[5 Disney Fans]

I was on hold for around 25 minutes and was able to book for July 13th. She asked if she could assist w/ anything else and although I need to set up magical express and other things I didn't want to keep her on the phone knowing how others are waiting!!! Good luck everyone

 

[Meech Loves Mickey]

On hold for 35 minutes, but I finally got thru! Was able to book my family of 4 for the 13th!

Good luck everyone!

It seems like the dining reservations folks are handling the reservations, so they may have been available an hour earlier than expected. I called 10 minutes early and finished the survey after 23 minutes on the phone.

We just booked our reservation for the 23rd, (on hold for 35 minutes). The earliest you can enter the park is 8:30 from what we were told.

 

[whamma]

20 minutes on hold and still counting. I have to get working. May have to hang up if they don't answer in the next 2 minutes!

Had to hang up. Just called back--busy twice--now on hold again.

I was told 8:30, too.

 

[soxyes]

Oh my gosh---so frustrated!
I started calling at 8:10 (Central) and finally got through at 8:30. I waited for 30 minutes and then was sent straight to the survey without talking with anyone. Now I'm waiting again... at the 16.5 minute mark. I wonder how long this will take.
Just nuts.

Oh no! That's terrible actually. Not only is that 90 minutes shorter than last year, it means the big slides will be closed when we get there (they close at sunset.)

 

[whamma]

28 minutes. All signed up. Don't forget you need your resort reservation number to book!

 

[Whilykit]

I'm on hold now.. I've never been to this! Hoping to book... 23 minutes and counting on hold.
What is typically open at this event? Is it worth going?
I have a 7& 5 year old? Are there any characters? Lilo & Stitch are their FAV characters so to see them on the email I got WAY too excited (for probably no reason!)
Hope I get a spot!

I think you will!

 

[CarolynK]

Got thru after only about 20 min. wait. Booked 4 of us for July 13.

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

Got us booked also! It took almost an hour starting at 09:09 between busy signal and hold time once I got thru!

4 of us for June 23rd. If we make it to midnight it will be my BIRTHDAY!! We are staying at GFV for 3 nights to celebrate!

Last year they had Lilo & Stitch in one area, and Minnie & Mickey in another. My DD11 loves Stitch, too. I thought it was so worth going that I planned a special trip when I saw the announcement. I think everything is open except the 3 big slides that have to close at sunset.

I just booked July 6, 25 mins on hold (accurately predicted at the beginning) and about 20 mins to do this and another couple of things. They said that the party starts at 9:30, busses start at 8, and to be there 15 minutes early, but he didn't say what time the doors open to us. I hope it's earlier than the 8:30 others are reporting, but they may want to clear the park of other guests first this time.

• Price: Complimentary

With all the negativity about Disney over-charging for events and extras and giving nothing to DVC members, I think this is a pretty cool special event they are doing for members. We are booked for July 6!!

"Event Details

If the event has not reached capacity by April 22, 2016, then bookings will be opened to all Members.

Ok, so I know this is going to be a stupid question, but what does this mean? Is it not open to all members now?
