DisneyWorld question:
Weeks or even months ago I booked all my Nov. DW dining reservations on the first day of eligibility. I booked online at My Disney Experience. I reserved something at AK and Epcot I liked but "Be Our Guest" was not available.......seemingly already booked. Now that our Disney vacation is getting closer(early Nov.) my wife is starting to think about it. She texted me: "Can we eat at Beauty and the Beast Castle for lunch or dinner?" I texted back that "I know my wife....I know that is what you hope for....and on the first day I was eligible to book I tried "Be Our Guest" first but it was all booked up." She texted back w/ an emoji

#1 Can people still book the old fashion way?.....with the representative on the phone?
#2 If yes....Would there be any point for me to call every once in awhile in case there are CANCELATIONS?

Any chance I could still swap my Tony's Town Square reservation and slide into a lunch or dinner spot at Be Our Guest????
