Great experience booking dining today

[Terapin]

I booked dining today for our upcoming February trip. We got everything we wanted and 90% at the exact time we wanted. We got Chef Mickey, Akershus, 'Ohana, Be Our Guest and several other things. The website wasn't glitchy and it went surprisingly well!

That's awesome!

Always nice when things go smoothly. And smooth for Disney IT ... that's practically a miracle.

I'm SO excited to hear that! My day is tomorrow, so I hope the good luck continues! This is our first visit to WDW, so this whole ADR thing is new to me, and I'm extremely nervous!

I know, right? That's why I had to post. It's usually soooo frustrating. It seems today that all the hamsters were on all the wheels and things were grand. Now watch my reservations all get deleted and I can experience the Disney website I know and loathe... ;-)

Good luck! Go for your hardest reservations first. February dining seems to be pretty ok! Let me know how it goes

This was our experience as well for our July trip. We didn't even book our adrs until March, well under the 180 day mark.

We had no issues with adrs online either.

I'm back to report my great success this morning! Going on our first trip to WDW during President's Day Week, which we are expecting to be super busy. I've been so nervous about making my ADRs. I was up at 4:00 am Mountain Time and struggled and fought with a very glitchy site for 1/2 an hour. After getting nowhere, I went back to bed. When I tried again four hours later...WOW!!! I got everything that I wanted at the exact time that I wanted it, including Wishes Dessert Party on our first Saturday night and an 8:00 BOG breakfast later in the week.

I'm so grateful to everyone here for all the great advice!
