I've been unable to get ANY ADRs in any of the character or family friendly restaurants for November.
I've been going to Disney with my family for the last 4 out of 5 years. We do stay offsite as my aunt has a timeshare. This year we are going with our friends family. My friend & I have been up before 6am on the last 3 days for the 180 booking window and got nothing on our list of potential choices. I understand BOG & CRT book up but I can't even get a 10am at O'hana or anything at the HS restaurants for lunch, etc. We usually go in September & my friend is now apologizing because we moved to November because of their schedule and she thinks it is because of that. Everyone is so disappointed and frankly it is depressing.
I am ok that hotel guests get an advantage but this hoarding issue with free dining is ridiculous! Nothing for the rest of us? I have a co-worker going on the same week. She has multiple reservations for places (that will be cancelled), got all her restaurants (like 20 of them) with BOG & CRT multiple times. She was upset they missed BOG for dinner. She logged in under her name & there is availability at some of the restaurants we want but she would have to book it, so they are being saved for resort guests. I find that completely discouraging. It is like Disney doesn't want us to visit. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for my co-worker, it's there first visit and maybe only one. I want them to have a magical experience. Can Disney throw us a bone? We have little children too who are so excited.
HELP. Any suggestions other than hound the site for a cancellation? Thanks for listening Disney friends.
