Anyone need dining reservations 9/19-9/25?

[Ridewithme38]

Sorry, I still don't get it. I'm not going to tie up a bunch of reservations, whether they are for timeshare units or dining (that can be hard to come by) for some "friends" I don't even know. What makes "us" better than those random strangers? I'm all for doing favors for people, but this [in my mind] is ridiculous. Things are being booked and held with no idea if anyone here wants them.

I don't know if that is the case here...I'm just saying i have no problem with things being booked just in case someone in the TUG community wants to use it....If there is a possiblity that a TUG member might lose out on a reservation vs a random person off the street....Why wouldn't you help out the tug member first Luanne?

"Friends" you don't know...i'm having a little problem with that statement...How do you not know these people? they post everyday..they post pictures of their trips, there families, they tell stories of their lives they pour out there personailities in every post....A person is much more then just their physical appearance Luanne, and if you've read their words...you know alot more about them then any look could ever give

What makes us better then anyone else....NOTHING...But we are a comunity of like minded adults...A community...Why come together and share your thoughts and ideas if not for the community aspect of it....

I don't make multiple reservations for something. I make one, that I'm pretty sure I'll use, then if something happens that I don't, I cancel it. I'm not tying up many more time slots than I could possibly use. If that's okay to you, so be it. We will just have to disagree.

I don't "know" these people. I'm sure they are all lovely. But again, read my answer above. If I can do a favor for one of them without disadvantaging other people, sure I'll do it.

Any brothers or sisters Luanne? If you mentioned to your sister that you had made reservations at Bonnet Creek, during the busy season...and she said..."Oh i REALLY want to go!!"..."but i can't plan that far ahead i have(Work, Family, Church obligations) that i'm not sure i can get out of, can you just book it for me just in case?....would you? What is you were going to Hawaii and KNEW your sister would LOVE to go but weren't sure about availablity...would you book an extra room just in case?

I hope you will one day reach out and open your heart and mind luanne so you can really read what people are saying and how they express themselves...so you CAN get to know them...I've only been a member a couple of months and just from the style and flair of some of the members i could easily point them out in a crowd, i know them as well or better then some of my oldest friends

You just don't get it.

I would do a favor for someone on TUG, someone I know, and yes for my sister.

But what I would not do is go out of my way to make reservations I'd never use.

That is what I'm trying to say. I'm sorry you don't see that.

And if you read back through all of the posts you'll see I am not the only one who had a problem with what the original poster did.

Yup i think i get you...you'd do the favor...as long as it doesn't inconvenience you or you don't have to go out of you way to do it....Good thing to know about you....

You still don't get it. I'd do a favor........as long as I wasn't tying up reservations that other people might want. Oh right, those aren't my cyber friends, so they don't count.

Now can we end this.

Sorry Carl, not clear. DVC owners were putting in multiple ADR's for NYE's as they weren't sure where they would be(perhaps waitlisting a diff resort or just not sure if they would be staying around resort or one of the parks that night).

Got it.. Thanks for the clarification.

To Ridewithme38--For someone so new to Tug it would behove you not to sling arrows... For you never know where they will land. Luanne has posted here often and slinging arrows or barbs at her makes no sense. This is not the Disboards. We respect other's opinions over here. Get over it!!!

The solution to this is simple: require a CC#, and impose a no-show fee. Why hasn't Disney done this? The words "baby" and "bathwater" come to mind.

More seriously: Disney reservations aren't "real" reservations, *unless* they take a credit card and require pre-payment (like the Castle meals) or impose a no-show fee (like California Grill).

Instead, they work much like "call ahead" seating does in some mid-level chain restaurants. Disney actually has a pretty good sense for how many no shows are likely on any particular night at any particular restaurant, and overbooks to accommodate for it. Is it perfect? No, not exactly. But, it does a pretty good job of matching people to available tables, and it minimizes the impact of double booking etc. I was able to obtain reservations at some very nice places just a month prior to my late July visit---peak season, for sure. There are a few places that are impossible to get into that late, but the majority can still be had.

You really need to stop being some reasonable Brian...........

For the record...Below is HER first post towards me...and if you look through further responses by her, they get worse....For someone who has posted here often....she doesn't seem to care about the community very much

Please tell me you're kidding? Are you really saying that people who post here should get preferential treatment? I mean, we're great folks and all, but really................:ignore:

I don't care if it's allowed or not, or if you've figured out a way to beat the system, this is downright unacceptable. This sense of entitlement and excess says volumes about one's character or lack thereof.

Now there is a rude comment I would consider a barb or an arrow sling that fails to "respect" another posters opinion.


And this board is much coarser than the DIS with very little respect on display here. Personal attacks are common here.

Never mind.
