Word to the wise...start calling at 6:58:00 atomic time!!

Hi,

Been trying to get a PS for the last 4 days. Every day I made sure 3 I was dialing the last digit of the 407- number so that by the time the call got connected, it was exactly 7:00:00 atomic time. When this happened, the office was open, but I didn't get a reservationist until 7:07 or 7:15 one day. Way too late. Today just for the heck of it, I called at 6:58:12 atomic time. The CRO was open!! Within 2-3 seconds a reservationist was on the line with me!! I was offered a 9:10am slot!!

Unfortunately, we have no interest in going the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, and certainly don't want to be eating breakfast at 9:10 just when the park opens and we can be going on rides (I have very young children so I need to make the most of the morning hours!). So yes, I turned them down. We're happy with our reservation at Tony's (with Pooh!) for Tuesday morning at 8:05am, and a dinner at CRT that evening.

But definitely start calling before 7am, and hitting redial if need be. By 7am atomic time is too late.

This tip is on the money! Thanks! You helped me get a seating at CRT on my 5th day of trying.

It took me five days too, and I finally got mine @ 6:58 as well. Only one phone was picked up that early, the others kept saying they were still closed. Did you guys notice that there is also different hold music on different phones at the same time?

I got my CRT and LTT ressies between 6:58 and 7:03 when we hung up.

As my DH and I were calling this AM for LTT ressies on T-giving, I got through on the cell phone while at the same time he was getting the "our office is closed" message on the regular phone! He did get thru right after that, but by then I had a "live" person on the phone w/ my PS made, so he just hung up. I'm not sure of the time, but it was within minutes of 7:00, probably a couple of minutes before.
