So far, the 19th is only date I have heard, but most have not reported the actually time of day.

As Arte Johnson would say: Verrrry Interrrresting!

Congrats on making it in to the top 300.

I bet the first 300 were picked entirely randomly, and not the just first 300 chronologically.

I do not recall the time on the 19th that I made the reservation, I only know that it was in the afternoon. My reservation number is 6573611173. I know that there have been some that have tried to make something of the reservation number. Has anyone come up with anything yet?

Do you mean entirely randomly or from among those that registered on 3/19?

eqwalker: You had asked about a theory on the numbering system. I had proposed that there may be a correlation between generalities in Zip Code area for the first 5 digits and priority of your order in the second 5 digits. I had assumed that the last 5 digits would have started with 00001. However, in knowing that yours was placed on the first day, perhaps the numbering sequence (in the very unlikely event that I am right) began with 10001. That would have made your reservation number 1173. More likely that is the case instead of 11,173. You are in Arkansas, right? The zip code location of 65737 (close?) is in West Branson, Missouri. Not a huge distance from Arkansas? Probably just coincidences...

Just coincidence in that case. In my case, I'm on the East Coast and the first 5 digits of my reservation put the Zip Code on the West Coast.

Gads! You'd think I would have at least checked MY reservation! California Zip Code for heaven's sakes! My last five digits (April 18th: 01208). Another theory shot!

Humm, good try though. My zip code is 72023 so, no, I don't think that is it.
