narcosees wasn't available for your entire holiday????? that is so odd!! i'm really surprised that a signature restaurant would be completely booked this far out... are they closing it for refurbishment? i don't think it's affected by the GF construction...

I know I was really surprised, checked all times from 9/8 to 19/8 and nothing available.
I could get 8/8 but don't arrive until late on the 9/8.

Glad you got everything you wanted Sharon (with the exception of Narcoossee's) - do keep trying for that one though.

We can't make our ADRs yet as we don't arrive at Disney until 24th August.

There is definitely something wrong with Narcoossees for August this year, either not released or refurb. I was able to make all ADRs on line at 180 + 10 and had no problems with getting times wanted at any restaurants except Hoop (which has not been released) and Narcoossees. Fortunately we wanted the 11th for Narcoosees but were able to change it to 8th instead.

Thanks Joh, looks like you're doing it the opposite way around to us - US then Disney. We normally just go to RPR 1 or 2 nights in the middle of our stay but Stephen wanted to spend more time at US & it was cheaper this way. We usually go later in Aug but took advantage of the £499 Delta flights.

Glad you could manage to get in during your holiday. I agree, either not released or closed after 8th. We love Narcoossies, hope you have a great time.

Sharon......can you check your T-Rex confirmation email
I have just booked Portobello and the email said 'Not included in Dining Plan'?
I wonder if this due to them being new additions ?

 

[stephensmum]

Hi Nigel. My confirmation says "Dining Plan accepted" for T.Rex. It is linked to my booking & the DDP.

Keep trying for Narcoossees. I made my August ADRs a few days ago and had the same problem trying to get Les Chefs De France. I knew they couldn't be booked up for the whole of my holiday, especially as I was booking at 11am on my 180 +10 day.
I read on the dining forum that some of the restaurants don't release their booking availability until the 180 days instead of 180 + 10. I tried again a few days later and Les Chefs De France became available, so the same might happen for Narcoossees. Good luck

Thanks, I'll keep checking. Chefs is another of our favourites.

I've just put in a random date & time for DD, It's brought a full list of DD restaurants & Portobello is the only one that states "not available on DDP. I just scrolled down each name & it brought up a box of info.
Hope it is on for you, but thought I should mention just in case.

I just noticed that you couldn't get the time you wanted for TRex restaurant, I wanted 7pm and could only get 8pm with the online ADR however when I called the restaurant direct I could book for 7pm no problem. The telephone number I used was 407-828-8739. The only problem may be if you want to link the reservation to the dining plan, I am not too bothered about this and may pay out of pocket for this one anyway though. Hope this helps.

It will not matter about getting the reservation linked to the dining plan, though I thankfully have managed to get all out ADRs linked

Still can't get anything after 8/8 for Narcoossees, I think it must be closed for refurbishment. Can get Cali Grill for the night we wanted to go late to MK for evening EMH's but it looks a little too posh (sophisticated) for us.

Thanks Nigel. Your post prompted me to check again & it's now available. I've now managed to get everything we wanted, roll on August.
