Got the dreaded "sorry for the paws" message this morning

Today was my 180. I got all of my ADR's by 6 am cst. I got the Paws message a few times but just clicked close and then clicked find table again. I did it all on my phone using chrome. I also had to sign in 2 extra times to be able to see my + 10 days.
So glad it wasn't the nightmare I feared it would be.

Same :)
 
My 180 day was Tuesday and I went to make my first ADR for HDDR and it wouldn't take my credit card info, kept telling me the city/state/zip wasn't correct. After trying a few times it wouldn't link to my reservation or show any info and MDE. So around lunch time I finally called and booked them all by phone. I was told the site was down for enhancement. Since then I have booked a few more or modified some with no issues the last couple of days. My phone ones showed up in MDE later the same day.
 
My 180 day is coming up for my very first Disney trip and I'm really nervous that I will encounter these problems, especially I'm aiming for both BOG and CRT.

Fingers crossed
 
I did not get the PAWS message, not even once. Had no trouble getting BOG. Used Chrome on my laptop. Only thing I had issues with was HDDR, but it's on their end, called and it wasn't working for them either. It is an error message when adding the guests. I'm continuing to try. But everything else was easy and quick, had no problems getting my dates and the exact times I wanted. :dance3:
 

Does this primarily seem to happen when you book thru a TA or when you book a bounce back? Mine is BB and I had the same issue. Still can't book past 180 days. Disney tech support emailed me and told me their system is fine and it must be my browser. Except I have used four different browsers on two different computers in two different locations. Makes me think it might not be the browser.

I have a BB booked for Sept-Oct period and I had no problem with the 180+10 dates showing up as available to book in chrome or Firefox browser on my laptop. Did you call in to get your ADRs? I have tried the iPhone MDE app and although it sees my other ADRs and my reservation plans, I cannot look beyond 180 days on it.

I did call, but I am constantly on the watch for the ones I could not get because the first hour when I was supposed to be making the reservations was useless to me. Popular ADRs get snatched up in a few seconds. If I see one online, it may be gone by the time I can get through to an agent. I still can't book past 180 days, even though my resort reservation dates are clearly visible on the calendar and clickable. I just can't book.

On the morning I was supposed to make my ADRS, by the time the phone lines opened at 7, some of the ones I wanted, that were available at 6 am, were no longer available. I don't think the app lets anyone book past 180 days.

I'm so sorry, that is awful and would be so frustrating. I know what you mean about the hard ones getting snatched up way before the phone lines open, and calling in is Soooo slow of a process. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that what you want shows up for you to get. I'm sure you are following the cancell thread for your time period, so I hope you can coordinate with someone cancelling one you want.

Thanks for your support! On the bright side, not getting an ADR I want provides a challenge. When I get all the ADRs I want on the first go, I have no goal. No reason to visit Disney's site four or five times a day. No feeling of elation when I finally get that coveted ADR I have wanted for so long. :P This gives me something to do between now and that September trip.

:rotfl2:So true! Haha! I told my husband last night that it's all done now until FP+ time! We have our FD BB, airfare, ADRs, and now what haha! Now I guess I can continue to stalk the MNSSHP ticket release and figure out my touring plan and what park when so I'll be ready for FP+ time.

Maybe look out for ROL dining packages? MK dinner reservations after 6? Congrats on getting the ADRs you wanted. Where will you be staying? We will have our first stay at CBR. Looking forward to it.

We are staying at Pop Century, it's our favorite of the values. You'll love CBR, it's really nice. We hope to stay at Port Orleans one day, but we tend to stay value so we can stay longer.

We had our first stay at Pop in February. We loved it. DH was not with us in February, but he is coming with us in September. As much as we enjoyed Pop, we can't stay in September because he will not sleep with another person in a double bed.

We have stayed at both of the PO resorts and enjoyed them both. POR was a little more our style, but either is really special.

Hope you have a wonderful trip.
 
Can't get anything this morning-such a pain!
 
"Sorry for the Paws" strikes again this morning! Third trip in a row and I'll have to call to get everything. It's ridiulous at this point, phone and online should open at the same time, since they can't get their IT to fix this.

This is scaring me now, I'm going to make my ADRs for my first trip in 2 weeks time.

Preparing for the worst...
 
Tried to re-log in and attempted to make them via the app, but whatever flaw is in their software blocks your ability to make reservations.

I ended up calling at 7 AM and had to wait for 18 minutes, but the CM helped me zip through my needed ADRS-It didn't take long. However why was making ADRs was a breeze online Tuesday (a DVC reservation), but this morning's (room only reservation) all about the Paws? You get yourself all set for 6 AM and then trying to fall back asleep for another 45 minutes is impossible :scared: I really wish they would get it sorted!

Best of luck to you, may the odds be in your favor :cutie:
 
I had to call this morning. I've never had trouble before. Oh well, I did get everything I wanted but it took about an hour!
