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

For those looking at character meals, I wanted to let you know at Storytellers, the characters are not coming back throughout the after close time. I know I read in the past, characters would have more fun together when only a few guests were left, so wanted to let you know that wasn't happening if you plan a late breakfast.

The food is really good though, so still absolutely worth it! We had a 10:45 reservation today, but had plenty of time to get seconds and Even thirds if we wanted. We also saw the characters as we first came in, which I guess was close to 11, we were running a little late, then one additional time around 11:20. I did ask our server later if they were done for the day and he confirmed that was all the appearances they would make.

3 am eastern? Thought it was pacific?

Also, interesting that the hours are up for LL but not for Carthay restaurant yet!
The rules I have seen are 3am est if it is less than 60 days out and 6am est if it is 60 days out. Wine country trattoria just went up for all days before oct 3rd and blue bayou and cafe orleans just went up for oct 1/2
 
Just booked LL for the 14th. 4:55, last available slot before OBB, I guess. So they dropped at 2:00 Pacific time?

Yeah basically was just browsing reservations on the app while watching TV and noticed it loaded jjst after 2am PDT so immediately after reserving came to post here.
 
I CAN FINALLY RELAX. Got my final two reservations this morning with Lamplight Lounge and Wine Country Trattoria. Wine Country is mostly a backup though incase I fail at getting Trader Sam's when it goes live next week for a very specific set of times. I really hope everyone is able to get the times they want and get their experiences they are looking for.
 
So happy they finally released some times for late September and early October! I wasn't able to get Storytellers Breakfast or Carthay Circle as they haven't posted times for during our trip just yet, but I was able to get Blue Bayou on October 1 and Lamplight Lounge on September 30! I was able to get Storytellers Dinner on the 30th for dinner, but hoping for breakfast on the 2nd. Can y'all tell me about dinner there? Worth it?
 
Yay! Got Lamplight for party night, although doing it was a bit of a mess. I have 2 Disney accounts, and I accidentally logged into the wrong one to make the reservation, and then wondered why it wasn't showing up in My Plans. So I had to make a 2nd reservation, and then cancel the first. Also, it wasn't recognizing my Disney Visa that I have tied to my account. I used another CC and that worked, but it's always something.
