Epcot ADRs for dates past Nov 23rd??

[stitch34]

Any news on WHEN stuff in Epcot will show up to be booked? Not everything is showing up. Need Garden Grill on the 24th, and is our only day to do it.

I've noticed a bunch of Epcot restaurants not showing up..... I know some aren't Disney owned, right.... thought maybe the nonDisney-owned ones are the ones that ARE showing up?

Even considered Rose & Crown as a backup - but that's not showing up either.

I know stuff gets blocked out each year due to CP packages.... but geez, can't wait till something opens up! Is the only ADR I am missing and like to have it done and booked and over with!

I couldn't book today either by phone or computer. The CM immediately asked if was looking for Epcot restaurants and said they are still waiting too!

My ADR date was May 19th and the Garden Grill wasn't open for the day I needed at that time (Nov 19th). It just came open this past Thursday (I was checking every day).

So, don't lose heart. You may just have to keep checking back. Sorry!

I am playing the same waiting game for Fantasmic

 

[momof2cutegirls]

Today is my ADR day & had the same issue. Will continue to look!

Epcot Restaurants are still not open. I've checked the computer and called multiple times for the past 3 days (our ADRS were on the 26th). Fantasmic! doe not show up at all online, but a CM was able to book me a MM lunch at 1:45 yesterday. Worth a call!

Do you know if candlelight dinner packages can be booked yet too?
I am having the same issues trying to book Rose and Crown and GG for that week.

Not yet. Last year booking for CP dining packages started on July 26.

I know last year a bunch of stuff was blocked out due to CP packages - and then even after CP packages were released, STILL a lot of time periods were blocked out.

Am sure hoping that ALL of these missing Epcot restaurants aren't being blocked out till it's time for CP packages.
Our Garden Grill ADR is the ONLY one we're missing and really want it to be booked. Actually at my 180 days that was the FIRST ADR I tried to make, as figured would be the toughest, as it is each year during this time.

Last year finally caught some of the CP - just walking by, could see/hear it quite well enough - and funny, stayed at CBR, came back at night and said WHAT is that singing - and yep, could HEAR CP all the way from CBR!
Anway.... every time we walked by, huge huge line of people waiting for CP - dont' understand having the package and then still needing to be in line at X time.
But finally saw some CP and was like really? People wait in line for THIS? And really, because of this each year have a heck of a time getting the Epcot ADRs I need? UGH!

I was told that inventory is being held in order to accommodate the CP dinner package.

 

[stitch34]

Ugh... just don't see why they are holding ALL inventory. We need our Garden Grill - looking for like 7:30, even 8:00 - and that wouldn't even be included for CP packages those times, they are too late.
any of my backup plans... of course those aren't available either.

Yes I tried to book Coral Reef and was told its being held for CP packages....so I have Teppan Edo

 

[Sinderelly]

Just booked ADRS for our arrival Nov 25th. No availability for GG, R&C, Le Cellier or Coral Reef the entire time we are there. I knew something was wrong because I checked Ohana and they were showing availability each evening for dinner. I called dining and the CM acted clueless. I asked her if these restaurants were being held. She said no, they just haven't been released yet. She said they will be released sometime this week and to check everyday. ( like we have nothing better to do)

Truer words were never spoken. LOL

Last trip (2010) I was still tweaking the plans up to a couple days before I got on the plane, and I know I cancelled at least one ADR while I was there because we were able to do a walk up (Plaza at MK, not a tough ADR to get). I'm stalking lunch ressies at LeCellier and I'm holding hope for BoG too.....

I don't understand why have a 180 window to book at if your not going to open the seats up to be booked....

I have gone this same time of year before and don't remember it being locked out before...

Not really feeling disney magic right now as I got up at 5am to book dinning and over half of my trip can't be booked yet cause the seats aren't released....

I made ADR's for every night but will cancel just about any one of them for Be Our Guest if there is the opportunity.

I know. This happened the last time we were there during the Christmas Holiday. I booked all of our meals and made changes as soon as the CP packages were released. I think it has been three years since I was there for Christmas time. I think I had made ADR's for restaurants that were not part of the package.

Glad I found this thread. I tried to make my ADRs this morning and the one restaurant my Mom and I were most looking forward to (Le Cellier) had no availability at any time while we were there. I was so disappointed but thought that something must have been up.

I guess I'm just going to have to keep checking every day!

 

[Marc A.]

still 4-5 restaurants with no availability, crazy

 

[twinmom108]

We're waiting for some of the Epcot restaurants to open up too during the first week of December. We were able to get what we wanted the last week of November with the exception of Le Cellier.
