How do I coordinate a Cancel?

[old feller]

The Cancel Threads allow DIS'ers to post ADRs they are planning to cancel. At times, DIS'ers may be able to wait to cancel and offer to coordinate a time to release the ADR, other times the ADR must be cancelled in order to book a new ADR.

When posting a cancel, please indicate if it is cancelled or you are willing to coordinate via conversation, formerly PM. ALL coordination must be handled via Conversation/PM. If you have less than 10 posts you cannot offer to coordinate. Please post that you have cancelled or when you plan to.

Never post I PMd you, makes me crazy and not within the thread guidelines

You must have 10 posts in order to PM. Do not post on the thread that you don't have enough posts to PM. Become an active DIS'er!

Trade/Transfer/Wanted posts are not allowed.

Please follow the guidelines. ALL posts that are not cancel notices will be removed immediately, without notice. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in an infraction.

There is usually a cancelled (month of your trip) thread. Once you find someone then you private message them to coordinate. I have texted with the person directly after coordinating on private message.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, OP, but I can explain how I've gone about coordinating in the past.

Person A will post that they have a reservation they need to cancel (including the time, restaurant, date, and party size). Then Person B, who wants that reservation, will send Person A a private message. They will agree on a time (lets say 2:00 on Friday, October 9th). At that time, Person A will check to make sure Person B is online by sending another private message. Person B should have the restaurant's site open, and they should be logged in with their My Disney Experience account. Person B should then start searching for the reservation, and Person A will drop it. If everything works out, the reservation should appear for Person B shortly after Person A cancels, and they can book the time.

I do know there have been some problems with this process lately. Some are reporting that the reservation doesn't show up once Person A cancels it (this might be because some places are overbooked, or some computer glitch, I don't think anyone knows the reason for sure). I've heard from some people that the reservation slot sometimes opens up exactly 1 hour after Person A cancels, but I haven't experienced that myself.
