Chit Chat Thread - November ADRs...

[TOONTOWN]

Is anyone doing the Minnie Party at H&V with Fantasmic? How do I set up a scout for that?!? I wanted to go Nov 7th guess it's sold out - looks pretty neat - do u think worth the $$

I think scout is worth it because there are days where I can't get online for hours to keep looking for the ADR I want. Scout checks often, like every 8-10 minutes, 24/7. They have found me the ADRs like Akershus, ohana, 1900 pf, and even CRT. You do have to get online fast to book them; I've failed at grabbing the CRT 2-3x now. But yes, scout is worth it in my experience.

You can set up a Minnie's holiday dine with F on scout. Just choose that in their drop down menu under restaurants.

I also use scout and got good adrs with it but haven't had a single notice for Minnie's with fantasmic I've had the search in for a month now. I think this is as hard to get if not harder than CRT because they only have 4:30 & 5:00 open for it. Good luck!! I do have it without fantasmic at 5:45, but it is too late of an ADR to see fantasmic.

trying to get a breakfast at Akershus... okay, the trip wouldn't be ruined but I really really really want it

Oh can't help with that one :/ I am feeling the same way about Ohana breakfast and Be Our Guest dinner. My daughter wants to meet Lilo and Stitch sssooo bad she takes her stitch plush everywhere. Right now she is making Scrumps for all the girls in her class. lol Very creative Stitch loving 5 year old so Ohana is pretty high on our list since they are both hard to get a meet and greet otherwise. This is our 1st trip EVER! Crossing our fingers something opens up. Be Our Guest is more my dream. Ill be happy if she gets her breakfast with Stitch lol

My 5 yr old DS is obsessed with stitch and his plush also goes with us everywhere! Have you paid for scout to find Ohana for you? I got one from their alert and still keep getting alerts for it since trying to tweak the time a little.

I hope the stitch at Ohana is as funny as the stitch at the character breakfast at Disneyland. If so, your DD will fall in love even more. I hope you get Ohana!

i know what you mean.. i am pretty content with our fastpasses right now (only snagged one for A&E but DH is totally fine not meeting them so I'm using his other to meet Ariel lol and he can sit outside for that one as well, unless I can snag another A&E)

There's someone trying to get rid of their A&E FP on the Nov FP cancellation thread.

Scout hasn't been helpful for getting me Cape May Cafe dinner or Tusker House Breakfast.
Hoping the 45 day mark will open some up!

I always see at least a couple of cape may dinners available when I search for dinners during my week of travel. Are you searching often?

 

[Franzks]

I have been searching for Chef Mickey's since June. Nothing. I have scout searching a bunch too. I've never had such a difficult time with dining reservations before. We've been to Disney two other times with free dining plan in November (2012 ad 2013) and were able to get all Dining the day we booked. It's quite frustrating and nerve racking.

Are you following the Nov Cancellation thread? I just posted that I saw a chef mickey breakfast availability on there. Then found another one for a lunch opening. Keep looking because people are definitely dropping ADRs but they are scooped up quickly.

I've had Tusker House Breakfast pop up on Scout for me a few times in the past week when we're going. Keep searching. It will happen for you

In most people's experience, do ADR's open more after the 45 day mark? We hit 60 today and had read things open with FP+ reservations but I've seen nothing

lol I thought that is what this thread what for.. not seeing the one you are referring to. Is it just called Nov Cancellation?

The official cancellation thread is http://disboards.com/threads/new-gu...d-read-1st-post.3409711/page-58#post-54449085

That thread is supposed to be just posts of cancellations or if someone sees an ADR for a specific time and wants to post that for the group.

There's not supposed to be any chit chat about anything else on that thread...so this one was created for that purpose!

Keep checking the cancellation thread - link above. I definitely think it got busier after my 60 day mark. Most of us on here are hoping the 45 day mark will also see some ADRs open up! As you pointed out, it's been a tough time for ADRs so we can hope!!

 

[loveshak22]

Anyone else getting the message to call WDW Dine when you search for a reservation?

 

[ZYX987]

Fastpass wasn't working, so I tried checking dining after seeing your message. I got the message to call too. System must have crashed and they only have access to the local area network but can't get it on the web.

Thanks for checking!

Am I the only one who hopes that when the system is down it's because they are loading lots more new ADRs??!! Haha - I know they aren't but that's always my hope!

It seems to be working again.

just wondering if anyone is going the 9-15th? I'm following the cancellation thread and I think I'm the only person that has posted any cancellations between those dates. I'm having no luck I'm almost all set with adrs but still looking to change one or two.
