Around 7:30/8:00 I got 4 reservations on the dates & times I wanted, scattered from late November to early January. By 10:30/11:00, the same dates in November were no longer available. It seems getting what you want is dependent on how early your call got through the system.
I got the day and close to the time that I wanted, but I called at 7:15am so that helped. I got reservations for November 19th so that's all I really cared about. The time really wasn't a factor for me.
Got through miraculously at 7am on the dot. The date/time I wanted was available but I made the reservation through automated ordering. BIG mistake. Thank goodness for these boards that I found out that without a CC#, the reservation would be thrown out of the system. So, back on the phone and after a long wait I was able to confirm my reservation with a credit card. Just a crazy morning.
I could not get any reservation for the week we are there! I was told that this morning after trying numerous times to get through, then on hold for 50 minutes. Just tried again, wait time was about 15minutes, and NO nothing! Hoping for openings on Wednesday, when online bookings opens...
Miserable calling experience...did not get the day I wanted (Nov 19), but I got my back up day for the time I wanted. And it all worked out OK since I was able to take my Nov 20th dinner adr and get the same exact thing for Nov 19. So, it works.
Unable to get anything from December 9th through 13th -- just as a heads up for anyone else trying....Of course some random things might pop up as people cancel, and I am sure some tables are reserved for WDW VIP guests....but there is nothing available for that period of time...
