Don't try to have more than one tab open...

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but thought I would share just in case.

I'm at my 180 day mark this morning (yay!) and thought I'd be slick and have two tabs open on my computer to make more than one reservation at a time. Yeahhhh.... Don't do that.

Any time I went past the point of choosing a set time for the restaurant, both windows would suddenly have that restaurant showing, causing me to lose any progress on the other restaurant I was trying for. You can simultaneously search for times, but do not click on a time for the second restaurant until you have received confirmation on the first... It still shaves off a few seconds to bring it up to that point, just don't get greedy like me! Disney is apparently onto that trick lol
 
I haven't used it for dining but on other sites that work similarly this trick can work but you need to take it one step further.

Use two different browsers.
 
That thought didn't even occur to me in the midst of my freaking out because I had snagged a BOG dinner ressie and then suddenly everything was saying Crystal Palace... :scared1:

So I would definitely recommend testing out the browser trick BEFORE 6am on 180 day.
 
I was at work during my 180 day mark so I made ADRs on my iPhone. It was much easier just to open each restaurant in a different tab and make reservations. I thought I may have some issues doing that but it actually worked! I just couldn't exit that tab while it loaded and took me to the next page until it was confirmed.
 

On my ADR day, I had 3 tabs open at the same time and I did use the same browser. Before 6am I had filled in info for the restaurant, date, and meal in each tab and then completed each one. That's a shame that it didn't work. Hope you got everything you wanted!
 
It depends if your browser implements separate tabs as independent sessions. There's a parameter in IE that you can set to make each tab a separate session, which would allow this to work.
