OK, so I had to break down and get connected to a travel agent, since my ADRs open on the same day my daughter has college orientation. So I will be mostly unavailable for the day (especially when the phone lines open up).
The task has several 8 am reservations and Be our guest for dinner, Le Cellier but since the lunch went to 2 credits and fixed pricing all day as well I figure that whole market will have changed.
I have to let her do her job and if she gets them all she will be my Disney hero, and I will tell you all who she is, if not I will remain quiet.
She has already told me some things I did not know and I have been researching for the past 300 days and then had 2 previous trips with plenty of planning. So we are off to a good start.
I had made my own initial reservation, was able to include Photopass+, Mickeys Christmas party tickets, and insurance. Note that when I called in the deposit was only $200 vs the higher amount that the website was looking for (I think it wanted about 10%)
Planning is a lot of work and actually booking all those ADRs is even more work, so I am kind of glad to get out of that job.
