Is anyone else having trouble with their 60 day window?

[Mambo Junkie]

My MDE is showing 59 days out. It's definitely an IT problem, but my 60 day window opens in 2 days and I'm stressing about it.
I can book reservations for yesterday, though. Totally frustrating. I'm sure it's system wide, so everyone's in the same boat, but since I haven't seen any topics about it, I was wondering.

I can see from today until March 23rd.
I'd recommend restarting your phone and see if that does the trick.
I find that when my phone has not been restarted in a while it does all kinds of odd things not just with MDE but everything from phone calls to my camera app get wonky.

It works on the app, it works when I click on the individual restaurant. It isn't working on the actual website.

ETA: Like when you go to MDE and click on the calendar. It allows me to book yesterday until the 22nd. I've dumped cookies, browsing, etc, tried incognito, changed browsers. Still the same.

So book your ADR's on the app...

I don't think I'll be able to get Cinderella's Castle on the app, plus do you think my booking window will actually open on the correct date? (serious question)

Why wouldn't you be able to book Cinderella's Royal Table on the app?
Everything should open just fine on the right date.
FYI I went to the website and if I try to pick the date before I pick the restaurant yes it only goes to March 22nd but if I click on the restaurant I want to make an ADR for it in deed lets me see the 23rd.
So again shouldn't be an issue on your 60 day mark at 6am eastern.

I think in the past you had to call for CRT. You could do it online, but not on the app. It's been a long time since I tried to book CRT. This is a trip that has been postponed since summer 2020 and our last visit was 2018. Thank you, I do feel better, but I am amassing phone numbers for 7:00 am Monday should the window not open at 6:00.

We 100% booked CRT on the app just a few weeks ago.

 

[Mambo Junkie]

Thank you! I'm feeling a bit better. I have always been more comfortable booking on the computer, but I guess I'll practice learning all about booking on the app between now and Monday.

I’ve always found that booking on the individual restaurants website is easier rather than through MDE. Just have each restaurant website opened in a separate tab by 6am

What is your check in date?

You can do that with the same account? I never thought of that. I did think of opening in different browsers and incognito, just in case. You know, this is crazy. When I last booked our family vacation in 2018, we were going through the same kind of IT stuff. One minute working, next minute spinning circle and Stitch.

What is your check in date?

March 25. It seems to be working - right now

ETA: My big day is tomorrow
I'm just not naive enough to think I'll get up at 5 am and at 6 am all will be going smoothly.

My reservation day was today and I did have to book on each individual restaurant site to get it to work to show all my dates 60+, not just Day 1. Annoying but happy I had read it here otherwise I would've been really stuck. Sometimes I also had to refresh the restaurant page for it to show the 60+ because it would revert back. The app was having issues when I was trying to book so this way on the website is the only thing that worked for me.

Thank you for the tip (refresh) and thank everyone on this thread for the input. I really only have 2 hard to get reservations I want so hopefully all will go well tomorrow. I plan to use the individual restaurant strategy and have several windows open and ready.

Question: do you go to the first page with Check availability or to the 2nd page with the date time and party size?
Thanks!

This is what I did, I had the restaurants in browser tabs organized from hardest to get to easiest to get and just moved along the tabs from left to right as I went. Then refreshing as needed. Good luck to you!

I was on the first page with Check Availability.

Did you go for Space 220? If so, how far out did you have to go?

I did, but for the lounge not the restaurant. I wanted it on Day 7 and got it but I didn't try any earlier days so I don't have a sense of if I could've grabbed it earlier or not. I had a choice of 2 options on Day 7 and just grabbed one.

 

[Mambo Junkie]

I want it on day 4 but not sure if I'll get it. Was that your first reservation? I'm going to have day 7 set up as well, in case there are none for day 4. Maybe I'll do 7 first then come back to day 4. I can always drop the other. I also want the lounge. Thanks again!

The grandkids eat practically nothing so the restaurant would be a waste of money for us. We wanted to do the garden grill and there was literally nothing they would eat besides salad and fruit. They don't even like mashed potatoes or mac and cheese.
