[vjc715]

Hi all ~

Any tips that you can give me when calling the 800# to get through faster would greatly be appreciated. I will be doing this at 4am, so that will be challenge enough.

I just tried doing a practice run...and it asked me TONS of questions...my phone number, blah..blah....blah....

Anyway of bypassing all of this?????

Thanks to all!!!!

If you have trouble getting through try this number 1-888-870-9173. It's for their Spanish desk. The CMs are bilingual and they will help you even if you don't speak Spanish. As soon as you hear them pick up wait 2 seconds and press 1 and then wait 15-20 seconds and press your zip code followed by your phone number. Then it will ask you 2 questions, just press 1, wait about 8 seconds and press 1 again. I had no clue if I was getting anywhere and then someone answered and helped me.

DO you have to use the 800 #?'s. Trust me... it is VERY hard to get in using any number but one that doesn't require as many prompts will be a better shot at the jackpot. If you use 407-939-3463. Hit 1 and then 1 again. DOn't wait for it to ask you a thing. As soon as you hear "if" just press 1. If your not in by 7:05 CRT is gone. DOn't know if that's what you want. Best of luck... I'm trying again tomorow too.

Thanks for everyone's help!!!! I'll be trying the 1 and 1 option using the long distance #.

I just have this big knot in my throat, because when I tried calling Disneys CRO number for reservations to do a code, I was on hold for 1 hour and 54 minutes! (not that I'm counting) hahaha

Oh well....all will be good once the planning ends and the fun begins!

I tried this morning for four in a row, but seems i ran out of luck or pixie dust and was put on hold. Waited about 10 min. and decided to go back to sleep, besides i thought they might be gone due to the storm.

I guess i should have bought that lottery ticket yesterday. LOL

Good luck to all.

Jim.

I would suggest that you call one morning for a trial run and get all the correct #'s that you have to press and write them down. I did this and when it came time to actually make the real call, I called starting 5 minutes before 7:00 a.m., kept pressing redial, when I finally got through I pressed my 1st #, waited a second, pressed my second #, and so on. I did not wait til they finished talking because that waists too much time. It does work. I got through and waited on hold for about 3 minutes but I did get the ressie that I wanted. GOOD LUCK!!!
