How Often Do They Release Availability?

[MamaBear58]

I know that a few days ago they released some availability for BOG the week we are going (11/15 to 11/22), but of course I was at work at the time and missed it. Any chance that might happen again?

It's rather discouraging that I book a trip in February, onsite, am on the computer at 6 and the phone lines at 7 and still can't get BOG for 4. About to give up because I simply don't have the time to keep checking and the app isn't working most of the time anyway.

Sigh.

I missed out on it too we are also going the same time Nov 17-21.The day they were released I was not at home stalking for reservation times it was the only day I missed since my 180 day mark(just my luck,of course). I don't have an answer for you sorry just wanted to let you know you are not alone.Hope you have a great trip!

Same thing happened to me for the same week. I check on here and the MDE app very frequently and decided not to get online that night. We had multiple issues during our 180+10 window, too- I would see an ADR I wanted then when I chose it, it kicked me out. This went one for 5 days and by the time the WDW IT guys figured it out and agreed that our account had issues, all my chosen places/times were long gone. I will keep trying but it's a bummer when you keep checking and realize you are always a step behind!

It's possible, but there's no way of knowing if or when it might happen. Because most of those dates fall within the free dining period the increase in resort bookings probably meant Disney added kitchen and dining room staff so more tables became available. Some have said that during very busy times the Music Box room is open for dinner so perhaps that is what happened.

It's discouraging when you've been checking and then miss the unexpected release of more reservations, but keep checking online because you never know when a cancellation or new batch of reservations enters the system.
