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

Has anyone snagged any BB for October yet? I grabbed CC today for the 8th, but wondering if BB has even been released yet for anything after 10/1.

I tried to get BB for 10/9 at 2:30am CST this morning when the dogs asked to go potty and it was not available to book yet. Tried again when I woke up at 7:30am CST and everything was gone. So sometime in that five hour window BB went from not available to gone. Sigh…

And is the quick service going to also be a problem for food? Has anyone recently returned that can shed some light on this? I mean, I just read a review on Yelp that was for 5 days ago where the person was talking about reserving their walk up /food at a quick service 5 hours in advance and it still took an hour once they clicked "I am here" before they were able to get their food.

Not sure what restaurant that was for and it sounds more like a June issue than a current issue, maybe they went in June and just wrote the review.

Either way, I was there last week. We mostly did Table Service, but I did mobile order from Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge. I put the order in while in the RotR queue around 11:15. After I rode the ride, I clicked the I’m here button and walked over. Got the notification it was ready on the walk over. I was eating by 11:35.

Got carthay for sept 13th but had to choose between 4:40 or 7:40 but I picked the earlier. Hope I can get lamplight but haven’t seen it anywhere.

Does anyone need Oga's early morning 9/12 or 9/13?

Yes! I have a morning ressie for Wednesday the 15th, then realized we’re starting in CA that day so I can’t keep it! I’d love the 13th, that’s our first day and my birthday. What better way to start your birthday than day drinking? can we coordinate a time when you’re dropping it? Most appreciated!

I got one for October 2.

Just a note for anybody interested, I’m dropping an Oga’s reservation for Wednesday 9/15, 4 people at 9:05 am.

Is Trader Sam’s doing reservations for indoor or is it first come first served?

If no reservations, what’s the strategy? Are they taking names? According to the website, indoor seating opens at 4pm. I imagine a long line forming plenty before 4 if they aren’t doing reservations.

Any current visitors have any insight?

Trader Sam's is supposed to start taking reservations tomorrow (August 11) for dates starting August 15.

Wow, thanks. Good thing I asked. Can’t imagine having much luck though! Won’t get my hopes up.

Having a hard time with reservations as well. Grrr.

yep, nothing at 6am EST. Just checked again and I'm getting the waiting room page ("thank you for your continued patience. Due to high demand this istaking longer than expected. We have a lot of guests accessing our system, so you are now in a waiting room" with the big thunder mountain graphic). Hope that means they're adding reservations to trader Sam's page!

Same! I was on from 6 to 6:30, nothing. Had to leave until 7:30 and now waiting probably forever!

 

[MATTERHORN]

So many dropping tomorrow. I hope the site isn't overloaded now that they dropped special dining for Oogie Boogie tomorrow also.

Where did you hear about the Ooogie Boogie special dining?

I’ve been in the “waiting room” for an hour now. Sigh.

 

[sophy1996]

I am so over Disneyland's stupid dining reservation system. There is NO reason why they have to drop so many things at once, causing massive system backups. If it weren't my DH's birthday trip, I'd just say forget it.

Same here. And I'm not even sure we want to book it. I'm clueless on the details and schedule for the event- are there 2 parade times? Is your reserved viewing area for the dessert party at the restaurant? I can book WDW events with my eyes closed, but I'm a virtual newbie with DLR.

Yeah, it is hard to be able to fully plan. In 2019, they had only 1 parade which started at 8:10 PM. Not sure if with two separate dessert party times means we will have two different parades. With no Villainous this year, maybe they are increasing the parades to provide more entertainment options this year. Don't know if we will fully know before Sept 9th and the first party.
