Wondering if anyone has used this company, what is the success rate like. It's not inexpensive to try and book with them so if they don't show results, I don't want to waste the funds.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I used them to book Story Book and Space 220. They got Story Book within a week. Space 220 took 5 weeks but they got it. You don't pay until they secure a reservation. Once piece of advice though is to be very specific about the time that you want. One of my reservations overlapped with my sleigh ride. Luckily I was able to change it later on.

Thank you, I didn't realize you only pay if it gets booked. That was good to know.

We will be going to WDW over the very busy upcoming New Year's week. Since we didn't get our act together to plan the trip until after the 60-day dining window had opened, most of our favorite restaurants were booked.

I set up alerts with a major dining alert site, and also signed up with Dining Fairy and put in the exact same requests.

So far, I have received probably 15 dining alerts. For some of them, I was able to secure the reservation. For most of them, I was too slow. But I have heard absolutely nothing from Dining Fairy the entire time.

I assume this means that the alert services are much more aggressive in constantly looking for openings. I'm not sure why Dining Fairy doesn't step up its game; they are literally leaving money on the table. But so far, I have been quite disappointed!

Thanks, good to know about another option. We have used Touringplans in the past, but not an option currently. Also used *********** with limited success.

We went in 12/2022 and I got NO dining reservations 60 days out. I got all my dining reservations 24-48 hours out thanks to a m*use dining acct. Steakhouse 71, Ohana, Topolino dinner, Scifi, I couldn't get Topolino character breakfast, but D*ning fa*ry got it for me. Really recommend if you're willing to spend and it's a deal breaker for you.
