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

[sophy1996]

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.

I'm wondering the same. I would like the set-up to be the same as when we went to the dessert party for the Paint the Night Parade, where we could sit and eat and then watch the parade. But if there are two parties and only one parade, it doesn't seem like that's going to work.

So I got to a spot where it says I’m in a “waiting room” do not refresh or use the back button. Has anyone waiting and actually get in?

I have no information but was just assuming those with 730 ressies will view the parade after their party and those with the later ressies do their dessert party after the parade - meaning both are in the reserved parade area at the same time. Unless they decide to do two parades I would imagine that's how it will roll.

Nope, as you'll see in the thread we've all been in the waiting room since about 4:30ish pacific time.

Doesn't appear so. I just want Ogas and Trader Sam's, not asking for much lol

 

[MATTERHORN]

Same! Stuck in waiting still. I just wish it would give an estimated wait time like when you sign up for Disney races so that I could go be more productive today!

I am thinking we are being preemptively queued for a 7 AM PT release and we (well, someone) will start getting in then....

 

[dreynolds1982]

So I'm in the queue on one device, able to pull up reservation available through the app on another device, and can't access the DL webpage at all on my computer. So....who knows. I've been checking since about 6 am ET and didn't get put into a queue until 9 a.m. ET (6 am PT). All the other times i was able to look at availability with no issues.

FWIW even on the device I can see availability I am not seeing any of the new options yet.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense! Now if I could just get in....

 

[disneyland_is_magic]

I was online searching just moments before the waiting room started, the site had glitches already, very slow and none of the new stuff was showing when I was suddenly put in the waiting room while looking at menus. Nothing for whoever is in the queue before me to see, daydream about or spend time booking.

Now its been so long I am convinced it was fully preemptive or the site is crashed.

I believe the site for sure has crashed. It won't even pull up any info from the DL homepage right now on my laptop. I'm in the queue on my phone but who knows if it will ever actual let me in!

According to Gothic Rosie, there will be two parades - 7pm and 9:30pm.

The main site has been glitchy or unavailable for me since last night, on multiple devices. The only way to see anything was to go straight to the restaurant or attraction page, and now (at least some of those) lead straight to the virtual queue. Hopefully I’ll get through to book Trader Sam’s!

Yeah it's weird that I got re-directed to the site, then the virtual queue on my one phone, but the other phone the app worked now problem and is still working for me. Granted it's not pulling up any of the newly released spots (not sure those have been released yet anyways) but I can see other availability and even book stuff if I wanted to. Weird.

Same thing with me last night and this morning!

 

[butterscotchcollins]

Oooohhhhh Disney IT....I too am waiting with you guys

 

[Bigmace]

So what new restaurants are dropping? I am in the waiting room now but I am just looking if there is any availability for trip that starts tomorrow.

 

[disneyland_is_magic]

I am starting to think we may be in a line that goes nowhere, meaning we are just queuing to get back to Disney's site that crashed and once it's up we won't have any advantage or priority on people who get on later this morning.

Unfortunately because we are expecting some big thing today, we waited and we have multiple devices ready, the demand get worse. Meanwhile, whoever is going to push the magic button for the releases is still in bed snoring away and nothing has actually happened yet.

I’ve been up since 3am and decided I’m kind of ok with eating popcorn and dole whips… good luck everyone!

I’m a DL regular and even I’m confused . Absolutely zero information, like how much the tickets cost and the menu options, too.
