THV Here We Come!!!!

[pennst8r]

Add me to the list of happy campers (pun intended!) today!

I started dialing at 9...hit off/redial/on while watching the food network for an hour! I figured I could admit that here.... Finally got put on hold at 10 for about 25 minutes, but it was worth it! Got our SSR 2br transferred over.

Anyone else there 10/16-24?

It took 4 hours but I got my THV ressies!

I am so happy it finally worked out for you!!!
I thought I had a tough time this morning but you really went through it this morning!

I was able to get through about 9:40 after dialing every minute since 8:59 and getting the busy signal. Another 15 minutes on hold to get to MS then the rest was quick and easy. It looks like several others posted here were calling about the same time and will be there when we are from 10/21-25. Maybe we will have a DIS section!

4 hours and 35 minutes to get our choice, but it finally happened.....

I like that!! I never thought I would be a "Happy Camper" but I am now!

I started trying at 9:15 this morning, got through to the system at 9:25 as we were driving to church and it said 15-minute wait. Then our cell phone switched towers and dropped the call. Gggrrr. So I started after church and got in after just two dialings and then had a 20-minute hold time - which was right at 20-minutes. We were able to get the Treehouse Villas for sep 25 - 27th.

I started calling at 8:55....rang busy until 9:15. Then had a up to 15 minute wait time....was actually around 12-15 minutes. Got THV for June 28th-July 3rd for party of 9!!!

WOW -- I think you should also be commended for hanging in there. Congratulations on getting your ressie! (You & Saratoga Souris really worked hard for it!)

Awww, that's sweet of you! So far, I haven't heard of anyone being upset that they couldn't get their reservation (Feb 22nd may be a different story! ).

Best wishes for your daughter's wedding. How exciting!! (and yet nerve-wracking all at the same time!! )

I got Sept. 6-11 for my birthday!

I can't think of a better place to celebrate a birthday. Congratulations!!

WOW, a busy day today with both THV's and BLT reservations being accepted.

We got THV with a June 1st checkin, that's opening day. We've never had a reservation for an opening day for any resort before.

Count us in as another family there for opening day. Like you, we've never been anywhere for opening day. This should be interesting. I'm so excited though and I was pumped the whole day Now we just need to finalize the rest of our plans.

YAY!! You'll be checking in along with Caskbill's family that day. Opening Day: how exciting!

I hope y'all will bring your laptops along and post live (or at least post when you get home with lots of pictures!! )

Congrats!

Of busy signals and then waiting on hold (I started at 9:01 yesterday morning - finally got through and put on hold at 10:55 and finally got a live person at 11:25!), but we will be spending Christmas in a Treehouse! Our dates - Dec 23 - Dec 27, then we're off to the Keys!

I called around noon on Sunday and I had to wait 25 minutes, but the CM was fantastic. He apologized for my long wait and I told him that was fine, I knew what was going on (thanks DIS). I got my 2BR at SSR changed to a THV for two days before our AKV GV stay. We will be at THV December 17-19 and then AKV December 19-23. Can't wait. As long as the Army doesn't deploy my son or son-in-law, we should all be there together. Now we just have to wait until December. Glad we have an AKV stay booked before the Podcast Cruise in May .

Christmas in a THV...sounds good to me!! The Keys sound fabulous too.

Question!

I've assumed all along and I've seen it posted by some reliable DISers that the THV will have parking right next to each unit. However, when I look at the site plan it looks like there are parking spaces along the main road, and not any next to each villa.

I would take a screen shot of the site plan and post it here but I'm not sure that's allowed...
