I got a 45 minute wait time and got through at 43 minutes. I already had a reservation at Tutto Italia for the night of 12/30. They booked me into the CP first and then canceled the old reservation. I got 5:20 reservations with 8:15 show.
I just realized- or DH pointed out- that if I then get on hold for an hour our phone bill is going to be high.... this is really giving me such a bad taste about Disney... why can they not get their act together about this?
LOL. I had to borrow DH's cell phone because our land line doesn't have long distance and I have a pay as you go plan on my cell phone. Shocking I know. It's only at times like these (once a year) that I wish I had a regular plan.
After 49+ mins of redialing, I finally got through. Wait time is estimated to be over 1 hour - have had music the whole time (only 4 mins thus far).
This will be our 6th time to go to WDW in Dec and attend the CP. I've always called the day reservations opened, and have NEVER had to wait like this.
Maybe Disney being forthcoming with what date they were going to open things on their blog has created this? Make me miss the days it was up to CM hearsay to figure out when the packages were going to be able to book!
