ADR's online and everything was wide open!

[AutieMom]

I made my ADR's online this morning 6am EST for the week of 10/7 and had no trouble at all. I was done within 20 minutes and got everything we wanted at prime eating times for breakfast and dinner. I got a couple of biggies including O'Hana, Le Cellier, and Crystal Place for breakfast and the slots were wide open around my requested times. It was very easy this morning.

Hope it goes well for everyone else!

I forgot…Chef Mickey's had plenty of availability too. I was able to reserve and then change my mind ( twice) and make another ressie on another day and still got the times I wanted.

Good to know. Hope it continues next week! I book on Monday and I have to call in because we're DVC and DVCers haven't been able to book 180+10 online since they added the credit card guarantee.

I wonder if the end of free dining has had a positive effect? We are staying offsite, so I'm having to make my reservations each day. I started "practicing" about one month ago checking Ohana dinner ADR availability almost daily and was quite discouraged. I wasn't finding any open slots before 8 pm even quite early in the morning. But I noticed an improvement over the past several days. This morning was the magic day to book Ohana, and I got a 6:40 pm time - very close to what I requested. So happy - 180 days until Ohana!

I get to make my ADRs on the 23rd so I have been practicing a little each day to get a feel for how it's trending. Like the OP stated, for our time of year it's looking pretty good. For example, I checked Ohana around 3 this afternoon and was able to book a party of 9 for 6:30pm.

The dining system does not recognize DVC reservations (even though the main disney screen does) when you go to book your +10 day reservations. You are only able to book 180 days online (like everyone else with no room reservations). You have to either call Disney Dining at 7am or Member Services at 9am to book the +10 days. Its been screwed up since they added the credit card guarantee in October. And Disney seems like they are in no hurry to fix it (6 months should be more than enough time to fix it!).

The overall guarantee doesn't bother me personally except for the fact that DVC members have had to deal with not being able to do 180+10 online and its been 6 months!

I looked again today just for the sake of looking since we got everything we wanted already and there still seems to be plenty of availability around. We didn't try for CRT since I have boys who think princesses are not cool but I got Crystal Palace at 8:10 and the slots before and after were still open.

Good luck to all waiting to make ADR's. It looks like a nice week to go maybe.

Yep, me too! DVC here also. I start making my October ADRs this Monday and know I'll have the same problems....of course, I'll still try, but pretty much know the outcome.

I make ours on Monday too! GL to you! I'm mostly worried about CRT dinner and 'Ohana dinner and CRT dinner because they are the first two days of our trip. I'll post them back if I have to though.
