Today is my big 180 day!!!!

Okay, I have been on hold for over an hour!!! Should I hang up and call back?

I waited about 25 mins so that does seem excessive.

I got everything I wanted for our 12/6 - 12/12 stay and they even had multiple dinner times open at LeCellier.

Crystal Palace
Teppan Edo
Kona Cafe
Boma
Le Cellier
Cape May Breakfast
 
Got what we wanted-:thumbsup2
12/7 SciFi 12:25
12/8 CRT 9:00am :cloud9:
12/8 CM 5:00
12/9 LTT 4:10 (wanted 5:00 - 4:10 was the latest) She couldn't verify that you could enter MK with your MVMCP ticket at 4:00 - she said she thought it was 6:00.
12/11 GG 12:10
We aren't on the DP but I wanted to make sure we would be eating where we wanted.
Good Luck to everyone elsepixiedust:

That does seem long; however, when I have called before they have told me "If you still hear Disney music, I'm taking care of you". I'm not sure about hearing the music for that long when you first call in before you are on hold.
Did you end up getting through?
 
I woke up at 5:30 this morning with thoughts of Disney in my head. I feel like a kid at Christmas but also nervously excited!! I have about an hour before I can call and then hopefully I can be done with all the planning for a while. Here is what I am going to try for:

Sat 12/6 arrive early am-dinner at Chef Mickeys-maybe MK or DTD after
Sun 12/7 Cinderella's breakfast then MK-dinner at WCC
Mon 12/8 DHS-dinner at MM with Fantasmic dinner pkg
Tues 12/9 free am-Crystal Palace at 4pm then MVMCP
Wed 12/10 unsure of park but dinner at Kona Cafe
Thurs 12/11 Epcot-dinner at LeCellier(with luck) then Illuminations
Friday 12/12 Animal Kingdom-dinner at Chef Mickeys again (we love it there!)
Sat 12/13 go home:sad2:

So how does it look? I'll let you know how it goes after I call!!

My day too! We are staying the exact same dates. I got everything I wanted, within 20 minutes of my goal times. Yay! I called right at 7am (started dialing when my clock said 6:59) and got right through. I've never done this before and was a tad nervous. I followed the directions posted on this board (hitting #1, etc) and it went perfectly. My CM was fabulous. We are doing the deluxe dining plan and doing 3 TS meals most days (oink, oink, lol) and it took almost an hour to go through them all. I am so excited!
 
Oh I am glad I saw this post. My 180 isn't until November!

I thought you had to wait until 7 (6:59.999) to start dailing.
And.... do I need to call each morning that is 180 days away? or will they book all my ADR's 180 from the 1st day?

What time did you all start dailing?

And what did you get !!!
I started dialing at 6:59, I'm sure it was 7 before the call went through. I followed the directions stickied on this board
I got :
breakfasts:
Cape May
Crystal Palace
Kona
H&V
Tusker
O'Hana

lunches:
Akershus
Sci Fi
The Plaza
CRT
50's PT

Dinners
Chef Mickey
Biergarten
Fantasmic at MM
1900 Park Fare
LTT
HDDR

If you are staying onsite you can book at 180 days from your arrival date for up to 10 days of your vacation. If you are offsite you can book at 180 days before your meal time but one for that days meal and would have to call back at 180 days before each other day to book the rest (hope that made sense!)
 
Today was my 180 days too! I started calling at 6:55 AM and got through around 6:59 AM.

I had to call back to change the date for the Princess Storybook Dining to Friday, and it took 30 minutes on hold at 7:30 AM. Compare this to when I called at 6:58 AM and got right through. Just a heads up for anyone else planning to call in for ADR's, CALL AT 6:58 AM!!!! To give you an idea of the volume of calls, the confirmation numbers (which are sequential) went up 1659 between 7:15 AM when I completed my original plans to 8:10 AM when I finished my amended plan. Good luck to everyone else.

:banana:

I felt the same as you and was wondering the same thing. Finally after 50 minutes I got through. Hopefully you were able to get through as well.
 
All I know is it may just be a little crowded at WDW beginning December 6th!! OH MY GOSH! I was on hold for 68 FREAKING MINUTES! :furious: The CM could not figure out why it was so busy either, but she said they called her in on her day off. Guess people are still planning trips to WDW eh?? ;)

My dh called while I was on hold, I had a 10 minute conversation with him, hung up and I was still on hold! Anyway, I just wanted an ADR at Kona on July 4th for dinner. Up until now they only had really late times available so I am happy I was able to get what I wanted. especially after the crazy long wait. Hope everyone got what they were waiting for too! :)
 
What time can you phone for Dining Reservations. I know that Member Services for the DVC can phone for free at 9 in the morning. Is there a number where they take reservations earlier than 9?

I was on hold for about 45 minutes before the CM picked up but he was awesome and we got mostly what we wanted. We had to move CRT to Friday but that was okay...I cvan adjust. Everything else we got within 15 minutes of what we wanted, even LeCellier! I am soooooo excited now! I'm glad most everyone else had luck too. Hooray for December !!!!!

Joining the We Got All our ADRs Party :cool1:

Wife and I decided to go all out and hit the Deluxe Dining Plan so 10 nights give us 30 credits to burn, thus we are going to try a number of 2 credit places...

Dec. 7 - Jiko (dinner)
Dec. 8 - Chefs de France (lunch) Flying Fish (dinner)
Dec. 9 - Mama Melrose (lunch) Brown Derby (dinner)
Dec. 10 - Plaza (lunch) Cali Grill (dinner)
Dec. 11 - Yak + Yeti (lunch) Citricos (dinner)
Dec. 12 - Tappan Edo (lunch) Artist Pointe (dinner)
Dec. 13 - Kona (breakfast) Raglan Road (lunch) Yachtsman (dinner)
Dec. 14 - Tokyo Dining (lunch) Le Cellier (dinner)
Dec. 15 - Tusker House (lunch) Narcossees (dinner)
Dec. 16 - Spoodles (breakfast) Tutto Italia (lunch) Ohana (dinner)
Dec. 17 - Boma (breakfast)

Unfortunately, Yak&Yeti and Raglan Road dont fall under the 180+10 rule as you have to book them at 180 days out at the earliest as they are independently owned, so I do still have to confirm those reservations but seeing as they are for lunch I'm not so worried...I was allowed however to book my Boma breakfast even though it was an extra day out...so looking forward to some good eating this December :)
