This is the phone number I have(714-781-4400), is it right?If you get a busy signal, did you keep trying or was that it-out of luck? Thanks for ANY hints or tips.

After about 5 minutes of the ringing, I made the call on my cell phone and was put on hold for awhile. In the meantime, the original hard line phone was still in my ear ringing away. My cell phone call was finally taken off hold and transfered to a CM so I could make my ressies. By then the early show was sold out. We got the late show, though. Has anyone else had this weird experience of the phone ringing after 8am and just never being picked up? I'm figuring that line just got lost somewhere in their system and dropped out of the queue but didn't disconnect. It was very odd.

I almost wanted to "practice" today just to see but can't make a ressie until the 23rd and don't want to take a chance that the practice call would be the ONE that gets through! Thanks again!
