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

MINNIE BREAKFAST IS AVAILABLE NOW FOR NOV 23! The trick is use the menu and hit character dining then click on Minnie n friends, it will say no times available, but there is! We got 8am for our big party! I see a 8 am still open , 8:20, 8:50 snd 9:30
 
When looking for Trader Sam's reservations in the app, should I be filtering by "Downtown Disney"?
 
We have been to DL twice during Thanksgiving and the weekend after Thanksgiving and probably 10 times in total. For each prior visit, I have logged in 60 days before each day that we will be there to book a meal, and have not had any difficulty making a meal reservation almost anywhere we wanted to eat. Now for Thanksgiving and the weekend, it does not have any availability. Even though I can click on the dates we will be there it says "No schedules available for that date" for every restaurant. Hopefully this means they haven't opened reservations for those days. I keep checking everyday.
 

Wow, Mouse Dining failed to pick up the November releases too. Luckily I checked and there was still several available for a party of 8 as of an hour ago, but not impressed. I had several notifications for the days we needed and never received one.

So strange, they have been so reliable. I went to their website and it tells me that there is availability for my alert that I set for Plaza Inn, but I never got the email.

So it wasn't just me! I thought maybe I set it up wrong, but I have 5 or 6 alerts for Plaza Inn set up and only received one for October 30th at 4pm today. It was great for getting Blue Bayou, Oga's, and Trader Sam's as I was notified fairly promptly. I stopped checking the site because I assumed the service would continue to be reliable but had a feeling today that I should check and sure enough November 13th was already up and looks like it's been up since last night :rolleyes:

The DISboard is almost just as good as people in this thread seem to notify just as quickly as the paid services lol

I completely agree! I don’t have any alerts, but I’ve been checking Disney’s reservation site/DISboards religiously. This site has definitely been helpful. I was able to get BB, LL, and Oga’s just by checking here!
 
60 days out for Plaza Inn breakfast and nothing. My DD has anxiety and this is throwing her over the edge. Thanks Disney. I don’t mind getting up at 4am and trying for reservations. Just need them to be consistent with what they say/post. This is going to be hard.

I am worn out with the waking at 3:00 am to check for Thanksgiving reservations. I don't think they will be released until 45 days out but I am too scared to stop checking the website.

They haven’t released anything for Nov 24th on. It’s extremely frustrating! We have gone every year (they were open) for the last decade and never had this kind of problem.
 
for my dates of the November weekend (veteran’s day weekend/first weekend of the Holiday season/Dapper Day) have not followed the 60 day release rule. Nor were they released at 3am (PT)

And when they were finally released, it wasn’t even all the restaurants/locations.
 
My dates show up but it says “There aren’t any reservations available. Please try another date, time or party size. Or choose another restaurant.” Does this mean they haven’t been released yet? Or does this mean I have missed out? I am looking for 12/2 for the Plaza Inn. Thanks!

They haven’t been released yet. Nothing past 11/23 has been.

Is this on the app or on their site?

I checked for the 2nd and the 1st of December today and didn’t see anything, but I’ve noticed you don’t find a lot, or sometimes anything at all, at the 60-day mark. It’s usually closer to the 45-day mark when times start to pop up.
 
Okay, friends I’m fixing to lose it. My dates are Nov 28-Dec 2nd and I’ve been checking religiously and no dining is showing up for any of those days. I went ahead and set up Mouse Dining and Mouse watchers just in case. And it seems like here that others are having the same issue, so I don’t think it’s a glitch on my end, but who knows for sure…. Then I saw on the Disboards FB page a lady today posted to say she got her ressies at 60 days out! Am I smoking something?! Has anyone been able to get reservations for that last week of Nov yet?
