Dining Scout experience so far

[KeriWDE]

We are going to WDW this weekend. (Friday through Tuesday) We have a few ADRs in place, but we weren't able to get CRT or BOG - our top two choices. So I bought some searches on Disney Dining Scout.

I now have reservations for CRT in place for two different days. I have had 3 or 4 BOG notifications to come through that 1) didn't work for our travel plans/timing or 2) I didn't get there fast enough for the reservation.

For the money, Dining Scout is worth it.

YMMV

That's great! It's well worth the money spent for us, too. When I first started booking ADRs, I could only get about half of what I wanted, but in the last few months, I've secured every one of the reservations I wanted, including BOG for breakfast and lunch.

i decided to bite the bullet and try for 3 different ADRs that I wanted to change due to change in plans adding universal into the mix. I tried for 2 weeks with no luck - and booyah....today, within 6 hours I've gotten 2 of my three. Now if only someome will let go of Coral Reef at 6:15 on 10/30 LOL

I love it, and am grateful for the hours of my life I got back since I didn't have to check on my own every few minutes.

Hi all! I've been signed up for about a week. I had a few searches on Dining Buddy and only heard once before the shut down.
Question: how long where you signed up before you heard anything about CRT or BoG?
We are around the 45 mark and I'm hoping that would help.
I'd love to hear some of your details about timing and party sizes. We have 5 so that's probably going to make things a little more difficult.

I've been looking for Mama Melrose with Fantasmic for 5 people for months. Yesterday morning I woke up to 3 Dining Scout notifications. I logged on about an hour after the notifications had come in and got my exact preferred time! Today is my 45 day mark.

 

[hollannc]

Oh awesome! Glad to hear that and that you got it!
Today is my 45 day mark so maybe something will come my way soon!

Seriously thinking about using this to find a better time for BOG. Sounds like you've all had success!

Love Disney Dining Scout. I used it to snag BOG lunch and 'Ohana. I needed to change my BOG lunch and within 2 days it had notified me of the time I wanted and I was able to get on and book it!

I just bought the scout 2 days ago and it helped me get a Kona Cafe reservation which is great. I am wondering if your scout is working ok today, however? I just checked the site and it said last checked 2 hours ago,and a new search I created hasn't updated at all. I'm worried they're taking scout down, like DDB and ReservationWatch.

Please explain how this works. What is the website?

Google Disney Dining Scout. It's a site that monitors when reservations free up and notifies you. Costs 3.99 for 6 months.
