I buckled
I agree with @Dustifer that I really hate these sites, as I think it encourages hoarding and shouldn't be needed to plan a friggin' vacation. I am also usually the one saying, "just keep looking, you'll find something." But lately I've searched 10 times a day for 4 different restaurants (and not even super popular ones) over like 10 days and zero comes up. So I broke down and paid $3.99 and set up the 4 searches. I got sucked in and, honestly, part of my feels guilty and wants to go cancel my searches, but for $3.99 it has saved me a lot of time and gotten me at least on of my reservations.
I agree that I don't think they should be needed to plan a vacation but thanks to hoarders and other circumstances it seems like the only way. I want to get the most out of my dining plan and if that means spending money and getting a site to search for me, so be it! I'd rather spend my time away from Disney's reservation page
I really just don't get all the hate but everyone is different 
We already agreed to skip Fantasmic and see the Osborne lights, but I don't know if I want to take the risk missing the lights because of this dinner. I feel like there will be so fewer attractions open by the time we go that we could make out fine and be done all the rides and shows we want by 6:00 or so. I don't know what time the lights are turned on, but the restaurant is right there by the Streets of America so we could stay outside right up until our reservation time I'm thinking. Does anyone think this is a bad or potentially bad reservation to keep? I'm keeping my CMC dinner for backup in case I decide this is too risky. The whole point of eating at MM was to stay in the park and maximize our time there. AGHHH!! Planning this vacation is getting to be a headache! 
Oops! Thanks for pointing that out - guess there's no sense in waiting!
