I just joined... same first name and profile of me and kiddo so you should recognize it. when everyone joins we are going to need a cheat sheet of disboards names corresponding to real names. I'm already like "who is xxx?" and all I can see is @TiggerManiac !! If I can't figure it out with one person I am in trouble!
Impressive!!Man, this thread has been moving fast tonight!
Let's see... what all did I want to comment about before I tell y'all a story?...
I will probably do a trip report. After all this time and effort to plan, and even if it all goes crashing down mid-trip, I'd still want to know how y'all's trips turned out, so I'll share mine in the hopes other people do too.
My phone CM when I booked our tour and sleigh ride did specifically say I wouldn't get an email. She said the same thing about making a note on MDE so it shows up in my plans. I did read my confirmation numbers back to her to make sure I had them right since I wouldn't get an email.
10000 posts!!! What???
Okay, story time. So I decided after much encouragement from this very thread to go ahead and drop my Captain's Grille CP package and commit to the Garden Grill one. Both were for the 5:00pm CP. The thing is, though, since they were at the same time, I had the CG one on the MDE profile that had all my other dining, hotel, FPs, etc. The GG one was booked on another MDE profile that I had using my work email that basically had that one ADR on it and nothing else.
So I decided to get ballsy and try to drop it real fast and pick it back up on my other MDE so everything would be all nice and tidy on my one main profile. This goes off without a hitch... except that now it's given me the 8:15pm CP. This does not fit in my Epcot day plan of WS in the early pm, early CP, then FW in the late pm.
So I get ballsy again. I drop it again and pick it back up again. Now I have the 6:45pm CP. Progress, yes, but still not what I want. Now, we've reached the end of my work day, so due to the combination of needing to head home and also being scared to drop again for fear of somebody taking it out from under me, I call the dining line to see if they can just swap my CP time.
That did not go as planned. Bless her heart, my phone CM told me some mellarcky about breakfast CP's all getting 6:45pm, and lunches got 5:00pm. Aw honey, I'm sorry, but I've had at least 10 different breakfast CP reservations in the last two weeks, and that is just not the case. But I didn't say that. I thanked her for checking and said we'd just keep our 6:45pm and make it work (yeah right!).
I get off the phone, and I'm ranting. Roomie is in our living room ironing tablecloths for a work conference laughing her patootie off.
I get ballsy one more time. I drop it yet again and pick it back up. BOOM! 5:00pm CP.
And that, my friends, is how it's done. (If by that, we mean in a haze of profanity, anxiety, and frustration, and not a single ounce of confidence or bada$$ery.)
Edit to add: Would totally join the fb group, except that fb and I broke up about 2 weeks ago. We'd been together since 2005, but after much heartache and ugliness, I dumped it in favor of Twitter.
Yay, thanks @TiggerManiac ! Now we'll all know faces and won't accidentally shove one of our fellow group members out of the way at rope drop!
Lol!
thanks so much for creating the FB group!!
you mean you can do it on purpose now? lolYay, thanks @TiggerManiac ! Now we'll all know faces and won't accidentally shove one of our fellow group members out of the way at rope drop!
I think the system randomly assigns a CP time and there is no way to force it one way or the other except to do what you did. It is very annoying. Why can't you select and then if there is a conflict it won't let you? Glad it worked out.Man, this thread has been moving fast tonight!
