Carthay Circle Lounge Alfresco dining

[DC to Disney]

I’ve been trying to make a reservation for the Carthay Circle Lounge Alfresco dining in August, and I’m puzzled why no reservations are available after July 28. Does anyone know if something is happening to the lounge after that date?

I didn’t try for it for my trip but I wonder if it’s similar to August, Oga’s Cantina or Trader Sam’s where 60 days out it’s gone in seconds/minutes

I thought about that, but the weird thing is that there’s limited availability almost every day until 7/28. There’s absolutely nothing after that. That made me wonder if it’s changing to walk-up only. I hope it’s not closing.

I tried the last two days to reserve the Carthay Al Fresco for September but kept getting the "no times available" message (even being on first thing, and having availability for any other reservation including Oga's and Trader Sam's). Has anyone else been able to make reservations there for September?

I still can’t make any reservations for August!

This is not good news. I will be trying on Friday for my birthday trip.

May be doing a marathon call to Disney on Friday.

For Disneyland there is no Dining phone line any longer so best bet is to check everyday.
It's not uncommon for them to be slow on some places especially with Halloween Season coming up may be altering offerings/staffing/hours , etc.

However I have never NOT been able to get an ADR here same day or 24 hours before. Most underrated spot in DCA.

I know this doesn't help specifically with an ADR, but I have had not issues doing a walk-up several times this summer. Shared the cheese board and a bottle of the Cotes de Provence Rose with a friend a couple of weeks ago. Sooooooo goooooddddd. Service was amazing too. Wish I could remember her name. It was a perfect afternoon.

Thanks for sharing this. We were thinking about just trying for a walk-up.

Thanks for the info. Pre-Covid we would wait in the walk up line and get in. Didn't know about the AC times.

FYI Carthay Circle Lounge dining seems to have opened up! I got a dining alert from a 3rd party.
