Chit Chat Thread - November ADRs...

Where is Tusker House? AK?

Yep, breakfast and lunch is a character meal with Donald, Mickey, etc. in safari gear.

I'm slowly moving up my Tusker House time. I wanted 8AM, started out with 9:20 and a couple of changes later and I'm up to 8:35!

Good luck! I did the same thing and managed to get an 8am thanks to Disney Dining Scout!!

Hi fls! Sorry you weren't able to snag an elusive BOG yet! I am confident us planners will all be able to get something close to what we want as we have a few more months. I think we may see some more availability as breakfast at BOG is extended and people's plan change a lot between now and November.

Can you edit your post to remove your specific dates. As wmjeffer mentioned, we can't post wants/trades/transfers on the cancellation thread or here. We don't want the moderators to think we are circumventing rules and shut us down!

Thanks and good luck!

Oops thanks. Done .

Im starting to think I picked a piss poor week to be in WDW as most people rescheduling or canceling ADRs Im missing by a matter of days. *sigh*

I'm bummed I missed out on the BOG extravaganza the other day. I had even been on here and checked multiple times that day, but not at the right moment.

We are looking for lunch or dinner and hopeful something will open up. We've never been and were bummed that we couldn't find any options at 6 am at 180!

Don't give up. I have found TWO BOG reservations for Sept in the last week. Both lunches. Found both, for what it's worth in the middle of the night....like between midnight and 1.

I'm noticing that, too. I only have one more I'm really wanting (other than the BOG breakfast!!) but it has to be on a specific day to coincide with our BBB ressie. That will make it even harder. I've got both buddy and scout on it though!! Don't lose hope!! We have lots of time yet!!

Or maybe you are just going the same week as a bunch of ADR hoarders

If BOG breakfast is renewed for November, people might start dropping CRT reservations. Be on the look out for whenever BOG breakfast opens up and see if you can snag a residual CRT breakfast. That way you can get prime Wishes viewing as well as the CRT meal. Plus breakfast is cheaper.

OOoh, good thinking! Might work for me too. I've been trying to get CP, ohanas, chef mickey or 1900 for breakfast, been checking for 3 different days in Nov. Pretty much daily since just after the 180 mark. It's so frustrating. I'll have to stalk the BOG breakfast threads to see if that is extended. I'm lucky that I actually got everything I wanted at the 180+10 mark (and late in the day, since I forgot about it). But a few days later wanted to switch some days around and most everything was gone! This is our first time onsite with FD. We are usually offsite, pack a lunch type people.

How exactly does "coordinating" work?
Do you just PM someone about wanting their reservation and then you both set a time to cancel and then the other person just tries booking the cancellation at that time? How do you best go about that with the disney booking site always being down and whatnot? Is there a certain time that is less busy (2am?!).

Coordinating works exactly like that. You both decide, via PM, when they'll cancel the reservation and you have to be on your computer at that time too. Make sure you're logged on the wdw website, have the restaurant pulled up, date and time chosen then just keep hitting enter at the exact time you both decide to do it. I've had success a couple of times then failed one time when the website gave me an error as I hit enter with my cc #. I called Disney when that happened but they couldn't do anything about losing that reservation.

So reservation hoarding is a thing?! I was just thinking about that

 

[Maineiak]

Been hunting to no avail for a CRT for our trip. I'm cheap and want to use our TiW card before the blackout date.

I'm surprised people haven't tried selling them. Or maybe they have....

Unfortunately, yes, it is a thing!! Makes things difficult in the ADR department!! But at least we can hope the hoarders are also cancellers!!

What are my odds of picking up an Ohana for breakfast? We have never had breakfast there and we really want to as a surprise(our kiddos are huge Lilo and Stitch fans!!),but I haven't seen ANY Ohana come up at all from 180+10 and on. Do people generally cancel these at all or is breakfast something that probably doesn't change for most?

There's always a chance! I got Tusker House and Crystal Palace pre park opening breakfasts well after my 180 day window opened. If/when BOG breakfasts do extend, there could be more cancellations for other breakfasts, too. Don't give up!!

I also wonder if that's why they don't allow posts for wants/trades/transfers so people post what they want and the 'hoarders' reach out and try to sell them? Or, I guess the simple answer is that it just allows for more manipulation of the system with people grabbing ADRs and not letting them go in a fair way??

 

[loveshak22]

Been hunting to no avail for a CRT on either . We arrive at night on and I'm cheap and want to use our TiW card before the blackout date of .

Good luck with your CRT ressies!

Could you edit your post and remove specific dates so it doesn't look like a 'want' post. The cancellation thread prohibits want/trade/transfer posts and we are following that here so the moderators don't close this thread as circumventing the rules.

Thanks!!

I'm on the hunt as well - and nothing from Scout came up with it =(

Sorry I'm still on the hoarders topic but a woman in my FB group said the other day she saw someone else's log (not sure what log she means but that's not important) and this person had a dinner booked at each park for EVERY night of her 9 day trip.
