but all was good!

Well, I was looking forward to using the new online dining system, but we looked at it last night and felt something was wrong...today was our day to book for check-in of Sept. 22, but last night the system was only showing up until Sept 20

Did we count wrong? What was up?

So we got up early this morning to check it out and got this message when we tried to book a reservation:"Soon we will be adding the ability to book dining reservations online. To make your dining reservations, please call ...."

So I called the number listed and it wasn't even Dining Reservations, it was Technical Support????

Oh, my, it was looking bad. The Tech Support person didnt even know the Dining system was down! Apparently it was messed up yesterday, not allowing the correct days, and came back up after my long call to Disney Dining!

Well, at this point I was thinking there was a long hold in my future, but I only held for less than 5 minutes. When I got someone on the phone, I started by trying to book Le Cellier for day 10 of our stay, figuring we had the most chance of booking on our 10th day and we got the perfect time, 4:50! YEAH!!! The bad news was we couldn't get 1900 Park Fare for our first night - until 8:50 and we were planning on attending the Halloween Party that night...well, it ended up all good, as we changed it to 1900 Park Fare for a late breakfast on the same day.

Here is what we got and we are thrilled:

9/22 10:45 am 1900 Park Fare, my son's actual birthday and special meal
Halloween Party that night
9/23 7 pm, Boma
9/24 6:30 Marrakesh
9/25 10:05 Ohana Best Friends Breakfast, then AK for Picnic in the Park
9/26 4:05 Whispering Canyon
9/27 Wolfgang Puck Express, DTD (no adr needed)
9/28 Beach/Kennedy Space Center, no ADRs
9/29 3:55 Hollywood and Vine, Fantasmic Dinner Package
9/30 7:20 Narcoosee's (our FAVE!)
10/1 4:50 LE CELLIER!!!!
10/2 we tried for the new Cat Cora restaurant, but they said they are not taking ressies yet, will probably book something just in case....
10/3 haven't decided, our last day

So excited, can't stand it!!!

It never feels real until you make the ADRs, to me. Can't wait!
