Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread #3-book @ 180 Days Now!

[Suzanne033]

The funny thing is I called yesterday and today and asked also about 11/29 (we get in that day) and 12/1 and 12/6 and I was told that it was not open yet. This is just crazy with all these different answers. Not cool Disney

If the CM is telling you it's not open have them check the inventory. If they see no one is booked for a particular night it likely means it's not open for reservations yet.

I just called about 12/6-12/12. The rep said it's not booking yet and that no one is booked for November or December yet. She recommended that I check the website every morning at 5am(CST).

U mm yeah they are wrong.....Nov already released and some have stated parts dec.... when in doubt call call call and call again.....but 100 percent sure all of Nov has been released

I booked my reservation for early November more then a month ago.

 

[1mama2three]

I called this morning and I was told that they have already released bookings for Nov. & Dec. & that everything was just booked really quickly. Good grief...I can't believe it is so hard to get a straight answer. I was really holding out hope...

Agree-- They are definitely wrong- ! I booked for 11/29 on May 31st---- my card was charged, and I have a conf #---- spoke with TWO different CM's, just to confirm the ressie, and both said we are "good to go"---

I would definitely speak with another CM, or maybe a mgr?

 

[Suzanne033]

I always have the CM check the inventory for the night I want. That shows all the bookings. If there aren't any bookings the night isn't open yet.

I have called the last four days and talked to several different CMs and a manager and have been told that December is not available yet. They checked the inventory and no one is book for the first week of December.

I hope this is right as it will actually give me a chance at an ADR. We're only staying four nights and that makes the hard to get places pretty much impossible to get. It's not like we can put the Dessert Party and BoG six or eight days into the trip using our plus 10 booking window. I tried for them on our last night, which is only four days in but as far out as I can possibly go. I had no luck with BoG but now I still have hope for the Dessert Party.

I'm looking for December 9th which is a party night. I'm not sure if that makes it any easier or any harder to get.

I will keep checking though, and if I see anything open I will post right away.

This is the same info I was given by 4 separate CMs (3 CMs from dining, 1 CM from club IPO.) I'm checking regularly during the day, calling daily, and IPO has me on the wait list. Hopefully they open rest of the December nights soon.

Day 5 of my torture: No luck for December 6. :-( but I am a trooper. I will keep trying.

This stinks. I generally enjoy the planning phase, but this is not fun.

Thats great you have tickets!!! So on 11/7 thats a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party night. How does that work, do you have to buy tickets to that as well? We have tickets for the FDP on a night that they don't have the MVMC party.

 

[Drnifer]

I'm also on day 5 of calling for 12/6 and have been checking online a few times during the day. Usually the time says 9:00 pm but now it says 6:00 pm. Do you think that's significant? Or a computer glitch? Why is this so stressful?

We are arriving on 12/12 and I am doing my last minute research (which is really just an extension of the research I've been doing for the past 4 months). Just read this whole thread and my stomach is in knots! My 180 starts at 6am on Sunday, so I will be up and ready. I know it's not guaranteed and if nothing is open, I will call (and continue to do so). Any tips? We are hoping for a reservation on 12/15 - we've never done it before and are hoping we can get it. Fingers crossed!

Best tip I found on here for this year was using the FDP main page to book it, that way I could see the available dates bolded on the calendar (greyed out no Wishes) This allowed me to booked very quickly online. Select the Tomorrowland Restaurant from the drop down before looking at the calendar! Oh and make sure you are signed in to your Disney account online otherwise you won't see the 180+10 days out. Good Luck!

Yes, you have to have MVMCP tickets to do the Fireworks party. We have our tickets for a MVMCP party night and it did say when we made the online reservation that we had to have tickets to the party or we would not be allowed in.

 

[Priory]

Very strange how they've switched many December times to 6:00pm. That makes me hopeful that the dates haven't actually opened yet, but it's also weird because there's no conceivable scenario where it would start at 6:00 right?

 

[GrasshopperCrush]

They started off earlier today going from 8 to 6 on Dec. 6th to just 6pm. I'm just give out over this! I have been calling and checking non-stop since June the 4th. I've been told so many different things that I don't know which way is up! We've been having storms here with power off 6 hours last night and cell phones out most of today. I've been running ragged trying to still keep up with trying to see if they open up Dec. 6th. Why want they just open it up already?! However I did get the holiday sleigh ride booked for Dec. 3rd!
