I was able to successfully make all of my ADR's this morning!
Called at 7:00, got through about 4 minutes later.
I got:
California Grill on 2/11 for dinner
Chef Mickey's on 2/14 for breakfast
Akershus on 2/16 for dinner (we were going to go with CRT for our princess fix, but it was completely sold out)
I might add a dinner at Teppan Edo, or another world showcase TS, on 2/12 if it's available, since I got the ok from the trip's "financial manager," a.k.a. my mother

The website still isn't working......I don't have time to be obsessed with this today!!!! arghhhhhh.

Happy yet sad ... Got most booked except CRT, why and how could that have been booked out for the 2 weeks we are there aftre only an hour of the lines being open?????? Gutted and now cannot get through at all

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I just got through for the 2nd time today on the travel agent line. This time the system did not crash and I was able to make the rest of my ADR's pretty close to all the times I wanted.

The online booking is still down. I never did get through on the "regular" dining phone line.

 

[SRICE100]

I finally got through to a very helpful CM.

Got everything I wanted at most of the times I wanted. Whew!! A lot of the TS I wanted had very few openings already.

DH is nit-picking the times a bit. I told him I can always change them as it gets closer, at least we have something.

Another option is he take over the planning for our annual trip.

I got all my ADR's today after help from my Travel Agent !! I got up at 5:30 this morning, started calling as soon as they opened the lines....I tried for over two hours!! Finally, I gave up, waited for my TA to get in, and boy am I glad I asked for her help...I would have lost it today !

 

[jordanyosh]

Got everything for both portions of the trip.

 

[nemofans]

I got everything, even Le Cellier which I wasn't expecting! Having this part done makes the trip feel so much closer! Now I will start making a list of things I need to purchase for our trip. We usually send down a box filled w/breakfast items, snacks, diapers, wipes, & any other supplies we may need.

YES success. Darren was a doll. He was so nice. He asked how many times did I call. Even asked if I wanted CRT. NOT. My son isn't into princesses. We had a good laugh. Even said they received an e-mail stating reservation site was up and running for them. Was able to get everything I wanted.

2/14- Whispering Canyon for dinner 5pm
2/15- Cape May for breakfast 9am
2/16- Ohana for breakfast 9:30am
2/17- Boma for dinner 5:55pm
2/18- Sci Fi Dine In for dinner 4:15pm
2/19- Boma for breakfast 9:05am

I hope everyone else gets through. He did say that they got the e-mail that the system was up and running.

EXACTLY!!! I've been looking today, and there is all kinds of availability. I drove myself insane yesterday doing this and calling for HOURS. I should have just waited.

I just booked (on-line!!) our ADR's and really had no problems at all getting just what we wanted. I thought for sure that it'd be a nightmare. However, my mantra for this trip is to ENJOY what does happen and not worry about what we don't get to do. SO, I decided to wait 24 hours for the dust to settle...and look! No dust.

We got Le Cellier at 7:30pm, Boma at 6:20pm, Chef Mickey's for breakfast at a very reasonable 9:25am (a no-park day) and Flying Fish at 7:05pm. (How is Flying Fish, by the way? -- It's our token "try something new" restaurant.)

We're also on the QSDP, so hopefully these reservations will see us through. I'm already stuffed just thinking about it.

Flying Fish is awesome! In my Sig - I have a link to my F&W Review from this Oct & I have one from Flying Fish in there.

I agree. I've eaten at Flying Fish 4x over the last 12 years at it is consistently great.

We booked Flying Fish too....is this 1 TS credit or 2?

I managed to book 4 of my ADRs on the 27th around 11:45 AM. CRT was not loaded in the system yet, so showing unavailable. Went online yesterday around 7 AM and there was CRT just waiting for me. Got the exact day and time I wanted - couldn't believe how easy it was!

Sat 2/13 CRT 8:05 AM !! (before park opens!)
Mon 2/15 1900 Park Fare Dinner 7:25 PM
Tues 2/16 Sci Fi lunch 1:20 PM
Wed 2/17 Garden Grill Dinner 5:50 PM
Thurs 2/18 Boma Dinner 7:10 PM

All dates are exactly what I wanted and times vary within 10-25 minutes. Not bad at all!

Now we can relax a bit and not stress about ADRs!

Congrats on missing out on all the stress of earlier on Tuesday. I was able to get through pretty quickly after 3pm EST on Tuesday.

We have an early breakfast at LTT planned & I told DSis that we need to get there early - I will build photo time into the itinerary for just this reason!

Thanks, Yoda. I've also heard that FF is a very LOUD restaurant. Did you think it was overbearing. This is the night that the G-parents have agreed to mind the kids so DW and I can eat dinner alone. It doesn't have to be romantic, but we want good food since this won't be on the DP. We thought about Yachtsman, since we ate there on our first anniversary (and this will be for 19th), but thought the Boardwalk would be more fun before/after dinner since we'll leave the family behind at Studios.
