CRT dinners not loaded yet?

[ptlohmysoul]

Does anyone know if CRT dinners are not loaded yet? I've been checking on and off since my 180+10 started (almost a week now) and haven't seen availability. On MDE, it says to call WDW Dining for reservations versus others that say no availability. Anyone know why?

I’m curious what’s going on with these as well. As far as I know they have not been loaded for MVMCP nights, but I can’t get a satisfactory answer about non-party nights in November. I’ve called dining, but they just say that it’s coming up “unavailable” - I don’t think they are distinguishing between booked vs not yet loaded. There is someone on another thread that is waiting for a response from CRT operations I believe so hopefully they will update if/when they hear back!

We have CRT dinner booked for a non-party night in November (11/11).

I believe mid-to-late November times have not been loaded yet. I have been trying (for the day after Thanksgiving) since 180+10. Usually at 10 days out (that’s why I put it so late in my trip) there is usually decent availability. This time there was nothing at dinner for any party size at any time. There was availability for breakfast and lunch, however. I tried calling to what was going on, and I was told there was no availability (well, yes, thanks, I can see that on my screen...). I am guessing the times are not loaded yet possibly because they are still figuring out candlelight processional. Times might be loaded when those are available. Just a guess, though, I have no idea. I’m equally frustrated.

It’s the app that says to call for availability. It’s always said that. You can’t book CRT in the app, only on the website. If you’re on your phone, you can use the mobile site in a browser window and will be able to book that way.

I just discovered this thread:

It seems I was right. Candlelight Processional packages appear to be the reason for no availability.

Candlelight Processional packages won't affect dining availability at the Magic Kingdom.

I had no idea, thanks! I wish I knew what was going on with CRT then. Maybe they will load times when they make the dining available for MVMCP?

Thank you!

I think MVMCP is probably part of the issue, though why non-party nights are affected, I don't know. They held & released a bunch of BOG dinner times for seemingly no reason earlier in the month. It may be the same story with CRT.

Yes you’re right about that, so maybe there’s limited inventory for CRT on non-party nights until they open the party night reservations? It would be awesome if suddenly a bunch of dinners open up on non-party nights like what happened with BOG!

This is what I'm hoping for!

I wasn’t even able to get breakfast or lunch, but I’m wondering if limited dinners caused people who may have wanted dinner to book a breakfast or lunch until they can find a dinner. While my original plan was dinner, i will take anything haha!

Yes, no dinner availability meant I took a breakfast reservation. I really hope we won't have to use it! It's at 9 AM. I was holding out on dinner reservations, and when one didn't become available, all that was left was an undesirable breakfast time. I'd rather use that time in the park to ride with minimal waits...I've got my fingers crossed for dinner!

I sure did - we have a lunch scheduled near the end of our stay, but would prefer a dinner at an earlier date.
