September 2009 ADR Wanted/Trade/Exchange/Canceled

[Disneymaniacs]

Why is it that I have the feeling that many, many people hold on to ADRs that they KNOW they will not be needing in the hopes of being able to use them as poker/bargaining chips to get ADRs that they DO want? I guess because I have been so desperate to get my ADRs straight that I have considered doing the same. But I just can't do that and have a clear conscious when I know darn well that there could be someone else out there hoping for the very ADR that I am holding on to. I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to get the Donald's Safari Bkfst that I am desperately needing (ironically, I gave that very ADR away a month ago...not knowing that DD2 would be so infatuated with Donald Duck). If someone is holding on to one with no real intention of using it, except as leverage to get what they themselves want....I get it. I really do. This whole system of obtaining ADRs sucks.

I have a Donald's Safari Breakfast on the 26th for 4 at 9:10am. Besides not being as early as I had liked, it dawned on me today that it completely won't work for us because we have to have admission into the park to be able to use the ADR, and that is not a park day for us. If I remember correctly, there was someone who posted earlier today that they were looking for one on that day (I'll have to look back through the posts to see who it was....) It's yours if you want it. I know I won't be able to use it, and to hold onto it in the hopes of being able to use it to score what I need seems wrong to me.

So, I am STILL looking for Donald's Safari Breakfast on either the 24th or the 25th. Any time will do, but the earlier the better. I will have nothing to trade, because I have let all the ADRs go that I know I will not be using.

Whew...thanks for letting me clear my conscious!

We just booked our vacation last week and the only good ADRs we have were graciously given to us by Disers on this thread. (Thank you so much!) I think I would sell my soul about now for a dinner ADR to Chef Mickeys the week of 9/14-9/17! Good luck to you, I hope you get your ADR.

I THINK I have a Donald's BF on the 15th. I made it on line but when I called to confirm ADRS the other day the CM did not call it out. I will check on it and get back with you.

That would be wonderful! Thank you, I think both of my kids would love that. I'll cross my fingers.

Whew...thanks for letting

I think a lot of people just change their plans. I know I have rearranged my ARS's numerous times since June. Don't give up, people cancel all the time.

From my own experience here, it's hard to work out a trade for ADRs. The chances of me having exactly what the other person wants AND them having what I want...out of all the possible ADR days and times and restaurants...it's sort of a stars-aligning event. What's worked best has been to just give away what I have to give away and then to come here often and get lucky when someone has posted the very thing I'm looking for. Pixie dust all around!

I will cancel this today. I think I have to do it online since it has a CC hold. Let me know if anyone interested and we can try to time it

I wouldn't post the time on the board. I would pm her so she gets the first chance at it.

I thought I had to call in to cancel this one at Akershus because of the credit card hold. I can pull up the reserv on-line but no cancel button is the on-line system just messing with me? I can usually see cancel buttons on other ressies.

I've always had to cancel by phone with anything that had a Charge Card hold. Just call. I think the reason is that they want to know why and perhaps reschedule for you. They always ask me this.

PM didn't come through. I think this will be hard to grt
because you have to cancel by phone. Will pm you again later.

You are correct. You do have to call it in because of the cc hold. I didn't realize until after I responded that it was for Akershus, that's why I came back in and changed my response, but I wasn't quick enough.

Sorry to create more confusion.
