Introducing Myself

My name is Susana, and I am originally from Colombia. I have lived in the US since 2006. We go to Disney about every other year and use TL. This year DD is turning 15 and she asked for a trip to Disney with her best friend who has never been.
I love planning for trips (even if they end up not happening). It has been a good way to keep my mind away from other things.
The TP forums have been very helpful. Thank you to all the people who contribute.

Susana

PS: The only thing I have not been able to get is a reservation for California Grill.

Welcome to TP Forum! Most schools in the Gulf Coast region will have the first week of March off for Mardi Gras. I think the race weekend is probably effecting plans more. How many people are you trying to to get a reservation for at CG?

We are trying to get a CG reservation for five.

The conspiracy theory around GA is that they give as winter break in February at the request of the hotel industry to smooth the cash flows between December and March.
We tried skiing that week but by 11 yr old son doesn’t like it all.

Try booking a reservation for 6. The system does not like odd numbers.

This :point_up:
I have never eaten there but I know some restaurants have more tables for 6 tops then others. I don’t know if CG is one of them. Day of people may be dropping reservations too.
