Cinderella's Royal Table Dinner Times for May 2014: Not in system?

[DTDPokey]

Hey everyone!

My 180 day mark was earlier this week, and I've run into a bit of a snag. I'd planned my itinerary out in advance, and when it came time to book Cinderella's Royal Table for dinner one night no reservation times showed up past about 5:45. Since I'm hoping to get in a late dinner that night, I was worried that maybe they'd all be snagged.

Since my trip is for my honeymoon and is two weeks long, each day another day opens up for me to make reservations. So, this morning I got up early and was online as soon as the reservation system opened, and tried to find a dinner reservation for CRT 190 days from now. Sadly, the same result: no times after about 5:45 PM are available.

I did a little digging and discovered that for all the dates in May that are available to me (thanks to the 180+10 this gets me to the 9th, as of today) there are no CRT tables available later in the evening on ANY day. But, if I check for April 30th, I can see late dinner reservations.

Do they not add the later dinner reservation times until later for some reason? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Since you're checking dates in the 180 + 10 range it's very possible they haven't fully loaded CRT into the system yet.

Not very helpful for you, but wonder if you could answer a question for me? I will be checking in May 18th. Were you able to make ADRs through My Disney Experience? Did it open up ADR availability for the 10+ days ahead of the 180 day mark? Or did you do it the other way by going to each restaurant site to make your reservation? I am trying to get prepared for 6am on November 19th! I've never tried to do this, but I as well want the Royal Table! However, I have the opposite request as I want 8:05 A.M.! Thanks in advance!

I was able to make my ADRs through the website. It opened up for the 10 days beyond the 180 mark, but since we're there for a full 15 days I had to log in on subsequent days to make more reservations. Each day that passed opened up a new day of our trip that I could then make reservations for.

My latest blog post on my wedding blog (link in my signature) walks through the whole process I went through; hopefully this will be of some use to you!

Yes! You are an ADR rock star!!! Your blog was very helpful. I loved your Dale-Burglar as the architect of the new reservation fee system. Spot on.

Enjoy these last few months before the trip of a lifetime!

I am finding the same thing. No times after 5:50 PM for CRT, BOG & even Hollywood Brown Derby. I am checking from May 2-9, several times a day. Hollywood Brown Derby never books that fast. Annoying.

I've also been checking every morning, and haven't seen any reservation times for May. I'm a little surprised, since dates in May are now within the actual 180 day mark.

has anyone called. You all are getting me nervous... I plan to wake up at 330 am Friday to be ready to rock and roll at 4 am my time.

Could it be that they just haven't opened up the times for ADRs for BOG in May yet? When I check for BOG in May there is nothing available, but there are still times open in April. Makes no sense.

I have called. The rep I spoke with couldn't see any available times in May. I suspect that many restaurants simply don't have all of their May 2014 reservation times in the system yet, because I have no problem finding plenty of tables open for the time I want in April, yet none at all in May.

I ran into this problem yesterday trying to book CRT for my wife's May BDay. They showed no availability, but did show availability for breakfast the following day. I booked the breakfast and will just continue to look for dinner availability. Though I booked California Grill during Wishes in the mean time. May just stick with that and keep the CRT breakfast the following morning.

It's probably old news by now, but last week I was able to get the dinner time I wanted for the second week of May. It looks like more reservation times are now in the system. Good luck!

It seems Disney only released early times for several places. Despite rising early on my 180/10 ADR morning, I was stuck with a 4pm BoG. And then just this week a whole slew of normal dinner times opened. Not sure what was going on there, but hope everyone got the time they wanted!

I got CRT for Mother's Day at my 180+ mark in November without trouble
