Ack! Can't make reservations!

[sahmoffour]

Got up early, it's 6:05 ET, and it keeps telling me that I'm requesting more than 180 days in advance!!!!!!!!!! It says that only resort guests can book dates more than 180 days in advance, click here to confirm if you're a resort guest. So I click there, then it says you've already confirmed, go back to the dining page to make reservations. So I do, then it won't let me again!

Well that was disappointing!! I finally went onto IE and could get on, but by then it was quarter after. I didn't get ONE time I wanted. All my res times are at least an hour later than I had originally wanted. My plan was for early suppers so we could go back to the resort and veg and swim in the pool but that's not gonna happen.

Keep checking daily. As people cancel, you may be able to snag a reservation that suits you better. It does happen frequently!

Another thing I have noticed yesterday & this morning. There's two ways to search and each gives me different time options...

For example, when I search Crystal Palace "breakfast" for any time slot - it gives me late ones for a particular day. 9:15am and later.

But when I set it for 8am instead and tell it to search again, I get a better time slot - 8:10am.

Strange huh? I don't recall the dining reservation system doing that last year.

Oh my gosh thank you soooo much!! You saved my holiday! Well, lol nevermind, I'm sure I would've had a great time anyways, but you definitely saved my day anyways! You're right, when I put in the exact times I wanted instead of breakfast, I got every single one of them no problem! Thank you sooo much for taking the time this morning to reply to me!!

You're welcome! I'm glad it worked out for you!

Really strange though isn't it? I didn't have that kind of problem last year. Guess Disney has a kink in their system they don't know about.

Last year there wasn't an option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You had a drop down list of times (or you typed a time in) and it searched a certain amount before and after the time.
