What worked for me was to try to make a dining reservation, log in that way, then instead of completing the reservation, click on My Plans and go in that way.
Also, probably old news, but I'm getting no availability for Christmas-New Years. Did those dates open and they're full, or not open yet??
I got in using the tip from above to book a dining reservation. Then I went to tickets and passes and was able to book for Nov when I have a resort reservation. I am also going in Aug, but no resort booked, so I have to wait until Friday for those plans.
I did the fake dining ressie trick and got right in! Once in, it was super quick and easy! My faith in Disney IT is partially restored... but only partially.
Good luck everyone who is still making reservations. I have to say once I got into the park reservation system, for all the difficulty just getting in, the system was lightning fast. I made all 10 days in probably under 2 minutes once I got in there.
I'm traveling July 17. People are saying they've already booked for February.....I'm pretty sure when/if it finally loads there's going to be nothing left for my dates.

Start over in a new incognito browser, go to Disney's website, click dining reservation, search a time in July for 2 people, when it shows availability click make a reservation, then log in, then click cancel reservation, then go up to the MDE drop down menu in upper right corner and click Disney parks pass system. Then click Make reservation.
