arghhhh ! Disney dining plan

[princess333]

I am such a calm person but I am near to breaking point!
We have 12 days in Disney in September after our Disney cruise and for the last few days I have been waking in the middle of the night here in the Uk to try and book our chosen restaurant but each time all I get is 'there's a problem' notice. After many hours of non stop trying I have managed to book something (not always what I was looking for).
I feel that this should be a fun part of planning our trip but I am getting totally stressed out and for the first time I'm my life I feel like I want to throw my computer through the window!! Why is it so difficult to book a restaurant? I have tried the app and the Internet on my iPhone, iPad and my computer and now I fear that I will not be able to take my 19 month old grand daughter to a character meal on the 22 September as I'm sure that when I eventually get in that it will all be booked up!!! I think I might just scream!!!

It may be that the time you are trying to do this that the system may be down for maintenance. I was able to make reservations this morning with no trouble at that was at 6:30 a.m. EST.

It's 7:52 am now in Orlando-- why not give it a shot now?

It does sound like you might be trying at the wrong time of day for Florida time. Stop getting up in the middle of the night. Try just before you go to bed, mid-morning to noon your time, and even in the early evening.

Isn't the UK just 4 hours ahead of FL?

10am your time would be 6am EST.

It is 5 hours ahead - a good time I always think is around noon here - it is 7am in Orlando (or try to phone them at this time - always worked for me and I am in the UK too)

Middle of the day for you may be optimal. You don't want to try when it's late here. You could call too.

Call! The 0800 number in your paperwork allows you to connect to dining.
