On Hold For Over An Hour!!

I've been on hold with WDW central reservations for over an hour waiting to modify my reservation for June 14.
AP rates became available and I can save $200 for the three nights I'm staying at the Contemporary.
I'm disgusted enough to hang up and call again!

Re: On Hold For Over An Hour!!

I did get fed up and called back.
Now because it's after 10 PM, I'm getting a recording that they're closed!!!!

Re: On Hold For Over An Hour!!

Oh the things we do for our love of Disney. Honestly, who else would anyone stay on hold that long for?

That happened to me last year. I waited on hold forever then called back only to hear they were closed. I think I got lost in some black hole and never would have been picked up.

Better luck tomorrow.

Re: On Hold For Over An Hour!!

Insult to injury department:
I called the Contemporary switchboard, which we all know is really a central switchboard for all of the WDW resorts and wasted even more time because they insist they have no way of getting through to CRO.
75 minutes on hold for this?!
I'm so angry right now that I wouldn't want to have to deal with me.
And then they have the balls to say "I'm sorry" and "Have a magical day"!

This isn't right!

I don't think I've ever been on hold this long.
I should have hung up at 9:58 and called right back instead of holding.
I'm sure I'll get it sorted out tomorrow, but that isn't the point.
The point is a 75 minute toll call followed by another 25 minutes of inaction because I was stupid enough to think the resort switchboard would be of any use instead of just giving up and calling in the morning.
The point is I wasted over an hour and a half of my life for no reason.

I'm venting now.

Top this all off, I've now got a splitting headache.

The only thing I can think is that you got into a different center/queue than I was in. Sorry for your long wait!

CJ, if you can manage to get over 100 posts, you'll be able to add this nifty countdown timer.

Re: On Hold For Over An Hour!!

they just released the new passholder rates and it gets busy,but like all big companies ....sometimes one hand doesn't know what the other is doing...many years ago when they released the rates they also on that same day day had traing scheduled and only had sckeleton crew manning the phones for reservations ...so you never know ..BUT if you don't get the rate be sure to tell them you were on hold and you waitied so long and they closed and never told you ....good luck
