So, you spend 6 months diligently planning out the perfect vacation that culminates in one day of well thought out and orderly online booking... get up at 5am, have all my PCs booted up, my wife's and my accounts all logged in, and ready to book right when the window opens...
And then nothing. Site would not work at all. Try various things the entire time, nothing. Other computers. Other browsers. It did open my +10 window, but everything I'd try to book... all these awesome times showing available... would click them, and then they'd disappear, do nothing, say I cannot book now, or take me back to the login screen or to the restaurant page. Then the +10 wouldn't show again till I re-logged-in, and then repeat the cycle.
An hour of this. On the app. On the computer. Nothing.
And what's worse, as I'm trying them, next time I go in, I see the time I just tried to book show as not available any more! So to me it looks like other ppl are snatching up my ressies.
Ah well. In the end, called them an hour later and was able to do all my bookings on the phone. Got everything I wanted, including my 10-person CRT on a holiday weekend, BOG lunch, and Ohana dinner. So despite missing out on the bonus hour, maybe everyone else was blocked out too. And the times that I seemed to see getting taken up every time I tried online were available when I was on the phone, so the site was just glitching.
Despite the technology being entirely inoperative, the old-fashioned phone-and-operator worked out just fine. I do see some anomalies, like Biergarten totally booked solid. But it's booked so crazy solid every day, that I think they just have not opened these tables up yet. I think I ran into this last time, a few restaurants not avail right at 180+10.
Anyone else have a fun time trying to book this morning?
