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

Came in here to vent to those that would understand. All I wanted to do tonight was to peruse restaurants for our trip and make a game plan for reservations, but Disney IT is at it again and the dining site is down. UGH!

I have been trying to get Fantasmic for week of Sept 12 - Sept 15 but have not seen it come up at all. I have seen BB and RB come up but not the Actual Fantasmic package. Anybody get them for those dates?

I know with BB you have to request it once you check in (I know people have said that it can be an add on, but it was not when I got my reservation for the 17th which is two days after you leave. There is also a chance that Fantasmic will not be shown during the weeknights.

This morning reservations opened some time before 6 am Pacific. I was on around 5:55 and was able to see times for Lamplight, Carthay, Storytellers, and Oga's before 6.

Yes, looking at the website for Fantasmic packages it looks like only the River Belle Premium Package is reservable. For River Belle Standard and Blue Bayou, it's not reservable but you request from your server.

I was able to reserve Blue Bayou Fantasmic package this morning on the app. 11am reservation on 9/18, and it gave me the second showing.

Just a heads up, I canceled a 6:05 pm ADR for 2 at Trader Sam's for tomorrow 7/21.

Huh, interesting. When I tried the app I got a pop-up saying to ask the server. Mystified.

While discouraging I will say even regular Napa Rose Dining is amazing. Also keep checking back for Chef Counter especially 24 to 48 hours , even same day at opening doesn't hurt to ask ! Just remember it's currently only Fri- Sun which creates high demand. Speaking of which , I have a reservation for the weekend of Sept. 2nd , when are you going as I may need to give it up ?

Riverbelle Premium Fantasmic is hit or miss , the regular packages seem to be great as I've done them recently. Keep in mind the Premium with seats is only about 7 or 8 tables so that is one of the hardest to get. Otheriwse just book River Belle and ask for the package at check in
As an alternative , I watched the second show of Fantasmic seated at the food area just adjacent to Harbour Galley across from Haunted Mansion.
Basically an expanded seating area so got a closeup view with seats mind you , of the floats and even saw the dragon , Mickey , projections , etc.

Thank you for your kind reply and awesome tips! We'll definitely try around 24-48/same-day hours. I didn't even think of that! We are on the cancellation list, and I did email them following up after the phone call reiterating how much we would love to join and how we are flexible between Friday and Saturday. Thank you for asking and for your kind thoughts, we are going the weekend of the 16th.

I wasn't super excited about River Belle food, but the seating part sounded nice to me. I have a text alert for that and Blue Bayou just in case they open up. In the past, we've done Blue Bayou and sat at the very front, but it can get uncomfy sitting on the ground for a while. Thanks for the tip! I'll check that seating area out if we don't end up doing Blue Bayou.

Is it just me or does Sep 19 and Sep 20 have no reservations loaded into the system for Fantasmic dining package. When I pick those days, it doesn't populate the time field with 7:15PM

Pretty sure Fantasmic will only be playing on weekends in September. Same with fireworks

Well that is disappointing, I guess that means I don't need to worry about the reservation lol

Looks like they are also updating choices on the Fantasmic reservations. Was just looking and now Blue Bayou is a choice but errors out after that. Last week it defaulted RBT and 7:15. Then I go in again and BB is not listed. Very very strange - or just Disney IT lol

Or maybe it was just me. I just saw a thread where someone booked it earlier in the week

Has anyone had success booking plaza inn for September? I was on well before 6am this morning and refreshing for a good 35 minutes but never saw a single time.

I looked on here and saw people taking about it being a hard reservation right now so I just wanted to make sure I’m not wasting my time trying for the rest of our trip.

I've seen a few Facebook posts about this.. I wonder if they haven't loaded them yet.

The entire park system for DCA was down yesterday….

No wait time, no LL….nothing.

Lowest bidder stuff at DL and WSW lately.

haven't gone to Disneyland in years, do you have to do each dining reservation each day or is it like Disneyworld based on the length of your reservation?
