Thank you! I was wondering how long it was going to be on "Resort Photos" before a MOD realized where it was!

Anyone spoke to a cast memeber and asked when it will be up this morning?

You're right but if you can get on the dining FAQs page from the home page and scroll down you will see a link to online reservations. At the moment I can't get on the disneyworld site at all - we must have crashed the system even before online reservations open up!!!

Yep, I see that link, but it just redirects back to the FAQ page. At least it's a sign that something should be happening, eventually.

I couldn't get the link to work either. Please post on here if you get it to work or if there is a different link. I'm sure we are all anxiously awaiting.

 

[RangerPooh]

Still not working. Hopefully we'll see something soon.

I think people are placing WAY to much faith on today being the day they release it to the world.

The link in the FAQ still points to the FAQ - it is not broken, it just doesn't point to an online dining system. I don't see links anywhere else either. The pages for the dining locations only say to call.

ITA, especially since all previous reports listed 5/26 as the release date. Disney is much more likely to release late, not early.

IMHO, I really think everyone should take a deep breath and relax

They have removed the online adr booking link on that web addy, so now wondering if there were issues that caused the whole system to crash (since people are being told that the system is down) or if they just aren't releasing the online system to the public now. Frustrating......

Yes, I just rang the dining reservations line and was asked to ring back later. Disappointing but not totally unexpected!!

It is still showing 90 days out right, not 120?

Grin, shows someone from within Disney definitely reads these boards anyway. Hi there!

Or they wondered why the number of hits to the Dining FAQ rose 1000-fold and looked in to it...

I'm only guessing here but, the reason the Disney site didn't work before was due to the volume of traffic which probably crashed it.

I also think Disney won't give an official online reservations launch time/date. It would make sense for them to launch it when no one is expecting it and let the traffic build up slowly and not one huge flood of people. Just a theory. Anyone else thinks this makes sense?

That makes perfect sense! I would also dare to guess that today could very well have been the day for this "soft" launch. But once word got out, the system ws overloaded (and perhaps not prepared) and crashed. No one will likely ever really know though...

What crash? Did anyone actually see an online dining system? Constant reloading of the FAQ page was not going to affect the dining system. The link did not point to the dining system - it pointed to the FAQ itself.

Of course they won't give an "official" launch date. But with tons of sites like this discussing "when" it will happen, it will spread like wildfire when they do launch it!

Does anyone know where the famous disappearing sticky for online ADRs, with updates, has moved? It's been spotted on the resort photos forum a couple of times but now it seems to have gone missing again. Any ideas? Clues?
