Finally Got My ADR's VENT

[tinkmom2]

OMG! I have never been so frustrated in my life! It used to be you could go on at midnight of your window and make your ressies. That's not the case anymore. So I get up at 6am. The system was still saying the wrong number of days. Then it would let me in and show me the ressie times but ask for me to sign in and kick me out. Then I choose the time at CRT and it was asking for me to pay even though we have the dining plan. It wasn't asking for a card to hold it. It was asking for payment. Then I get this note: Error 500 - Server Error. I have never been more frustrated in my life. I called WDW and the cast member was very nice considering I am so crabby


So Here's what we got for our October 12th Trip
October 12 QS at Kona Island for Sushi
October 13 BBB 12pm for my DD's birthday Wolfgang Pucks lunch QS MNSSHP CRT 5:20pm
Ocotber 14 Sci Fi 12:20 PM Cape May 5:50PM
October 15th Tusker House 9:05AM Flame Tree for Dinner
October 16th QS at POP and off to the Dream

Glad you got your ADRs but sorry it was so frustrating.

I live in the central time zone and got up at 4:45 on a Saturday to make mine. But in the end it was worth it (or at least it will be in 6 months)

Looks like we will be up at 545am the morning of the 180 day mark!!! Thanks for sharing your experience.

I don't recall anytime you could do online at midnight of your 180 days, unless it was for a very short time when it first started. It was 3 AM for a while, I know that for sure, then they permanently moved it to 6 AM quite a long time ago.

Yes, for some reason I couldn't make mine on April 2nd(trip is from Oct. 2-7) but the next day I could. Luckily, I was able to get everything I wanted even waiting a day. Whew! Now, the wait.....

I was experiencing the same issue you've listed here this morning - worth noting though, I was in Internet Explorer. The frustration finally got so bad I decided to try Firefox, because often times FF is more stable than IE with certain websites... Since signing into Disney's site the first time on FF for my reservations, I've had no problems and have NOT had any errors or been asked to sign in again.

If anyone else is still having these issues, try using Firefox instead of IE - seems more stable for Disney's site right now.

Oddly enough, I had the exact opposite problem. I signed in with Firefox ('cause I only use IE when forced to) and had issues with freezing pages and errors. I finally decided to try IE since I know some webpages are more compatible with IE. Not one problem.

I guess the moral of that story is...whichever browser you're using, try the other one if you have problems.

According to this calculator: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/pscalc/dispscalc.html

the 180 day window begins on April 5, 2011!!!

Everytime I have made my ADR's online the new dates open up at 6am EST, which is 3am here.

Oct 2, 2011 would have a 180 day on April 5th. I was able to do mine on April 1st as I have a room only reservation on Sept. 28th 2011.

I had the exact same problem with the error messages. I switched from Firefox to IE and it worked perfectly. Of course, I figured out the problem 2 hours later after I already gave up and called to make my reservations.
