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

I haven’t seen anything past the 23 of Nov.

Nov. 24th was available at CCR at 60 days. I don't remember seeing other restaurants open up.

Interesting! I started checking first thing in the morning at 60 days and nothing came up for the 24th.

I was wondering whether it might have been a mistake because there weren't many times open and they disappeared super fast.

I have a reservation for Carthay for dinner on the 24th.

60 day mark I was on the app right at 6:00am EST. Only 2 restaurants were up, Carthay and Magic Key Terrace. Carthay was gone by 6:50am, Magic Key stuck around for a while and I think disappeared by late afternoon.

Ever since that Saturday morning (with the exception of 1 reservation for 3:30pm at Magic Key on the 24th that popped up because someone canceled it), I have not seen one reservation open for the 24th or later.

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?

No, I think that woman is smoking something. Maybe she meant WDW restaurants which actually drop in a timely fashion, unlike its west coast partner.

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 didn't get Blue Bayou until 45 days out and then Plaza Inn until 28 days out (October 30th), so it may be a while for those whose dates have yet to open. Many are in the same boat.

I tried contacting Disney at the beginning of my wait to see if I could get any info, and the reply back said that they are advanced dining reservations, meaning that you can book as soon as 60 days out but they may not be released until the day before.

Our trip is at the end of this month (changed from WDW to DL), and this weekend I was able to snag Carnation Cafe (it's a Cali ritual for us), and Lamplight, and Napa Rose, along with Storytellers and River Belle.....still holding out hope for Carthay and Blue Bayou....but won't hold my breath. Here's to hoping everyone gets the ressies they're shooting for!!

Carnation and Trader Sam have still not posted for anything past Nov 10 ... right?

Not that I can tell and I’ve been checking pretty regularly…

Just baffled. Both the Blue Bayou and Oga's Cantina have yet to drop for Oct. 12 (36 days out). I've given up on getting up at 3 a.m. daily (cuz, frankly, I'm tired). At this point, I’m thinking we’ll need to be at the Blue Bayou at opening to see if they can squeeze us in that evening … and cross our fingers that the walk up list at Oga’s is reasonable. Or that the alert system happens to catch something during waking hours ... This is goofy.

When you say they haven’t dropped yet, does that mean there are no available times or the search button isn’t enabled. I’ve have tried every time imaginable for the 4 days we are going in November and it tells me nothing is available

It means they haven't released the dining reservations yet.

It means they haven't released the dining reservations yet.

any update if reservations are open for December 3

 

[tlcdoula]

I

any update if reservations are open for December 3

I am still not seeing anything for after nov 23rd

 

[MonocularVision]

We are approaching the point where reservations may open up and I know I have seen a few services mentioned here with some more successful than others. What are folks recommendations?

 

[TikiTikiFan]

Just waiting for those Thanksgiving dates..... come on Disneyland, get it together!

 

[Iwanttomove]

I have never in my life seen a worse website. Ever.

Please tell me any tips or tricks you used. I realize it's reduced capacity for dining but this is beyond.
One screen shows times available, I click a time and then it zaps me into the unknown.
I have yet to be able to book one time for any restaurant. The only thing that consistently shows up is the Legacy Passholder thing in CA. Seems there's plenty of availability for that.

Thanks!

I know I’m very new here but trying to get ANY reservation for our trip the week of 9/22 was a JOKE! We were only successful in joining the walk up list at lamplight boardwalk. So disappointing

 

[ttig34]

I am sure they will open when I am driving or something, and will miss my chance!

 

[SherylLC]

Is it always like this or is it due to Covid shut down and (maybe) lack of staffing in restaurants and/or tech?

 

[LeeLeeLuvsDisney]

They'll pop up when I'm sleeping. Getting me out of bed before 6am just doesn't happen unless we're catching a flight. Waiting for Carnation...impatiently....

This is frustrating. I have been up at 3am PST to check for reservations for our early December trip. This is where I am: if you say they open up 60 days out then open the reservations up 60 days out. If you want it 45 days out then do that. If you want it 20 days then do that. I am fine with whatever day you want to make it. Just inform people and stick to it. This guessing game isn’t fun.
