We're at 180 and I can't call until 7am

I will be there that week too! Hey hey hey! Its a Dis Par-tay! Where's everyone staying? We'll be at the BC and AKL!

And yes the HDDR is a fantastic time! And no it shouldn't be too late to book.

We'll be at the GF.

After our trip there last May, my mom refuses to stay anywhere else!

WEll, how did you make out? Tomorrow morning is my day! My husband has had enough of my questions and planning. Hopefully I am well planned enough. ANy advice?

1. Be prepared to be on hold. The dates for most of the codes began on 8/10 and the 180-day mark for the 8/10 people (like me) was on Tuesday. I called at exactly 6am (CST) and I was on hold for 15 minutes.

2. Start with the hardest to get ADR's. We arrive on 8/10, but we're doing CRT on 8/12 and Le Cellier on 8/14. We started with those, and then went back to 8/10 and did the rest of the reservations in order (we're doing the DxDDP so we had A LOT of ADR's to make).

3. Have a pen and paper handy. Write down the confirmation #'s and take them with you when you travel just in case they lose your ADR, they can look it up by confirmation #.

4. Make sure you get a CM who knows what they're talking about and will explain everything to you. We did a lot of research, so we knew everything we were told (no tank tops in Narcoosee's, Princesses are not guaranteed at Akershus, CRT is two credits, etc), but it was nice to hear her go over it with us in case we didn't know. We had three CM's tell us our 180-days was 2/2...190 days out (they didn't understand the 180+10 rule) so our faith in CM's was a bit tarnished (I usually book all of our vacations on my own, online, but we had to call for this one to use our code).

Good luck! ixiedust:

I just finished making our ADR's a few minutes ago. I tried calling just before 7 am est and I got a message first that they are not open, then I got through the 2nd try. You have to go through answering the questions about langueage, how many visits, etc. I was able to get all of my ADR's within 10 minutes of what I wanted, including CRT, Ohana and Coral Reef. I was on the phone almost 12 minutes total. Now I can stop worrying and just wait for the trip to come...180 days and counting!

a little after midnight and I'm kavetching over trying for our prospective CRT ADR in 6 1/2 hours....

1) Start your count down.
2) Stay alert and active for the next 6-hrs.
3) Now, come and sing along . . . two million bottles of beer on the wall . . .

Called Tuesday for our 180+10 ADR's and got everything we wanted at the times we wanted except our lunch at CP ended up at 11:50 instead of noon. Looking forward to our trip!
