RESERVATIONS: Check them B4 You Go!

[copperbrick]

Hi, Everyone:

Just a quick tip that I am sure must have been posted here many times in the past:

Before you leave for your vacation, call Disney Dining and double check your reservation times, reservation numbers (always save these), special requests, etc.

For the last two years, I've done this, and both times I have discovered errors.

For example, on the last morning of our upcoming vacation, we booked Boma for breakfast, yet when I double checked, the ressie said PM instead of AM.

Another reservation was in someone else's name! This is either because I made a typo in the res. no or because the CM gave me the wrong number. Either way, I'm sure it would have been straightened out when we received our dining itenerary at AKL, but you never know.

There were a couple other minor errors -- like contact phone number on a couple ressies -- no biggie, but I'm so glad I called to go through everything one last time.

I must add that I'm one who changes reservations A LOT, so I worked my way through a number of CMs as I planned . . . and re-planned. And one or two errors might have been mine and not Disney's (however, Boma was definitely NOT mine). So regardless of where the error originated, it is still a good idea to double check.

Happy eating!

Couldn't agree with you more. Always double-check. When I called Disney dining to check on my CP package reservation (because that one can't be retrieved online), I learned that the CM who took the call had made the reservation for September 14, which was the day I called, and not December 14, which was the day I wanted it. Obviously there is no CP package going on in September, and the CM who discovered this was quick to fix it and still get me the restaurant and time I wanted.

Yes. Thank you for the reply.

I am betting there are more out there who have experienced similar. I hope they post here.

Also check with your hotel concierge when you get there. They can print you the list and fix any issues like they did for me.

That's what I did last year and I also found one mistake. I know I didn't book that ADR, so I cancelled it when I got to the room.
