I know there has been some discussion on here about checking back on exactly 90 days out if you have trouble getting a reservation for later in your trip when using the 90+10.
Yesterday was our 90 day mark, and I tried to make reservations for CRT for 9/26 (our second day there) and was told it was completely booked for breakfast and lunch.
So today I got up and logged into the online system at exactly 6:00 am EDT to try for CRT again on 9/26. I plugged in our party of 7 for 10:00 am, and was given the choice of either 9:45 or 10:15. That works out so much better for our plans.
So, if you call (or go online) on your 90 day mark and you cannot get something later in the week, be sure to check backon the 90 day mark for that specific day. You may have more luck then.
Of course, since I had to make the other ones on the phone yesterday I can't cancel our CRT that we have booked for 10/1 online. I also need to see if I can snag a Crystal Palace some time during the day on 10/1 now (that was the original plan, but we moved Crystal Palace to 9/26 when we could only get CRT on 10/1). That means I have to stay up another hour so I can call in and cancel that one when the phone lines open up.
Anywho, the moral of the story is that you it appears that they are most definitely holding back ADR's until the 90th day. CRT went from "totally booked" 24 hours ago to having 2 options open within 15 minutes of my requested time today.
