I'm up but it's not working for me.

I have tried for the last week to use the online reservation system. I've tried in the morning, mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon, early evening. I've not been able to get it to work. Not once. It's always this:

Sorry, our system is currently experiencing high volume and we were unable to process your request. Please try again. If you receive this response several times, please try returning at a later time.

I'll just stick with the phones, I guess. What an incredibly jacked-up system.

WHOO HOO!!!! ME TOO ME TOO!!!!
Everything I wanted, times a little different for some but within half hour.

I coulda even got Cindy's but didn't want it! Hooo Haw!!!!!

Can't believe how easy and awesome on-line ressies worked for me.

From start to finish for 11 ressies 45 minutes!

Time to go BACK to bed!

Good luck to ALL!!!!

I got mine as well..plus one or two extra. I had some trouble finding the times I wanted...especially for dinners. Had to readjust my thinking and go with late lunch at Crystal Palace and Coral Reef. I have CP at 3:15 although it says lunch stops at 3 and dinner starts at 4. We'll see what happens.
Now...off to try for CP package in 9 mins.

TBGOES2DISNEY, what's going on? Anything I can help with? I am sorry you are having troubles...Sorry everyone else is having an issue with the online system.

 

[momtobrynncess]

Just dialed the number now, and I am on hold. Just announced my estimated hold time is approximately 4 days........

Just kidding.... 4 minutes..........

Holding.........

Thanks. I'm on hold on the phone now. The website found my res info, but it still wouldn't let me do +10.

mom2-

Ask about the modifications on the dining! I am on hold but let me know if you find out. My estimated hold time... didn't even say... instead of __ minutes it came on something in spanish... seriously! So it is a mystery

Also I found I had to use firefox to do reservations. I had Google Chrome ready but the pull-downs for the kids ages didn't show up

K I am making BBB adr now...will ask when through....

 

[goofy4tink]

Well....couldn't get the CP pkg I wanted. I wanted the late show on 12/3...evidently so did everyone else!!! Not one place was available for that one. So had to go with the 6:45 show, and not a ton of choice for restaurant there either!! Settled on Coral Reef and have to eat at 3:40!! Yikes. Oh well, better than nothing I guess.
Who would have thought so many people were booking this at two TS credits??!!!

 

[momtobrynncess]

Ok, if you want to hang up, I guess you can. Or see if you get a different answer. My CM told me that she didn't think it was a huge deal to remove two people from the reservation. She said they would just seat you at a different table, or if they didn't have a different table, they would seat you at the same table. I guess we will find out when we get there?

I'm still on hold and it still won't let me do it online.

 

[Dibblette]

Thanks mom2... So they didn't say whether you can do it on the phone beforehand?

Yeah Coral Reef, I got a 4:05 on dec 4. I wasn't planning on CR to be the one that had no options with the reservations.

I only did dining reservations. My girls are too young for BBB (twins 2 1/2) and my son would have no interest

Surprises and miracles do happen, I was able to get my ressie's done in about 15 minutes. I was logged in and ready to go about 5 full minutes before 6AM and my "window of available dates" opened up at @ 5:58. It went smoothly and all were within 15 of my preferred times except one which was about 35 minutes later (Chef Mickey's for breakfast) so I of course took the later time. Good luck to everyone else in the Dec state of mind...

Congratulations on getting all your choices!! My window opens next Monday and I hope I'll be as lucky as you...

I have some questions about opening multiple tabs. Will it let you put your resort reservation number in each tab? Do you open one tab for each restaurant you want? Do you set them up before 6:00, then submit them all at 6:00?

Thanks for the help!

I opened one tab for each restaurant I wanted. (About 9 of them). Once you enter your resort reservation number into one window, your computer should recognize that you are "signed in" on all of your tabs, so you should only have to enter the ressie number once. I got set up at about 5:45, because it took me that long, and I wanted to be ready at 6 on the dot. You will have to wait until 6 am on the dot (or 5:59 as some have experienced), before it will let you access the date you want, then enter the date, time and number of people you want to, then submit. It was so easy. My heart was pounding because I was afraid I would miss CRT, but the exact time I wanted was right there. Good luck!!!

She said you could call ahead, and that it shouldn't be a big deal.

Thanks for the tips! I'll do the same as you on Monday morning.
