Here's my theory about PS and Dining Plan

Several of us have wondered whether it will become really hard to get PS for sit down meals if lots of people take advantage of the dining plan.

As I've been making my PS (esp. for meals in the parks), I've noticed that lunch PS times start no earlier than 1 pm, and dinner PS are at 5:30 at the latest. I can't exactly eat at CRT at 1 pm then be hungry again for dinner at LTT at 5:30. Were the PS times this way before the new dining plan, or is this a new way to prevent people from having both lunch and dinner PS?

When are you going? And did you call at the 90 day mark? I did for our trip in June and was able to get lunch times at 12:00 and dinner at 7pm.

I called at 7 am on the nose (with no hold) at the 90 day mark, and got 5:25 for LTT. The CM said that I hadn't missed out on any later times - she said that was the latest PS that had been available. I also tried for our other MK day...same story - 5:20 was the latest PS.

With CRT, they BEGIN the lunch hours at 1 pm.

I was able to get 7:50 for Cape May and as late as I wanted for Ohana. That's why I'm thinking it's just the theme park restaurants.

I'm not on the dining plan and I couldn't get LTT later than 5:30 - I talked to the cm and she said to try back as they will release more times closer to May - So that is what we will do - we had no problems making PS's for 7 pm in Epcot - it was just MK that didn't have a later hours opened up yet - I'll keep checking though.
