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

[jcbftw]

Right? I need the 18th for my birthday

Is the speculation that Sam's will only allow bookings a month out (in this case, since reservations start on 8/15, they only allow booking through 9/15?) I need at least one for a trip in late September...

It took me 3 browsers being open since 3am PST but finally got through on one of them to book the Dessert Party ! September 11th dessert party confirmed !

FYI here is an app tip : When it tells you to close or go to disneyland.com , just hit the "back" button on your phone and you can force it through , that's how I got my first Trader Sam's reservation.
Then it didn't kick me out for any others

No Plaza for me either for next week

As others have surmised, I just saw this on the Trader Sam's page on the DL website, so nothing past Sept. 15...

From August 15 to September 15, 2021, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar will be testing limited advance reservations.

Has anyone successfully booked Plaza Inn Minnie and Friends Breakfast.. I have a feeling they haven’t opened the reservationd yet

 

[cakebaker]

Well, I thought they would open all dates of OB Dessert party, but they only open up half way through October, so I guess I have to keep checking to see when my date opens up.

Same here...all that waiting for nothing, Ugh!

I have not. Looking at random dates, I don't see any availability even changing the number in the party. Not sure if they were all taken or not released yet.

Thanks for the info - wish I had read carefully before wasting the last...too many hours on trying to secure a reservation

I wonder if they are going to inch it forward day by day or if they are going to wait until closer to the end of this "test" to determine if they are going to continue with advanced reservations...

Do remember to click through EACH time slot, rather than just "lunch" "dinner" or whatever. It was telling me nothing available for Trader Sam's for lunch 9/15, but on clicking through the times showed an 11:45 and a 1:05 availability.

I was just able to get the Sonoma Terrace Dessert Party on 9/14 for OBB, and Trader Sam's lunch on /15.

It is bonkers that their dining reservation system is this convoluted. And yet it all books up, so what's their incentive to fix it? Sigh.

Trader Sams appears to be gone for all the nights it's offering so far.

My app doesn't have a "back" button, so there's no way to get off the page where it tries to send me to the website. I finally got through on a browser, but the one time I saw was "no longer available" when I clicked on it. Oh well.

I have Plaza Inn booked on August 26th 8am and September 10th 8am too. Bookied via app @ 7:38am

Not the app , your physical phone. I have a Samsung GalaxyS10+ and the home button is in the center , then to the right on the physical phone is the "back" button.

So, beginner question here, if there are times associated with a restaurant, does that mean reservations are actually open? For example, Oga's just started listing times for October 7. I feel like I got in pretty quickly (this was a couple of days ago), but there was nothing available (for both "Lunch" and actual times of day). Does that mean all reservations are already taken or do they release 'reservations' separately from when they add times to the day? No idea if any of this makes sense... lol

 

[LillianBelle]

Sat in the queue for three hours and finally got Trader Sam's for 14 September. Noticed that if you keep refreshing times, scarce reservations slots at early times do pop up when they previously showed no availability. I need an Uh-Oa after that experience for sure!

An iPhone doesn't have one of those.

Nope, they post hours first and then release reservations. If everything is gone, they may not have released them yet.

I wanted to do the Oogie Boogie dinner option and read that you just need to get the reservation and then notify them that you want to upgrade to the 3 course meal. Glad I already have that reservation for my party night.

 

[mrflibble]

Does anyone have any idea of Blue Bayou or Café Orleans have released reservations for 60 days out? I've been trying to make reservations for October 9 for the past two days, without any luck (even waking up every hour for the past two nights checking).

Ah I wasn't aware..another point for Samsumg I guess ! I admit i'm anti apple products but surprised they don't have anything similar , sorry!
