I know we've talked a little about Be Our Guest in this other post, but I wanted to start one where we straight up talk about who wants to go!
I'll be on the phone 8/20 trying to get an ADR. Who else will be?

I think just about everyone & anyone thats going to be there after it opens is going to try to get in at some point during there trip for either a CS or a TS meal. We are still waiting for the news about special passholder or AP previews that they were talking about.
I won't be able to try it until next June, so no mad rush for me.
We'll do it for lunch one day in January, so no reservations required.
Fellow Americans, I hear your tambourines inside my head and that's no lie!
I will be calling the 20th. I have 5 nights to choose from, so hopefully between those 5 nights I can at least get one reservation.
MEEEEEEEEEE!! I have reminders on my calendar at work to call... can't wait!
I guess I got to book it for when we go. I wanted to wait till next year for the rush to die down just a tad, but Jess wants to be one of the first in there. So were gonna book it. I just told her that I don't want to get rid of any of the three places we have already chosen so it will have to be added. Just call me Mr. Scrooge!

NOT 7am. I don't like getting up that early. They moved it from noon to 7 am

We are too! If you and Scrappy see it first, will you let me know? I'm really hoping to jump on a preview!

I just read this on the Disney Parks Blog. I'm wondering if the special preview for AP holders will be prior to the 19th.

"I just got off the phone with Disney Dining. The Cast member I spoke with said that reservations for the restaurant during its preview dates (which is Novemebr 19 " December 6), have to be by certain types of people/guest. She said you have to be either a Cast Member, DVC member or a WDW Annual Passholder. If this is true, this should be noted on the Disney Parks Blog."

"Katie- I have verified that this is NOT correct. The restaurant will be open to any guest wishing to make reservations during this time."
I sort of figured that it would be. Thanks for providing that info, JoAnn. Bless their hearts. They really need to give the Disney Dining CMs a heads up on this kind of thing. That's a terrible position to be in.

I can't remember if it was on the Disney Parks Blog or the Disney Food Blog, but someone commented they spoke to a Disney Dining CM and mentioned something about the dates for BOG were announced and the CM didn't know anything about it.
I saw that! Bless their hearts.
. Bless their hearts. [b]They really need to give the Disney Dining CMs a heads up on this kind of thing. That's a terrible position to be in[/b].
They should give them notice, memos, something. I remember a couple of minutes after it was posted here, I called Disney dining and to ask it the reservation were available for Nov19th only as a preview or every day after the Nov 19th was available.
She had no clue they had put out the message on the blog for the 20th at noon. I got "when did you hear this? "Where did you get your info?" "I don't see anything here, can I put you on hold?" She came back after about 4 or 5 minutes and verified the info, but she had no clue at first.
I would think that they would inform the CM's before the public. Just so they are ready for questions and don't seem so clueless or unprepared. In the end we were on the same page, but I could still sense her frustration about not knowing ahead of time.
I can't wait

Must have been your commment I remembered reading about the CM who had no idea the information of BOA was posted.
I agree, they should have some sort of heads up.
Ugh. You guys are making me want to go to Disney so bad. I wish I had a few thousand bucks sitting around..lol.
omnia mea mecum porto.

I got thur I got thur
I got 3 reservations
Yay!! Congrats! Keep the faith Mase, you'll get in!
Congrats! Im still trying... lol
Keep the faith. I did the dial, hang up, dial, hung up thing for 2 hours 23 minutes. Never been more happy to hear that tinkerbell sound in my life. You can do it.
I even scored Le Cellier lunch reservation while waiting on the phone.
I'll bet there are a few frustrated telephone operators on the other end of that line.

For the first time ever I made mine through a computer. The automated service did it all. I was little worried at first but it worked out.
I feel for the cm though.
Oh... I got more faith now because at least I now know SOMEONE got in and they just didn't turn the system off or something... lol. I just got more motivated... lol
