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

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.

Same for me. So glad I got the reservation this Monday for our OOB date before this announcement yesterday because now it is not available for my night for any time.

I've been trying to get Blue Bayou for October 6 for a few days and have never seen any availability. I'm *hoping* they haven't released the reservations yet.

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).

The lack of transparency in their reservation system is so frustrating.

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

howwwwwww???? i have checked every single day and nothing is opened and you seem to be the only person period to get them

Okay, so this is weird, but Trader Sams is not even an option on mine. It's not like it says Temp Unavailable or has no reservations available. It's just not on the page at all.

This is literally all I can see at Dland hotel, for any party size, any day, in August or September.

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

Newbie question, but would I just make a reservation under Plaza Inn for this special character breakfast? I thought there would be a new listing on the Dining website with 'Minnie's Breakfast at Plaza Inn' which I would need to book under, however I'm not seeing that.

It's just under Plaza Inn now. It says specifically in the app Breakfast is character dining.

I got these all through the app back to back around 738am PDT. The dessert party was a pain to book , had to try all different browsers and kept crashing but finally got through.

Trader Sam's does not take reservations.

Wonder why... It would certainly let me sleep more regularly if I knew when they would actually release reservations on Blue Bayou or Cafe Orleans! Last time we were able to get Blue Bayou, the reservations released at 3am. I'm certainly getting tired of waking up each day at 3am to reach for my phone to check. :-(

They are testing them on a limited basis from August 15th to September 15th. It was announced via Disney Parks Blog and on the Trader Sam's landing page.

• Reservations

Thanks Dis friends. Got OOB dessert party thanks to watching this thread!

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).

I've been looking at Cafe Orleans for the last half of that week and I have not seen ANY reservations for lunch or dinner become available. Unless someone posts they got one-- I'm thinking they aren't loaded yet.

Okay, so this is weird, but Trader Sams is not even an option on mine. It's not like it says Temp Unavailable or has no reservations available. It's just not on the page at all.

Try refreshing the dining page a few times when you are on it. It wasn't on mine either, but it showed up after I refreshed and I was able to check times.... then when I went to check another place it was gone again...then it was back again...

 

[disneegrl4eva]

Im checking just random days starting with Aug. 12 and going all the way through end of Sept almost and there are no available times for Minnie and Friends....have they just not released them? I can't see they would all be booked like that

 

[kikismom]

I didn't get Plaza Inn for any of my dates, super bummed! I checked every day and time and no availability. How the heck did everything go so fast?? I'm not even until the beginning of October.

So when you go to the main page and see that "No times available" means they have NOT been loaded yet. That space will say what times the meal periods are like this next photo.


Once the schedule is loaded they typically release in the system to book in 24 to 48 hours.

 

[Lexxiefern]

No plaza inn for me either. I’ve checked practically every day for the next month and not one. Hoping they haven’t fully released them yet and we all get a res.

... this is false information, dear.
