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

Can honestly say that after 12+ years of being our family's Disney planner and booking dining/activity reservations at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris, this recent experience has *hands down* been the most frustrating experience of all with no predictability or logic whatsoever.
For all of the newbies out there, know that this is far from normal! Hang in there, keep checking with fingers crossed, and maybe a little Disney magic will come your way!

25 years here. I'm not sure if it is the worst but I honestly cannot think of a worse experience right now. I got one reservation--the OBB dessert party which I will probably cancel. Sadly, I think this is the "post-pandemic Disney" and it's not going to change.

As a curious but clearly uneducated American... is there a huge difference between "Canadian English" and "American English"???

We follow the UK English - for the most part, US and Canadian are similar, except for words like colour/color, favour/favor, honour/honor, etc. Apparently we like extra letters in our words.

Oh yeah totally makes sense that a few extra U's would crash the sites entire ability to make dining reservations...

We were able to make reservations at Trader Sam's for Sept 2, but not as a party of 6. We finally managed to get a table for 4 and a table for 2 at the same time (6:45). Is there some way to request to be near each other or should we just show up early and try? I wonder if there are few reservations for larger parties.

Has anyone been able to book Storytellers for Oct 1 or Plaza inn for Oct 2nd. I've been checking storytellers everyday for weeks and don't seem to see breakfast reservations. I've tried a smaller party and different times and I'm thinking it isn't loaded yet but I'm just not sure.

Got my Plaza thank you everyone

I tried all morning to get a Wine Country or Sonoma Terrace Dessert Party reservation for 10/10 with no luck.

There is currently times available for Plaza Inn on Oct 1 but I didn’t see any on the 2nd

Oddly the 10/10 seemed to be the only one sold out from the four or five random dates I checked, even fairly late in the morning. I wonder if reservations have been loaded for that date yet... or what

I checked other dates, too, and wondered the same thing.

 

[CaliforniaGirl09]

Finally able to add Plaza Inn. I think they must have sporadically released dates as a bunch of times on Labor Day weekend opened at one time.

 

[WishUponAStar3]

Argh, I've been trying nonstop for Trader Sam's on our two days at DLH (9/9 or 9/10 lunch) and nothing!! Does anyone have an extra one they might be dropping? Otherwise, is walk-up still a possibility there? Sam's is a must-do for us.

P.S. I have a Cafe Orleans res on 9/9 I plan to cancel, if someone would like to coordinate that with me before I drop it.

So when you go to the main page and see that "No times available" means they have NOT been loaded yet. That space will say what times the meal periods are like this next photo.

Once the schedule is loaded they typically release in the system to book in 24 to 48 hours.

I swear there were times listed this morning when I got on. Also someone in the DLR foodies group said they were able to get 10/2 this morning. I'm wondering if they were removed later.

Does anyone know how to make dual reservations on the same account? We have 9 people and I have to make two reservations as nothing shows for bigger parties even when multiple tables are open for smaller parties at the same time. I have to use two accounts to do it as they cancel one reservation to make a second one. Is this a new thing?
