If it was an 800 number it would be staffed to keep the wait times down. When the guest is footing the bill, "Oh well! We'll get to you when we can!"

wow thats a long time.

I made reservations last night for Chef Mickey's and it took 1 hr and 10 min to do so. I was on hold for 15 min when a cm answered and because of the size of our party she needed to connect me to group reservations and up front she told me that it was taking around 20 min or longer to get someone to help with making those accomodations. The cm was very polite and checked back with me every 15 min to be sure I wanted to continue holding.

Yesterday (Sun, March 1) we were on hold for 3 hours and my cell went dead so I had to call back and was on hold another two hours. I was told there were 100 people in the que while I was waiting 2 hours. If Disney cannot handle 100 callers when they have 50,000 ppl going through the MK on one day, Then I would say, "Yes, They have a staffing issue!"

That is out of control! Especially since it is a long distance phone call. I think the DDP has ruined the Disney Dining Experience. I hate having decide my vacation schedule this far in advance. I want to wake up in the morning and decide what I want for dinner that night. Now I have this complicated spreadsheet with all the ADRs. Then you have to decide what park to visit based on where you are eating. I tried to get ADRs mostly at DTD and the resorts because the park TS establishments are so packed!
We are doing the DDP only because I have a very "thirfty" husband and I want to be able to order whatever I want without his head exploding.

I agree - these are insane wait times to schedule ADRs. While I understand that the new system went live a week ago and it is taking awhile for the CMs to adapt, you would think they would ADD CMs to pick up the calls that are pouring into the queues. I cannot imagine being on hold for up to three hours!!!

I called to make reservations for my Aug. trip I was on hold for 25 min. and later in the afternoon I was on hold for 30 min. I am calling from Massachusetts and I am afraid the phone bill for this month will be high and my husband will not let me take the trip I am planning can't they do something about the long time on hold? also the dining reservations are just as bad it woudln't be bad if it was a toll free number.

Just as a heads-up, you won't be able to make most of your dining reservations for awhile (with the exception of Hoop-De-Doo or something similar). For general ADRs, the arrival date is currently on or about June 3rd. We will be arriving on June 13th, and our ADR call time for standard ressies is on March 15th.

1) Disney has reduced the number of CM hours, thus available phone staffing.
2) They also reduced the hours of at-home ressie people. *
3) At times, the waits can be long.
* There are many work-from-home non-employee people who contract to do ressies. They can make $9.00-$12.00 per hour. WDW is making less hours available at this time.

I just called to make a reservation for June 2 at the California Grill and spoke to a person in about 3 min. (After going through the touch tone stuff at the beginning).
Will have to make some more reservations later, hope it won't be that bad!

I hope it gets worked out. Two - three hours on hold is obscene. I would rather take that time and go off property to eat then waste it sitting on the phone like that.
-
I went through the same thing with the wait times (over 3 hrs total), my cell died twice. Then the 3rd time, when I finally got through I found out that I had been given info that was incorrect for booking. So I still have to call back.
I hate having to get a group to decide what they want to eat ahead of times too! But I know it is impossible to eat where we want otherwise.
