Ok, we are going Dec. 7th thru the 14th and I made 8 ADRs this morning when I called at 8:05 am. I got thru to a person within 10 mins. I got all my requests within 20 minutes of desired times for 4 (3 adults, DD counts as adult now and 1 child). I must be wanting some odd ADRs and got lucky. We are eating at 50's PT, CP, Ohanas for dinner and breakfast, Chef Ms for breakfast, Biergarten. I'm excited and ready to go.
This was almost my exact experience. I got up at 3:45am PDT to be ready to call at 4:00am. I started dialing and re-dialing at 3:58 and got through at 3:59 according to my clock. I was on hold for less than a minute and made all of my ressies except for Yak & Yeti which is a 180 day only.
Here's mine:
Sunday, Dec. 7 - Boma - 8:20pm (wanted 8:15pm)
Monday, Dec. 8 - 50s Prime Time - 11:10am (wanted 11:00am)
Tuesday, Dec. 9 - Whispering Canyon Cafe - 5:15pm (preferred time)
Wednesday, Dec. 10 - Garden Grill - 11:40 (preferred time); Coral Reef - 6:10pm (wanted 6:00pm)
Thursday, Dec. 11 - 1900 Park Fare - 8:30am (preferred time); Jiko - 8:45pm (wanted 8:30pm)
Friday, Dec. 11 - Yak & Yeti - want earliest avail - have to call back on Sat.
Saturday, Dec. 12 - Ohana - 8:30pm (preferred time)
The only one I had even the remotest problem with was Coral Reef. I asked for 6:00pm and she told me there was NOTHING in the 6:00 hour and said she had a 4:30 or 8:50. I began to question her as to how that could be at this point and she started to say that it was just other guests having booked on their +10. I then asked point blank if those times were being held for CP packages at which point she paused for a moment and said yes. I then said I could go as early as 5:45pm if I had to, she asked me to hold for a second and then gave me the 6:10pm slot.
Admittedly, none of my others are necessarily must do and we eat at pretty off hours since we are 2 adults but I was shocked that I was able to get everything I wanted so easily and within 15 at the most (but still within the window I had allowed.)
It took me 21 minutes to make and record all of my ADRs and I was back in bed by 4:30am. Not a bad morning's work if you ask me!
