I have been calling for my ADR's at 6:59 am each day this week.
Today, I only needed one- a dinner at Jiko- around 6:30, ideally. I called, the woman, who did not sound very informed or professional, told me it was full. I said "all night?" She was quiet for a second, then said "Yes- from 5 to ten there is no availability for a table for two." She was then quiet and I finally told her, thanks and hung up.
I was so irritated, but I spent my drive to work thinking about contingency plans, how I could change my schedule, etc. Thinking of other places to eat.
At work, a friend of mine asked me for the Disney Dining number (she's planning a vacation for around the same time as me
) and I mentioned what happened. She called around 10 am and got what she wanted for that date.
When she inquired about any availability for CRT and another place for the next day she said "I know I can't reserve them till tomorrow, but would you just check if there's any availability for these places for tomorrow." There was only one for CRT at 12 and 4 or so for the other place- AND THE CM LET HER BOOK!!!!
Neither of us had reservation numbers to give, b/c she is in the process of finding someone to rent points from and I am staying at the Swan, so neither of us could do the 180 + 10 yet.
I was happy for her, but super irritated as I don't like to feel like I was treated unfairly and got the short end of the proverbial stick.
Anyway, my friend called Disney Dining with me there at work and she did the same thing-
asked them to check availability for Jiko, etc. and they booked me!
She gave my name, my number, my hotel info, etc. as I stood right next to her and I am booked for the exact time I wanted.
HOW CAN THAT BE?
Now, I am *extremely* happy to have the ADR
and I am thankful I have a friend to help me out,
but come on now, doesn't this sound shady for Disney Dining?
Now, if this were you, what would you do?
Would you keep quiet and assume all's well that ends well and that Jiko really was available?
Would you complain to Disney?
Would you call to confirm and have them check and make sure the ADR is really there? (I did hear her say the dates and everything) or what?
I'm just frustrated
and happy
and angry
and thankful
all at the same time (the drama of planning a WDW vacation!
) and I'd just like to know what others think of this.
Thanks!
