I wonder how many operators they have available this morning. Sure, it's the first morning of a new promotion, but most people don't read these boards, don't read MouseSavers obsessively, etc . . . and it would seem that most Disney Visa holders haven't received the email yet.

So, it might well be that there are very few operators online right now, and that most of the people on hold at CRO are reading this thread here right now.

Which makes us all feel as if we're going to miss out on the promotion, that all the rooms will be gone, but actually they must have plenty of availability or else they wouldn't need to run the promotion in the first place.

(I've only been on hold 12 minutes so far, figure I'll hold out as long as I can, but might have to hang up and try back later.)

Not to mention there are people holding hoping for different dates that won't book. And some people are making their ADR's while making their resort ressies, so it isn't that there are so many people ahead of you, just that the few that are ahead of you are taking a really long time with the CM's. Or that'
s what I keep telling myself.

Over an hour now. We're really earning this discount, aren't we?
