What Reservation are you Chasing?

[Jeankableem]

I'm searching for a CRT for the rest of my party and a BOG for the rest of my party. I have one of each for four but I need them for 8 Grrrrrrr. I check online and call very often and never see anything. I've seen a few CRT but never for the time I need them at. If I could get another ADR at least close to the same time we have ours now that would rock!!

I was talking to one of the CMs on Friday trying to change my stay dates and we somehow ended up talking about how it was almost impossible to get an ADR to BOG and she asks me to hold on for a sec so she can check as sometimes they have more luck. So she puts me on hold for at least twenty mins and comes back and tells me she has great news for me, I got super excited, I could not believe that she was able to get me a BOG reservation for my whole party, my heart rate sped up and I was so happy and he great news was that we could go for lunch without an ADR, I was like really lady, are you serious, thats your great news that we could go for lunch. I totally wanted to hang up on her. I can't believe that she would think that was such a great news, she was really excited about it too.

If someone sold ADR's on ebay I would totally buy it just to be done looking, lol

Totally agree about Ebay! Lol

It's funny I just checked ebay and they only have CRT glass mugs and vhs singalong for be our guest lol. I bet if Disney calls weren't recorded we could bribe someone to get us the ADRs we want. They can set up a paypal so we could put funds into their account and they can fix all our ressie issues, lmaobvs

lol I thought about checking ebay, too!

Hi! I am new to Disney.

Are the character dining experiences really worth it?

Thanks!

 

[Mambo Junkie]

They are if you have children (or you yourself) love the characters. It also eliminates having to chase some of them down in the parks. For instance, I told my DIL about the Cinderella meet and greet fast pass, and she said, "but we'll meet her at the CRT dinner". I will have 2 granddaughters, ages 2 and 4, and we are doing CRT, Crystal Palace, H&V, 1900 Park Fare. I am looking forward to the dining experiences as much as I am to the characters!

We like the princess meals. I'm looking for either CRT or Akershus. I keep stalking but have not found. I was able to snag H&V for lunch and 1900 for dinner on a non park day but unsure if I am going to keep it. I keep hear good and bad about 1900. I would probably cancel if able to get one of the other Princesses meals. I still have 63 days left to stalk.

Thank you guys! I hope to get into some! My girls will love it!

I have started a new quest with my ADRs. After having gotten everything I wanted.. I started thinking that maybe I didnt need to do a 1900 breakfast and a CP breakfast the next morning (our last morning). SOOOO instead I am looking for an Ohana early dinner our last day before we leave to drive home. I think i am going to second guess myself all the way until we get there. ITs only another 100 something days or so....

 

[Jeankableem]

Searching for a better CP dinner....... I'm hopeful! I see things constantly coming up!!

 

[katelynh]

Can't book anything! Everything is filled!

dont worry... if you want to feel better search for tomorrow and just look at everything available. People cancel last minute to aviod paying the fee so there is always hope until the day of.

 

[likelikingthings]

We just rejiggered our park days, so although I started with some great options (pre=opening CP; fireworks at Ohana), I'm now starting from scratch!

Currently chasing Ohana and BOG for our new Magic Kingdom days.

Good tip!! I just checked that out...WOW! Gives me hope!!

Just want to say that when we were at H&V last week for breakfast, they were accepting walk up guests! Saw a couple of families admitted after waiting only a few minutes. This was for LATE breakfast ( after 10.00, )but still might be better than nothing, so seems worth asking .

 

[Ilovemyprincesses]

Keep trying and don't give up. We were there in Feb during free dining. Not a single CRT anything at any time or BOG dinner opened up. Not one. I tried all the time. I tried so much that when there, an awesome phone cast member and a hotel cast member both even called me back a few times because they were on the case trying to help. No luck. They were both awesome and so sweet, but not able to get a party of 3 in.

So please don't count on it being available based on what you see for next week's availability. It could happen, but last time for us it didn't. The cast members when I call are SHOCKED that there's nothing available from November 9th through the 20th. And several say sounding amazed, "Wow! There's not even any 1900s or a Cape May breakfast!!!"

I'm going the same day and the fact that it has been impossible to get any dining reservations makes me worry about reserving fast passes and how crowded the park will be.
I was able to get BOG by checking 100 times a day and at odd times. 1:30am worked for me.

ITA! I'm very worried about A&E fastpasses. Really if they offered them for pay as they did some things at DL I'd buy one just so I knew we could go this time. I had to promise kiddo that we'd do it this trip (in fact this was what I asked my DH for my bday--to go back to Disney!).

When we were last there, the family we gave our free fastpass to (we were leaving for home and a restaurant offered it to us because of an order mixup) said they'd waited 8 HOURS to see A&E and were only able to because they had 5 adults who switched off every hour to stand in the line.

The crowd calenders though don't look worse than in February when we were there, so it shouldn't be summer crowds. I hope.

So excited, just got Liberty Tree Tavern for Christmas Day! New mission is better times for CRT and CP and/or a BOG dinner. (Really wish we could meet the Beast somewhere else and I'd be perfectly happy just to stick to lunch at BOG)

The only thing my girls keep asking is can we meet A&E? I told them I can't promise them but I will try. I am not willing to spend hours waiting in line.

I was completely discouraged, but by stalking the app, I did manage to get (4) for us for our Sept 24 -28 trip. I am still bitter about th eamount of time I spent working on it, but I guess it will pay off when I don't have to stand in line for hours.

No chasing for me - got all my ressies today at my 180+10 mark. Just hoping for the elusive A&E fastpass when my 60 days open in December! I'm hoping A&E may be added to Akershus by then!
