Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

We are 60 days out today and I woke up early hoping to get a couple of reservations. Our travel dates haven't even opened up yet on the calendar. This is our first trip to DL(many WDW trips under our belt) and I am so disappointed! I guess all I can do is check in all day. My travel agent is getting the same thing on her end.

This has been par for the course the past month for me. They haven't posted any DCA restaurants after Sept 8th which we think has to do with Oogie Boogie Bash starting on Sept 9th. And when Oct 1 came around for when you should be able to book, no one has been able to book anything I believe including DL, DCA or DtD. It is a waiting game at this point for them to randomly post but when I got Napa Rose about a week ago, it was posted at 3 AM EDT. Seems IF brand new reservations on the 60 days out are going to go live, it will be 6 AM EDT and if they add hours to a something under 60 days, it will go live at 3 AM EDT the next morning. Hope you/your agent are able to eventually get the restaurants you want.
 
So happy to finally have a date and not need to constantly refresh the Minnie and Friends page! And, I've never eaten at Trader Sam's, but thinking that might be my casual birthday dinner meal. Looks better than a lot of the in park options I was considering.
 

Looks like Trader Sam's is opening for advance resys beginning Aug. 11 (for dates starting Aug. 15). Looks like I'll be up bright an early on Aug. 11 to try and snag one for our Aug. 24-27 trip!
 
Can someone please remind me what time reservations open to book? We’re in Oregon. Sorry I should know this by now…..
 
Disney Parks Blog has a great update about reopening's, including Princess Breakfast at Napa Rose (too $$ for me), reservations for lunch and dinner at Trader Sam's, reopening Carnation Cafe AND Goofy's Kitchen! Hot diggity dog!

Thanks so much for that link! That is wonderful news! I want to add Trader Sam's, Minnie at the Plaza and Goofy's kitchen to my trip now!!

But, that still doesn't answer the mystery of when I can book Lamplight Lounge and Cafe Orleans.
 
I tell ya---something is fishy with the system. Absolutely nothing (NOTHING) available on the 60 day mark, then reservations pop up over the coming days.
I've seen availability for many things the first part of our trip, and it's kind of a rolling availability that opens up as the week progresses.
Very weird.
 
Nothing is available though I tried all dates from now until my stay and it says nothing is available
Last time hours went up in the afternoon for Napa Rose, it was 3am est that the bookings were available the upcoming night. So not a guarantee but likely in 5 hours we hopefully can book
