night stay that checks in when the 7 night checks out. Really kicking myself because of course now I can't even get on hold.

Got in to speak to someone at 10:04 which was only an hour wait and not the two hour forecasted. They still had Duo and Standard View Studios available for the first week of opening! I booked 12/17 in a Standard View Studio. Woo hoo!!!!

 

[Dobermanns]

Wait time was less than the 2 hours announced. Waited just about an hour. Got 2 nights in a duo premium view just before princess half marathon weekend. It should be interesting since I will be going to a tower studio at RIV, to compare the two duo units.

 

[mkatsy]

I'm officially "mother of the year.".... I got theme park view marathon weekend ... and a couple random dates that I wanted. The CM was awesome, and everything was available, no mention of developer inventory was even needed. Plus, that Riviera date that I wanted popped up this morning, so it was a successful day!

They must have the phone lines closed to new callers because I have been trying since 9 am est, so going on two hours now (1 hr, 40 mins). I have to work today so I cannot keep calling all day. :-(

I had the same problem and did finally get into the queue, on call number 65. I'm also in the Chat queue, so hoping to talk to someone within an hour. I hope you can get in before you have to go to work!!

 

[kelby86]

Just got a different message of an actual human voice recording, so I think I am finally in! Current wait time "more than 30 mins."

Did anyone see the message at the header of the website regarding the booking dates? The last line says “On Nov. 19, all eligible Members may book online or by calling Member services (Direct Purchase Benefit Resort Restrictions apply).” So it looks like even though it’s the same association resale points can’t be used for the tower if I’m reading this correctly.

 

[ehh]

I used my OG Poly points to book this morning. I have not bought Island Tower points.

Nov 19 is when non-Poly points can be used.

 

[CWTC]

I thought that was only possible for studio types on the RAT, not sure how you can see PIT room availability but currently having fun exploring!

I’ve not had any issues - i search for the specific resort/room type with whatever dates, then click on it, and then when the calendar shows up the availability traffic shows me the number of rooms.

You're not. I booked with my PVB resale contract this morning, and had zero issue, which is what we all expected.

I think the header is referring to those with resale restricted contracts (Riviera, Disneyland Hotel, and Cabins).
