Good Luck w/ Space 220

[bymorris]

My 60 day ADR window hit this morning at 6:00am. I went 6 days out and still no availability for Space 220 reservations. For every single day they were already booked. Nobody could have been any faster. Thats crazy right?

I guess our only chance now is to go wait in line once we get into the park?

Did you try Space 220 lounge? I’ve read that you can also order from main menu in the lounge if that’s what you’re looking to do. I was able to get the lounge at 60+6

Sign up for a dining alert service - people drop ADRs all the time, especially as you get closer to the date.

I did .... no dice

I'm curious how many people these alerts work for. I've gotten several recently (for various restaurants) and have never been able to snag one of the openings, even when responding immediately. I assume it's because the alert is going out to many people at the same time.

Where do you sign up for this?

We stayed at Contemporary in early July and met a family at the pool that had gone there the day before. They had a Club Level Atrium room and got the reservation via Concierge. They had never heard of the restaurant, they were offered it at the desk and it was recommended that they should take it. Maybe they hold tables for Club level guests at Deluxe Resorts or it was a last minute opening that popped up. Maybe it was for the lounge but they had kids,, not sure if they are allowed in lounge. We were there for 6 nights in July and was on my app constantly..... I never saw this restaurant pop up for me.

I’m not sure what day you’re looking for or how many people but just looking now- on Saturday October 15th, Space still has numerous reservations available even up to 6 people

I actually just snagged a Space 220 lounge reservation for 8/23 using the mousekepros notification. You have to be very very quick.

Same. We have used these in the past with great success, but I have had no luck grabbing anything lately even though I immediately check as soon as I get a text. The more people using them, the less useful they've become.

I use mouse dining for alerts. (Tried to post link but I guess it’s a forbidden site) As others have stated though my experience is that it used to be an excellent service, but now that so many use it you have to be really fast when the alert comes through. I would still try though. Some chance is better than no chance at all.

I signed up too and have immediately clicked on it only to get the paws message. Like I was looking at my phone when the alert came in and immediately clicked on it. This has been the case with multiple alerts for 3 different restaurants. I'm starting to think the Disney reservations system does not like the request coming from an external site instead of its own site.

They had the 10 full days I guess so you 6 day opening was already booked solid 3 days before it opened for you is how I understand it. I had same experience in June and never got a tracker notification or saw an opening for lounge or table seating.

You are correct. Not only does a service offering to notify of cancellations not limit it to one search per restaurant per time (like, it's not going to say "I'm sorry. We already have a search for someone wanting a party of 4 for Space 220 on August 28 at lunch. We cannot accept your search request."), there are multiple services offering search and notification. So odds are super slim you're the only one looking.

They also don't hold the reservation so someone just randomly looking at that moment could also grab it.

Are the services helpful? Yes. I've gotten a few things through Touring Plans' service notifications and being super quick. But there are a lot I have jumped on the second I got the text and still don't get it.

Nobody could have been any faster.

Except for the people arriving up to 4 days earlier than you and being there through that date...

We're actually leaving that morning Sat. Oct 15th. I saw that too

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

With a place that has such terrible reviews, still surprises me that it is still so hard to get...

I guess people wanna just check it out and go in there once, hating it or not, to judge for themselves. That has to end at some point. Maybe another year

It Does happen that all reservations are not released on a timely basis. It may be booked or not.. Have to watch or get a service.

We've not been able to get an ADR for either Space 220 venue (restaurant or lounge) yet. But I still stand by the strategy that once you are a day before your trip starts, you'll begin to get emails confirming your ADRs (the ones that remind you you'll be charged a fee if you're a no-show). At that point, there's a chance someone with a Space 220 (or any ADR you're hoping to get) will also get their email and decide to cancel. It hasn't worked for us for Space 220 yet, but we've been able to pick up some great last minute ADRs by hopping on the site when the emails drop. Good luck! I hope you get in!

My strategy has been to just obsessively check on MDE. I've been able to score quite a few hard ones that way. Space 220 was definitely the hardest, but persistence paid off a few days before our trip. So, don't give up...keep checking!
