I have never been to the SUnday brunch here but decided about 2.5 months ago that we wanted to on the one Sunday we will be there in May (not mothers day). I have checked multiple times per day with not one singe reservation pop up (for 3). I am now wondering if it is just THAT hard to get or could it be closed lol? I never had trouble getting a reservation anywhere except Ohana and BOG (and even then I would see one or two pop up with less desirable times) but even those I could fine with serious stalking!
 
No, it's not hard, but you are working against not having made the reservation at 180 days.
 
Didn't used to be hard at all - not anymore though. Last year we booked two for Easter Brunch the week before...no problem.
Guess those days are gone...
 

I didn't have any problems getting one for Sept. I had to book a later time but I kept at it and eventually was able to change it to the time I really wanted.
 
I decided I wanted to give CA brunch a try well after the 180 day window and nothing was available for two, I set up a touring plans reservation finder and in two weeks was alerted to openings about 10 times. I was able to get what I wanted, and get it changed to a better time. I would keep checking and set up a reservation finder.
 
I wonder if you and I are after the same Sunday (5/20), OP.

I’m not finding anything, but I’m going to keep looking and hope something opens up. We are a group of 10, and I refuse to rip my hair out with that stupid TP app.

I just set it up and chose “breakfast” as the meal time - did you choose breakfast or lunch or a specific hour? Trying to get something for our last day in Disney...thanks!

I chose a specific time 10:30, but I have gotten times much earlier and later sent to me so it doesn't seem that selecting a specific hour is an issue. You could set up two, one for breakfast and another for like 11am to be safe.
