Looks like ******** is down also.

WDW Tools is the only one I can think of that doesn't seem to say they've been notified and are stopping, but apparently their search engine is offline, and their last tweet was a reply to someone with "The search option is unavailable for now. Don't have an ETA yet."

Dis Dining Agent still seems to think they'll be back...but I'm not sure what they can do differently.

Guess they didn't get around to covering that in those months-long, personal and video-based, intensive training sessions that the fired American workers had to give to their H1-B replacements ...

They weren't very good at it before that either...

I'm curious to see if (and how quickly) ADRs will be released for consumption.

So...has anybody noticed an increased availability of ADR's now?

First, I'll admit that I used one of these sites for our upcoming trip b/c it was booked last minute and I've also used it to help friends book last minute ADRs ... I won't name the site I used but it was the one that just sends notifications and it was up to me to quickly log on and try to book it myself.

But in response to people wondering if it will have an affect, last Tuesday evening, I started getting constant notifications that ADRs from 8-10pm at Ohana had opened up ... I got about 20 notifications between Tuesday and Wednesday, so I'm wondering if that was ADRs that were released by the companies having to C&D? I just thought it was unusual that so many popped up and these were prime time ADRs b/c its during Wishes

Definitely sounds like C&D ADRs. That's just so nasty how they used the public's genuine interest to get hard-to-get ADRs and hog them and have people pay for them to release it. Just, ick.
