A note on the Fantasmic! packages. I called March 23 exactly our 90 day ADR date, at 6:59:25, was on hold for four minutes and got an outstanding CM named Scarlet who was very polite and professional. I was able to get everything I wanted within 15 minutes of when I wanted except for Le Cellier and F! pkg. Le Cellier I could get for dinner but a little too late for our kids, so we took Tutto Italia instead - really just as happy with that.
For Fantasmic, she could not find anything the entire 9 days of our stay, at any time for either Mama Melrose (the one we wanted) or H&V. I could have taken Brown Derby for the date we wanted but did not want to spend 2TS credits on it. I re-thought that about an hour later figuring I could always look for a cancellation or drop it later, and called back, waiting about 40 minutes on hold but it was gone.
I then called exactly 90 days from the date I wanted the ADR, which was March 27 - again at 6:59:25. This time the system gave me an estimated wait time, new feature since five days earlier, of six minutes. Exactly six minutes later I was connected to another excellent CM named Oriel (I wonder if I should have written down Ariel??) who found me a H&V + F! for the date we wanted. It is kind of early at 3:20 but that's ok - I just wanted that show pkg for DS. We'll eat early, go do some stuff when everyone else is eating at "normal" dinner times and use a snack credit for before the show.
Anyone who is having trouble getting what they want 90+10, try calling back on exactly the 90 day from when you want it and see if that works. I really wonder if they hold some tables for each ADR 90 day otherwise popular ones could all be gone early in anyones vacation depending on whose +10 they run into.
Good luck and pixie dust to everyone still trying!
