Does it make sense that I could do all 14 days of our reservation right at 180 days out? I'm thinking I have to wait for the last 4?
I strongly suggest calling. Do not waste time trying to do it online. I just found out the hard way that the online system will not let you book beyond your arrival date if you are at 180 days. After wasting a lot of time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, I called and made my ADRs. I was told by a CM that a lot of the dinner shows and packages are not in the system yet. I was not able to book a fantasmic dining package yet. I was told to call back next week. I will be calling everyday trying to get it! I really wish I had checked this forum earler. I just didn;t think it would be a problem. I booked my ADRs online last year and had no problems.
That is exactly what happened to me this morning. As I was calling about CRT, MM Fantasmic Dining Package, the Garden View Tea Room, and Spirit of Aloha....my DH however, was online trying to get all of the other ADRs but he was only able to make our arrival day dinner online, nothing else. So after finding that out, I had to make all of the ADRs during my one phone call and I still wasn't able to get Via Napoli or San Angel Inn because it wasn't showing up in their system, she said that it may be because some restaurants haven't committed to being on the DDP yet, so I have to call back at a later time. It took me about 50 minutes to secure most of my ADRs this morning. I am really hoping that this upgrade will fix all of these problems and fast
No I wasn't, according to the CM she said that they don't have a lot of the dinner shows in the system yet so just keep checking back. As for Via Napoli, San Angel Inn, and even Spirit of Aloha...I did a mock ADR for 180 days from today and there was availability for all 3 restaurants, but if I put in the dates that I actually want them for, then nothing came up. So now I will be going on line tomorrow to book Via Napoli and San Angel Inn since we are going to both of those on the same day and then go on line for Spirit of Aloha next Saturday and just keep checking back for the MM Fantasmic Dining package. I will send your way so you can get the MM Fantasmic package for your trip
My 180-day mark is today, thankfully I had played around with the online system a bit last week (I like to "practice" lol) & discovered the 180 +10 is not working online. What I did was go online this morning at around 6:30am & booked dinner for our arrival day, since that one is exactly 180 days out so I could do it online. Then at 7:00am I called & booked for the rest of our trip. I figured if I got 1 ADR done online, that's 1 less I have to spend time on the phone doing.
Aw, that stinks! Keep trying, something might open up. I am guessing people want the 8pm hour for 9pm Wishes viewing? You could always try for something later in the 7pm hour & just eat really slowly, lol.I feel robbed woke up at 5:00 am to book my first night California grill and it wouldn't let me, it errored out.. Tried at 7 and the whole 8:00 pm hour is booked for may 7th. Oh well got all my reservations but most weren't at my exact time
Are they taking reservations for Fantasmic Dining yet?
