in DD. What is the phone number to make ADRs? I remember reading that you can't use 407-WDW-DINE

 

[byoung]

I belive there is no ADR's here.

 

[BWVNUT]

(407) 827-8500

byoung is right - no ADRs - when I called back in May I was told you could get priority seating which they explained means you make a time - show up then and you get the next available table - which technically means you could wait 5 minutes to 1 hour - no guarantees - but I guess it's better than showing up and 5pm and told it will be 4 1/2 hours - which we have def. encountered!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Thank you.

I wonder how long of a wait it is in December?

 

[BWVNUT]

I don't know - we've only tried to eat there in June of last year and then February of this year and it was pretty bad both times. To maybe try and avoid the craziness, I would suggest eating an early dinner - get there at like 4pm maybe?....

We're going at the end of July and using the priority seating scenario told you about - I can let you know how that works out.

 

[JulyGirl]

You can make ADRs at the Animal Kingdom one right?

 

[Pooh67_68]

BWVNUT, Thank you.


July Girl, I'm not sure. They are in AK but it is still not a Disney run resturant.

I made an ADR with Disney Dining at the AK one for lunch.

Yes I did too that's why I was wondering. I thought I'd get there and they'd look at me like I have two heads.

We went to the RC on our last night last year, and it was by far the worst meal we had. It was overpriced and the food was terrible. The view on the patio is nice, but not worth the price.

I would reccommend Earl of Sandwich or another resteraunt. But my family and I wil never give business to a RC again.

I was also told you couldnt' make ADR's for the DTD Raindforest Cafe. When we were there in May, there was a 2.5 hour wait by the time we tried to get in for dinner. Luckily, they had a staff member signing people up for the "Safari Club." Usually we don't take the bait for things like that, but listened and decided to go ahead and join. I think it was $15 for a lifetime membership, but I'm not 100% that was the exact price. We paid in cash and I threw out the receipt so I can't double check. It eded up being a great decision. We were immediately put at the top of the wait list and got a "free" appetizer. Last week we got our official plastic Safari Club card with a $10 gift certificate towards a meal. We went a few days later to the Rainforest Cafe in Towson Town Center and used the certificate. We also got 10% off our meals and any merchandise too. We arrived at 5:45 and they told the family in front of us the wait was then 7:15. We were seated at 6:05 with the priority seating you get as a club member. Check out the Rainforest Cafe site for specifics if interested.

I just called a couple of days ago and made a reservation at the Rainforest in DD. Made it for fairly early because when we were there in August, we waited an hour and a half for a table (without a reservation). The woman on the phone was very friendly and said they are accepting reservations through May '07.

Thank you.

It still gets crazy busy in December. We do December trips A LOT and it's hit and miss. Some days we've passed by or stopped and there were only a few people, other times it's been a 2 hour wait. The Safari Club is money well spent if you have a habit of eating here. We go at least once per trip, so our card has more than paid for itself with the 10% off (we don't do appetizers so we choose the discount instead)

I called this number 407-827-8500 and made reservations last Aug for DTD RFC.

The time we were given was 8pm. We showed up 5 mins early, and people were outside and fuming that the wait time was 2.5 hours. Some had clearly waited a long time and were not happy!

I checked in @ the elephant, then approx 10 mins later ( 8:10) our name was called and we walked to the cue for the gorrilla room. People who had walked up, were waiting @ the elephant room line. (our line was much shorter)

We waited there another 10 mins then were seated. DH really likes this restaurant and I was so pleased I had called before!!!

CVS2KIDS - I'm with you. We just went in May and I was also very disappointed with our meal. It was definitelty overpriced and it's definitely going downhill. We make it a point to go to the RC on every trip, but no more!! I'm going to try different places every time. It's not worth the wait to us.

Can you sign up for the rainforest card online? If so how fast does it come?

Unfortunately, no. I called the Safari Club number before the trip I ended up buying and was told that you could only sign up in a store/restaurant. Now I don't know if you can call a store and have them process the membership over the phone or not. . . I didn't try that.

I just got off the phone with them, I was looking for a January 4th, 2007 ressie and the girl on the phone told me they were only taking ressies thru Dec. I figure I will call again a little later today and see if I get the same answer.
