We've been to Disney before. That said we've never bothered with Adr's in the past since we usually stay offsite and the few times we've done Disney dining ie Victoria and Albert's we had no problem getting the dates and times we wanted much closer to our travel. I could never understand why people tried to book so far in advance. So here we are. We've planned a trip for Sept/Oct and I didnt seriously look at our dining until recently. Recently as in the last few weeks. The first few days of our 2 week trip we booked at the Dolphin so be could be onsite(sort of). We had planned to do mainly Disney activites and dining until I now realized that those who snooze lose. And yes I now know why people book 6 mths out ...lol.
We did manage to get the dessert party for MK and CRT for breakfast, but that said I really wanted either CRT or BG for dinner(we'll keep the breakfast if we dont get the dinner) for either of our 2 MK dates. I keep checking daily and there is nothing at all that shows up. Am I dreaming that there might be a cancellation or is it more unlikely than not ? Is there a time of day that these things get loaded on the system or is it a constant reloading ? Anyone aware of any type of waitlist ?
Also having been reading these boards I thought that one couldnt hold more than one ressie at a given time. Last night when I was rejockeying a few ressies I made chgs on the MDE to some of our dinners. Then I had to go back in to cancel the ones that I know longer wanted. As an example we had Via Napoli booked for a 4:45 pm res. We're trying to get it later so when I saw 5:45 pm I grabbed it. I thought that the 4:45 pm would have automatically cancelled but it didnt, and the same thing happened with our Plaza res. ? Shouldnt they have that built into their software ? Otherwise what would stop people from having multiple ressies for the same day until they decide what they want closer to the date? Or is that what I should have done in the first place....lol ?

.When we booked our trip we chose the end of Sept for 2 reasons. First it was food and wine and we thought it would be fun to try that. Secondly we thought the crowds would be more tolerable based on everrything I've read. Im starting to wonder if that is the case ?? I just looked at CRT for all of June July Aug Sept and Oct using the multiple days search site. Plenty of availability ofr June July Aug and the first 2 weeks of Sept. Then nothing, not a single day. Doesnt that mean it is going to be busier ? Or am I missing something ?
