Can't book Fantasmic Dining Package for late Oct/ Early Nov yet

[Abharmagic]

Anyone else have this experience?

I Tried on my 180+ 10 day, Monday (and have tried every day since to no avail- both online and on the phone) and was unable to book ANY restaurant for the Dining Package (I want Mama Melrose) for any time. The CM on the phone said the package isn't loaded yet.... hmmmm....

Makes me wonder, since I was able to get all my other ADRs for 180+ 10 for all other restaurants, is Fantasmic going to be down during my stay.

Does anyone have any experience with not being able to book Fantasmic at their 180 day (no times at all available-- not that it was full) and in a few days/weeks you were able to?

We have booked it twice before with no problem on the 180 day mark. Wonder what's up??? Am I just being suspicious?

I just tried for my trip as well. I was told it can be booked thru 10/31 right now but not Nov yet

I just tried too (11/3 arrival), and was told it wasn't "loaded in system yet, try back in 2 weeks".

I highly doubt that it will be down during your/our stay. I have had this happen the past 2 trips, and have ended up with getting the package with no problem- just later than my other ADRs.

Just checked a few minutes ago and still no days available past 10/31. I guess we will just have to keep checking every day until they are loaded.

Tried this morning for our November trip and still nothing. I came here looking for info and found this thread. Thanks for posting I think I will go back to bed now instead of waiting to call and ask since you all have answered my question. Maybe tomorrow

Just tried this afternoon, still no dates past 10/31.

Where are you seeing they are available? I just checked the site and I still don't see anything for November.

I also just called Disney Dining and they aren't available that way either. I'm hoping they release them soon! I have everything booked except for this one reservation.

I did it, I did it!!! I figured it out!

What I did was go in, and you have to link your resort reservation to the Dining Plan in the Dining Experiences itself (below where you put in your date/party # etc). Then after you link it, the dates are still grayed out, BUT, if you manually type in your date, it pops up.

HTH!

How tricky! It looks like you can only book through 11/9 that way. I need 11/14, so I guess I'll have to keep checking every day.
