Seems like they released a ton of people from the queue at 7:29 and availability quickly disappeared.

Keep retrying and checking dates over and over. Things keep changing about every 5 minutes.

So just wondering, do we think this was done based on when people joined the queue, ie did the people who joined right at 6:30 get in first, or was this random??? I joined the VQ at 6:31 and got in at 7:12.

Also agree with everyone about signing up for something like mouse dining. Missed out on Geo-82 on our reservation day, but a few weeks later got the email that spots opened and we were able to snag a reservation.

Anyone know the layout for the BandB? Me and some friends went for a party of 4 reservation. The times didn’t work, so we changed it to a party of 2 and it worked. I wonder if, assuming they get a table that could seat four, if they’d let us in with them. Or, if it’s a 45 minute time limit, if we could split it up the reservation with 2 at a time for 20 minutes each.

Yeah without it even doing a grab on the hour & left us all sitting wondering..not sure how the queue was running.

Got on computer around 6:35 ET, phone on website 6:43 ET and phone on the app 7:05 ET. Computer got through. Got email confirmation at 7:10 ET. Phone..stayed on that queue and didn’t budge.

I was on the page at 6:30 and into the queue at 7:04 (or 7:09?).

I had the dining page open starting at about 6:15 and it switched to the VQ right at 6:30. Got in at 7:12.

You can always show up to a Disney reservation with less but it’s a toss-up if you can show up with more. Since this place will be highly in-demand for a while, I’d lean toward not expecting to add two more people.

Got a 1045 reservation morning of my MK visit! So exicted!

Just one more person advising everyone that didn’t get in to set up a dining alert. I use the one that texts you (I don’t think I can say the name) and it totally works. We were needing one certain day in September for Geo 82 and for some reason they had a big drop about two weeks after dining reservations opened and I got numerous texts. I was able to get in at the time we originally wanted but couldn’t get and now I still get random texts when reservations open up for that time/date. It really does work!

If you made a reservation for 2 and the other person doesn't want to go, will they take you as a single person?

 

[MudEJeep]

What kind of irks me is they posted that reservations would open at 7 EST, not you have to be in a queue 30 minutes before. I had looked at the ressie site probably around 5:27 local time. Looked the same as the days before. Didn't go back until just before 6, and saw the message.

I booked my reservation for this just for the Plunderer's Punch mug. Really, that's it. My work office is decorated with pirate decor. This is gonna go perfect on the shelf behind my desk.

AGREED! We plan to get two, to complement the Zombie heads we got at Trader Sam's!

When they joined. The browsers that triggered were in order of when I joined and I think I joined around 6:45ish.

Yes. When you check in you can modify by 1, either up or down (usually)

Yes, decreasing party size at check-in is no problem.

You can honestly do it in the app ahead of time on your own by modifying and just decreasing party size, but I wouldn't dare touch a confirmed Beak and Barrel right now with the queue system and Disney's wonky IT.

Well, at least I didn’t have to deal with this at 4am!
