Just curious if its really all booked up or if there is a glitch in the system?? I knew it was popular but didn't think at 179 days out it would be totally booked?
Did you try calling or only tried to book online? Sometimes the CMs can tell you over the phone if it's really booked or if the dates didn't get loaded into the system yet.
That is the first week of the just announced free dining period. I know the last time I went during free dining, the ADRs went really quick for the more popular restaurants. Did you try for just one day or did you try on multiple days that week?
Not sure about CRT, but we had a similar problem while booking the Luau the other day. Online, the only time coming up as available was the 5:15 show. But once we called Disney, we were able to book the 8:00 show as well. There seemed to be some other issues on and off with online bookings too so I would suggest calling Disney directly and see what they show as available.
It's a problem in the system. Dinner and Lunch are wide open those days, as is breakfast on 22 August. But on every other day, nothing comes up for breakfast going back to at least the 18th or so.
Given that this is a particularly slow week it's not feasible that breakfast is fully booked every day that far out, except for one day that just happens to be wide open.
SO glad to hear that the online system might be messed up for CRT and breakfast that week. I got up just now at 6am to book 8/31 (180 days out) and there's NOTHING for breakfast that day or any other time this week. We really want to do breakfast and it doesn't really matter what day. Guess I'll have to wait for the phones to open. Any idea what time that happens?
ETA: Dang, just talked to a CM on the phone who said they didn't show breakfast at all for the week. She didn't mention if it was because it was booked or just not there but I can't believe it would be. Also, the phone line opens at 7am, just so you know!
Ok, I just called because I am trying to book that time period too, and she said breakfast is not loaded in the system for booking yet and she doesnt know when it will be because each restaurant is responsible for loading their own reservations, so keep trying is all you can do!
