One more day!

For those that have bad memories and/or distracted by sangria fermenting posts a gentle reminder...Is it 12 am, 7am, or "This jerk really isn't paying attention" EDT that we need to be at the keyboard? OR we don't know?

I'm leaving for a work trip today and I need to make sure I have all my calendar arranged right.

I am going to guess 6am, that seems to be when things open up. But you can always check at midnight.

I'm not sure the timing has been established since they went to the "everything drops on one day" model. I do expect the system to crash within a few minutes of it opening though. From an IT perspective, this is the perfect way to overload a system and take it down. Think Taylor Swift ticket nightmare. And it is Disney IT after all.

And I'll let someone else check at 6am EDT.

I don't expect a huge run on Fort reservations for early November next year. I would think there will still be sites available for quite a while, but it doesn't hurt to lock one in.

I will be up at 6 am hopefully, trying to get halloween, so thats a factor. If I am up at midnight, Ill check then , but thats dought full. I did scour the interwebs and no one had a hard time.

On your mark ....

BTW in this thread on the DIS Resort board in post #12:

6am for Online
7am for Phones

I assume those are Eastern times. I think Dining reservations works the same way in that online is available an hour or two before phones are.

 

[jbrostek]

@Teamubr As of only a few weeks ago that is correct. 6am we where able to start grabbing reservations, 7am for the one phone call I had to make because the system still stops you are a party of 8 (so needing a 10 person reservation I made two 5 person and called to combine afterwards.)

Thanks Ed! Since we are in the AST zone we are an hour ahead. I am usually up bright and early so I’ll be ready. We need to secure our reservations for January 2024 so I hope to get that done; as well as, November 2024.

Not sure where you are , but don't forget if you have daylight savings or not. EST as I post this for me in NJ and FL is 212 pm.

 

[Sjm9911]

Been in the que since 550am. Still waiting. What a mess.

 

[bama_ed]

Yeah this is like what they do for RunDisney signups kind of. But in those cases you get an estimated wait time. Oh well, I'm retired, I don't have anything pressing until lunch time. Ed



EDIT - 5 minutes later and the wait time is working now. About 50 minutes showing, dropped quickly to 18 minutes.

 

[Teamubr]

Ed,

You have me beat. It took 20 minutes to get an estimate and it just says more than an hour.

[Sjm9911]

I am at 17 mins now. Lol.

Hello all... I rarely post but I've been following along this 2024 meet up thread. My wife and I met many of you at the Pigeon Forge meet a couple of years ago. Wasn't sure about our plans for 2024 but it all worked out. I was able to snag a full hook up site for 10/26 - 11/9/2024. Hope to see many of you there! Good Luck to the rest of you this morning.

I'm in but the site says none of the sites are available! I tried switching dates- no luck. Now what?

 

[Sjm9911]

It may have crashed, my timer went away.

 

[Sjm9911]

At the bottem ot says it paused online bookings.

 

[Teamubr]

Hang in there and try again. My screen just went back to "Recalculating" for a wait time.

[bama_ed]

Oh so close now UGH.

Maybe you are blocked due to the pause.

 

[Teamubr]

Well, it lasted longer than I thought it would before it crashed. I guess that is something.
