Correct. A hotel or package reservation is not required. Over the phone they may ask for a reservation number, just tell them you don't have one, staying off site, whatever. Online they don't ask, but you do have to be signed into an account to make a dining reservation. You don't have to be...

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 wouldn't correlate crowds and Be Our Guest reservation demand too much. In my experience, some of the busiest times can have better restaurant availability, and slower times have less availability. Just different types of travelers go at different times. An hour ago November 26 and 27 had...

Yes, exactly. If your agent seems distracted and slow, it's probably because they are watching a constant steam of information and chatter about this situation. If you talk to 5 different people, you're also likely to get 5 different responses. I also wonder how many 1 penny transactions...

In one of my phone calls, they said they're only taking reservations for an hour and a half on party days (I'm assuming 4:00-5:30). A little math and you can see how that makes this situation even tougher.

It appears dining agents aren't able to add CC guarantee to the reservations made through the automated system. The phone agent may need to call Guest Services or transfer you to Guest Services to add it, resulting in a new confirmation number. I'll just throw out a reminder to be patient and...

I'd classify this as "developing situation." Someone I'd trust said they're still working on a solution, but the best bet would be to book a new reservation talking to a person, with a CC guarantee. Of course everything is booked, so that is impossible. Currently transferred to a regular...

You may need to wait for the dust to settle and call back to have them pull it up with your name/phone number. I don't think there is a way to pull up a reservation online without a confirmation number. I can tell you what the likely first 8 digits are, if you have even the slightest idea what...

Same 407-WDW-DINE. Just go through the prompts and don't say "agent." "Be Our Guest" is a valid restaurant selection. The key today is just being lucky enough to get through. I'd also say that if you're trying for a reservation on a party night, ask for 5 as your reservation time. If you...

I've never received an email confirmation or reminder when making reservations over the phone. Even when they take one from me, it's not resulted in anything. Although I haven't tried with mine yet, you should be able to pull it up online.

Here's how it worked out for me- Starting at 7, even my back end line didn't work. Got through a few minutes past 7. Ended up being on hold for 50 minutes when I hung up. Used another phone to call and make reservations using the automated system. Normally I hate it since it takes so long...

It's par for the course with scheduled releases like this. Be friendly with your redial button :)

Yep! :p

That is amazing. If I saw one of those when I was a kid, I'd probably have nightmares for years.

If your trip/the date you're considering is before February 16, 2013, you should have no problems booking without a reservation on Monday. Any dates after that you'd have to wait until the 180 day mark.

I think dining line is going to spend 5 hours on Monday saying "Reservations don't open until noon..." If I were rolling this out, I'd pay my voice over artist to record a spiel for when the line first picks up. When I first saw the release time, I wondered if they're throwing a bone to...

Just in case others haven't experienced these types of scheduled releases, I've found that getting connected is the hardest part of the process. I've experienced this booking Candlelight Processional and Food & Wine events in the past, and I'm guessing this will put a comparable (if not more)...

Interesting! Upside - I don't have to get up before to sun to be on the phone at 7 am :) Downside - instead of opening up reservations online, I'll be on hold for an hour :(

Back in July when they raised the walls, Kevin Yee said there would be an entrance to the new building back in the indoor seating/Kidcot area. Not sure if that is still the plan.

It was with the motion sickness section at our Walgreens. Dramamine & other pills, sea bands, and this ginger gum were all in a tiny section together in the larger digestive aids section. I haven't seen it in other stores, but I haven't look other places. It was Sea Band's brand of ginger gum.
