Disney dining buddy thought?

[Antonio]

is it worth the $8? I reall wanna score a Ohana dinner ressie on October 5 for 8 and I've had zero luck.

 

[snitchseeker]

Eh I found Ohana on my own. I'll try scout - first two are free!

 

[Antonio]

Just signed up for scout and tried for the ressie I need. Hopefully it works out. It's for a month from now so even though I still have time I'm losing most hope.

I find that if I check at night at 12am or early morning like 6-7am - I find what I need lmao

I've never needed to pay someone to get an ADR. But I am willing to put in the time to look for myself.

 

[magicaldisney]

I've not used it but I've read of others who really think it's worth it. I would think if you don't have the time to watch for a reservation yourself it would be worth it.

 

[Antonio]

I'm sure Ohana will be impossible to find a month out for a table of 8 but I gave scout a try instead. First 2 are free. Now let's see if it works

 

[DisneyWishes14]

Yes, it's worth it. I've had great success with Disney Dining Buddy including BOG dinner and all of the Star Wars weekend meals - breakfast with Vadar, Jedi Mickey dinner and Rebel Hangar.

Sorry to intrude..but what is this scout you ref we too?

 

[NYCANC]

I used Buddy for a BOG and got it within 24 hours.

I tried Scout for free and they sent me an email that said- your ADR was available 12 hours ago- if you paid us, then you would have received notification right away!

So I paid Buddy, not Scout and for $8 it was worth it to me.

Always been able to find what I wanted; I get online at 2 am, book around 60 days, 45 days, week before, day before ..... but this time in 2 months of hunting could not get BOG dinner, for my DS. I got tired of looking and with it being during Free Dining and I was a month out I needed help. - why not see how this worked out.

I used ************** and had success in just a couple days for a BOG dinner on the night I wanted. Best money I ever spent. Made it so easy, I got an email and text at the same time with a link direct to the reservation. In less than a minute I was booked.

I received two alerts from DDB yesterday for BOG. I logged on immediately and they were already gone. So far, I am not impressed.

I've used buddy with success (BOG Dinner which btw, never again food was nasty and I felt like I was eating in a wonderfully themed cafeteria). When I need to get a hard ADR and I am past my 180+10 window I just give them the 8 bucks and call it a day. My only wish is I could pay more and have them book it for me. Often down in the OR my phone is spotty at best or I can't be checking it often.

Time is definitely money and I don't have the time that some people have to be obsessing on MDE so I pay someone that does. Again I just wish I could pay them to book it too as it's easy to miss unless your right by your phone.

 

[JohnDaleswife]

From what I have heard there are those that you can buy the actual reservations from.

 

[Dis703]

I've always been able to get exactly what we were looking for without paying anyone for it. I don't mind checking here and there either. It's part of the planning fun.

Question? Are these scalper sites or just folks who monitor the WDW dining reservation site 24/7? I'm uncomfortable with the thought of people paying to get ADR's..........isn't that kinda wrong and/or unfair?

I've been using both buddy and scout for a while now and have received tons of alerts from both. I say go with Scout since its only $4 for 6 months with up to 4 searches at a time.

Both are just sites that look at availability and then send you a text or email when its available.

Go to Disney Dining scout first few requests are free works just like dining buddy... I used it a few times worked great everytime

 

[lawboysam]

I used Scout and I loved it. Took until about a week until my vacation, but finally got the ADR I wanted. If you're going in October, my best advice is just to be patient. More will open up the closer you get.
