This is brilliant. I hope it comes to fruition.

I have time to kill waiting for the DR to call.

I'm doing ok....not in any pain......just a bit scared and nervous, buut better than yesterday when I learned all of this.

Just waiting for them to schedule surgery. This would have been done last night had we not stopped and gotten lunch on the way to the Retina specialist.

Trying to keep my head busy.....

Hang in there Kevin.

Just my .2 We are planning to go to WDW in June. I have scheduled 2 ADRs CRT and Chef Mickey's. I would love to plan more, but I have two toddlers, who 99% of the time are great in sit down restaurants, but I can not plan exact times 3 months out from our vacation and guarantee that those times are going to be good for us. I am all for a CC reservation system. I think it stinks that because I plan to relax and enjoy a slower pace without having every minute planned I am pretty much screwed for some great sit down meals. I will not schedule ADRs and then not show because nap time is running late or DD wants to ride Dumbo a third time.

I agree with this completely. The only reason I make a reservation is because I'm afraid without them - I won't be able to eat!

Instead of taking a credit card 3 months in advance, I think MOST restaurants should NOT take reservations. I think the character meals would still need them - but the rest, I think, should take just walk-ups, or people should stop at Guest Relations on the way into a park and make reservations the day of. It allows for spontenaiety, and prevents double bookings, and I don't have to worry that my schedule won't allow for what I'm booking 3 months in advance.

While we're making a wish list - can I also say I wish that as long as we DO need to make ADRs - can Disney NOT release park hours AND open dining booking at the same time? Release park hours 4 months in advance, and let us make the stinking dining 3 months in advance!

I remember back in the day, you could walk in to the park, go to a kiosk, and actually make your reservations for the day. Ahhh, memories!

And I fully agree with you about releasing park hours BEFORE opening up dining. Who's the Einstein that thought it was a good idea to let you make your ADRS before you had any notion of where you were intending to be that day???

The used to do this back in the 80's. I remember my parents making dinner reservations on the phones that used to be under Spaceship Earth at EPCOT.

Not that it makes sense, but maybe the point of opening ADRs before park hours are announced is supposed to cut down on people making ADR's so far in advance?
