Called in at 7:00 (also had to endure Splash Mtn Theme ). Was on hold for 8 minutes, got a very pleasant CM (Constance).
I had a mixed experience. I couldn't get Chef Mickey's or Boma on 8/29 (had to choose different days for both), and I couldn't get Le Cellier on 9/4 (didn't try another day).
Here's what I got. All in all I'm satisfied because I did manage to get my "must haves" (Chef Mickey's and Boma), but I didn't get my first choice date/time on either restaurant:
8/29: Still don't know... I couldn't get my choices
8/30: Plaza (12:00 pm)
8/31: Les Chefs de France (12:00 pm)
9/1: Sci Fi (12:20 pm)
9/2: Chef Mickeys (5:05 pm)
9/3: Boma (7:10 pm)
9/4: Cape May Cafe (6:00 pm)
One thing the CM told my is that the system only searches for a time window that you provide. It seems to default to getting the closest time to the earliest time in your range. It is only showing the CM one time that fits the reservation criteria. So if you are giving them a range, hoping to shoot for something in the middle, you may want to start with a narrow range and widen it to get your time. I like lunch at 12:30, so I started by giving a 1 hour range (12 - 1 for lunch), and noticed at first I was getting the noon time exactly. By the third reservation, I changed to a smaller range, I got a time closer to 12:30.
Good luck everyone!
