Have you tried a different browser on your laptop. The last time the website gave me issues (which is frequently), I was able to do it using Edge.

I’ve done everything possible. I think it’s a glitch in the system. It will only let me reserve for my first day. I’m about ready to give up. Been up since 3am (west coast) and on hold since 4am.

Back on hold with Disney to hopefully get dining reservations. Still says wait is over 2 hours.

I love having my planning chart all set up and seeing my plans come together! My ADR day isn't until next week but I have the few reservations I'm looking to get loosely plotted out.

I am determined to hit Trader Sam's this time!!! I've never been. As you can see, I have it penciled in a few times b/c I'm still trying to figure out the best time to slot it in. If anyone has any recommendations I'm open!

They dropped my call at the 2 hour mark. I joined again and have now been waiting a total of 3 hours.

Hello my fabulous Disney friends. After 5.5 hours, I finally got my reservations.

Ohana - very late at 8:45pm but will be monitoring to find a better time
Via Napoli - good time at 5:30pm
Homecomin - Nothing available for preferred date (wanted brunch) so moved it to our last Saturday
Wine Bar George - No issues
Yak & Yeti - latest they had was 3:45 so opted for a Sanaa reservation instead
Sci Fi - No issue

What a saga! I’m so glad you got the places you wanted at least. Fingers crossed you can modify for the times you want.

Wow that was a big mess. I'm glad you got most of what you wanted.

Did anyone else see posts that The Crepes place in the France Pavilion is now accepting reservations? I tried getting something for my first day, but absolutely nothing is available so far. Fingers crossed something pops up. I'd LOVE to go there. I was planning on just walking up late afternoon and trying my luck when it wasn't doing reservations. I guess I'll just keep trying to see if something pops up.

One tip I have is to have as many options of devices and web browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.) available. Also, be prepared to use both the MDE app and/or the website.

For some reason on ADR day I find not all devices recognize my reservation so I need to flip around before I can make ADRs. Not ideal but a challenge I've faced more than once.

My hopes are small:

Trattoria Al Forno first day in

Ohana and Skipper for my MK day

Olga on HS day...


That's about it tbh maybe a meal or shake at Beaches and Cream

The challenge I have experienced in the past is that even though I was 60 days from arrival, the ADR reservation area did not recognize that so I was being stopped from making reservations for any day but arrival day. My reservation was in MDE and I was 60 days out but it wasn’t being recognized. Flipping around on devices and between the app and online, I was eventually able to make ADRs.

We will be there Jan. 4 -11 for Marathon weekend as my husband is running Dopey for the first time. We haven't been since August 2019 but I am in utter shock how hard this trip has been to plan. Every single hotel room is taken (we wanted to switch but can't), got a few dining reservations but not many of my top picks at a normal time and now I have been reading about Genie plus and LL issues. I am hoping things change as we get closer.

I booked all my ADRs this morning at 6 am. Got...
Space 220
Oga
Tiffins
Jungle Navigation
Chefs De France
Citircos and
Wine bar George.
I used an Incognito Window (click the 3 dots at the top right of your screen and open new incognito window) Not very speedy but it was all done by 6:25 am.
Dessert parties were not open for the last 2 weeks of Jan yet.

Thanks for the incognito tip. My ADR booking date is next Tuesday so I will be trying this tip for sure!

Our military tickets from SOG arrived today - 2 days early! Woo! So I was able to link them and make our park reservations.
Now I just need my dad to buy his and my mom's tickets so I can make their park reservations.

This all became VERY real so fast. 58 days until we leave!
