So we are 13 people. At some places like Teppan Edo I can book us all together. At others I can’t even break us up into two reservations because for some darn reason the max reservation size is 6. That’s so small, why oh why in the world can’t we do a party of 8 online? Any luck with this over the phone, but ugh, the phone is so 2010! LOL
I bet Disney just doesn’t want a lot large party ADRs. Maybe many get canceled or, if they have to make the table to accommodate a larger party, it throws off the rest of service? Maybe they want you to invest some time in getting the ADR to know you’re serious.
Do you know how much I’ve avoided in life because there was no online option? Lol. Necessities- no. But things that I don’t HAVE to do… Maybe they will get there digital shit together…
This is where I have some Gen X tendencies. There are times and places I just want to pick up the phone and make an appt and not have to download an app, register, create a username and password, then figure out the system. Obviously for MDE we all already have that. But for a pedicure? And I switched pediatricians bc they made it super convoluted to make an appt. I like to just call the receptionist, and have an appointment in 30 seconds.
Sure in the old days when people answered phones instead of a bunch of digital prompts that don’t make match what you need like now lol! I am a xennial and an extrovert and prefer online for this kind of stuff. I went thru the trouble of adding DH to my leading res, so I could do a split for Beak and Barrel but there they let you do 5 and 8. But I’m trying to book a lunch in Epcot and neither of the two choices I was going for will let me do over 6 people which means I’d have to book three and that’s a bridge too far lol.
I go to extreme lengths to avoid talking on the phone to anyone. Actually, I go extreme lengths avoiding talking to anyone (I don’t know) in general!
So having to make a call to do something means I have to weigh the option of just not doing whatever the call is about.
I was irritated a few weeks ago when I found a way to connect on-line to a garage door replacement company to set up an appointment. And so I did. And then they still called me to actually set up the appointment!!! Grrrr.
