Ok, I guess some of the character meals fill up faster then others. And, I have read several times about calling a specfic number of days in advance. But, last week I called and Made PS for Chef Mickey at the Contemporary for March 21st,2002. There was no problem getting reservations for that morning. Now maybe because I wasnt picky on the time. That is going to be a "free" day for us seeing that my parents will be driving up from Ft Lauderdale to spend time with us and they do not want to go to the parks. So ,I thought that would be a cute idea to share a little "Disney" withthem without going into the parks. We were offered 7:30am or 11am(7:30 was a little too early seeing we are not staying at a Disney resort). I picked 11am to give us plenty of time to get over there and maybe just walk around the hotel and look at stuff.So I guess calling ahead of time is a great idea if you want a specific time.
