The Willy's head to Walt's World..again!!! 5/18: TR Started!!

[autumnpalm]

Yummy!!! Cupcakes AND ADRs! Your PTR is making me hungry (even though I just had butter chicken for dinner! )

I'm so glad the photo session will work out with the share! I'm so excited.

I can't wait to hear what you think of Flying Fish, that's a restaurant we've always wanted to try but I haven't heard much about it!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Hey Disneyfan71, what happened to your April vacay & PTR???

We decided to go in June instead. My DW teaches school (librarian) they lost a few days at Spring Break and we can't go...but alas we're going in June where it won't be AS crowded!!!

I didn't get your email, send it again or PM me!

I haven't heard too much about FFC either, but DH wants to try it. That's our DHS day and we've eaten at all of the DHS restaurants and wanted to try something new.

That's cool! Those were your original plans anyways, weren't they? You have to wait a little longer, but at least you're still going!!

Okay... why did they let you make the ADRs early... or how early did you make them?

As of today, they are taking reservations through 5/11. Our check in date is 5/7, so my 90 days is not until 2/6, but I called anyway and the wonderful CM hooked me up!

 

[bertegirl]

My TA had called me ahead of time...she had heard they were doing the plus ten as ten days early. Not ten days on your 1st reservation. So she told me to have my reservations ready. Glad it worked for you. She has been calling each morning for those of us in May and has been able to add one day at a time. Whatever works!!!Your ADR's look great. We are doing Spoodles, too!!!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Yes we had originally planned to go in June..but I didn't know if the 4/3 deal booking deal would be extended...but it was, which is a good thing.

 

[kgle]

Darnit I need to recheck my schedule and compare it to times tonight so I can make some ADRs for the first couple of days!

Just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY found the last piece to Emily's Disney package last night so everything is set to be shipped here in a week or so!! I just need your address again, I accidentally deleted yours and Brandi's addresses in my PMs!

Darnit I have to finish a paper and clean my house and all I want to do is go over my schedule!

Stupid school work and cleaning! You can't let them get in the way of your DISing and planning!!!

I'l PM you with our address!

 

[wlwilliams9]

I just called WDW-Dine twice to make our ADR's for the 12th and was told both times to call back at my 90 days. Ugh! I guess they've caught on to their error! Maybe I'll try again later!

 

[bertegirl]

Ugh..at least I am not the only one. We put our house on the market yesterday and it has been a mad house trying to get it clean. I have been taking mini breaks to watch for calendar updates. Went on this site

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wd...CalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage&date=2009050

It is the old website...and you can see the May hours for Epcot and AK.

Thanks for the link! I can't believe they're not doing evening EMH at the AK. That really messes up my schedule. We may just skip AK all together this year. It's our least favorite park and it's always 20 hotter in that park than anywhere else. I'd better get back to my spreadsheet and make some adjustments!

CM are making me MAD!! I've had no luck with ADR reservations today. I've called 4 times, the first two said I had to wait until 2/6 to call even though I explained that I already made reservations for the 7th-11th and was told to call back today for the 12th. (I guess I can't balme them, this is legitimate) The 3rd time I called, I told her I was checking in on the 2nd thinking maybe they would help me then and she said I'd have to wait until 2/11 to make ADR's for the 12th. WHAAAAT? I asked her about the 90 days +10 and she was totally confused! Finally, I called and the CM asked for my resort reservation number (first time I've ever been asked for that) to make the ADR's, but I didn't have it handy so now I need to call again. WhatEVER!!

My TA has been checking everyday for an opening at Poly, but no such luck yet. Our tax return was better than expected...so I wanted to upgrade. Oh, well the AKL still looks great. Sorry about the ADR's. I tried to make a spreadsheet today but it didn't turn out. I am just going to have to print out a normal list.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hi Wendy! Just finished reading through your PTR. I must say that Emily is absolutely beautiful, you are blessed.

Your luggage is totally adorable, makes me want to go out and buy new bags. Right now I just have plain old boring black suitcases.

Good luck with the Poly!! I'm sure you will LOVE AKL though. I've never stayed there, but the photos look beautiful! I'm not giving up on the ADR's, but the inconsistancy is driving me batty! Sorry about the spreadsheet! I don't know what I'd do without mine!

Welcome and thanks, we are very blessed! Mike and I always wonder how a couple of uglies like us made such a cute kid!


Anyone else LOVE the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet? We are soooo getting another dog this spring!!

I had some ADR frustrations today too! They asked for my confirmation as well... it was buried in my email inbox pages and pages back (I don't like to clean it out ). The CM asked for the # and I told her I didn't have it with me, it was in my inbox. She told me she could wait... so still on the phone, paying long distance, I hauled my laptop out, booted it up and then spent at least 5 minutes searching through my email for the Reservations one. Calling from Canada to Florida, that isn't so cheap!

The same CM was another one of the relentless "celebrators", trying to figure out SOMETHING that we could be celebrating. Eventually I told her it was my mom's 50th even though we are going in May and her birthday isn't until July. When we get there if they say anything about my mom being 50, she might kill me and say she has a good few months of her forties left.

Bummer about having to dig up your reservation #. Crazy CM's, sometimes I wonder if they watched the wrong training video!!

Your mom is totally going to kill you when you arrive at all of your ADR's and the wait staff wishes her a Happy 50th!! Uh-OH!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That is so weird that they were asking for your confirmation number. Out of all the times I have called I have never had to supply my confirmation number in order to make my ADR's.

 

[Villainess]

I've always had to supply my reservation number to make the ADR's when you are making 90+10 days, and each day thereafter. At the 90 day mark they don't need your Disney resort confirm, but once you make the other +10 they need it to verify that you are in fact a Disney Resort guest.

 

[wlwilliams9]

OMG!! So I call today to book my Magical Express which went smoothly, then the CM asked if she could help with dining reservations and here's how the conversation went:

Me: "I'd like to make reservations, but my 90 days isn't until Friday."
CM: "Because you are a Disney resort guest, you can book 100 days out."
Me: "Ooh really? OK, I'll book some dining reservations then."

So YIPPIE, I booked more ADR's!!!

Tuesday, May 12th:
B) Akerhaus, Princess Storybook Meal
D) Tutto Italia

Wednesday, May 13th:
L) Tusker House (getting the Finding Nemo priority seating)
D) Jiko

Now I only have 3 more days to book!! Yee Haw!
