Anyone else having issues with ADR?

[sgerto]

I'm heading down for the Halloween Half in Sept and was looking to book ADRs. What's odd is today I went on right when they released them and there were already 10 restaurants that were unavailable. Blue Bayou, Trader Sams, Carthay Circle, Carnation Cafe to name a few. I went and checked other days and 10 are the only ones where you cannot make an ADR. Is this a known issue?

Thank you for your replies.

Disneyland can sometimes be late to release reservations....

Are you trying to book for 1 or 2 people? Try booking for 3 or 4. After your reservation is complete, you can modify it down to 1 or 2.

If I look for a party of 4 on Sept 4, the only places unavailable are Goofy's Kitchen, Napa Rose (closed for remodel), Storytellers, and Trader Sams.

That worked! Thank you all for your help!

So bizarre if you do one person it won't let you choose a lot of restaurants but if you do 4 it opens many more. Is Sams near impossible to reserve? That's the one I'm really trying for of them all.

And how do you reserve the World of Color dining package? I see the desert one is available but the dining one is always only for Magic Key holders.

Yep, have also been trying to book Goofy's Kitchen on 8/25 for a travel home day and still not available. I'm not too worried but would be nice to just get it booked and not need to check everyday.

You just book a regular dining spot and tell them you want to do WoC. There is no WoC specific dining reservation.

Yes, trader Sam’s is very hard to get. And I’ve said this on other threads too, but this is one that has released at other times other than the 6 AM normal drop 60 days out of most restaurants.
I have literally gotten a reservation at 9 PM the night before, so 61 days out

And I’ve had some slots release at midnight, 3 AM and 4 AM. It’s a real frustrating one.

The way Disney views it is a table with 4 is more profitable for them than 1 and they want to maximize profit per table, per hour. It’s tacky but it’s part of there nickel and dime way of doing business now.
