My experience with making online ADRs

[DisneyFirstTimer10]

Today was my 180+10 so I woke up at 5:45am- I logged into my disney account first- so my resort reservation popped up, and then I went to make dining reservations at 6am on the dot. I had to reenter my resort confirmation number to get the later dates to open up, but it worked completely fine. I was using google chrome- and it worked very well up until 6:30am when it started taking forever and freezing on a white screen- luckily by then I was done

My advice is to absolutely wake up and start making your reservations at 6am!!!

I did switch over to explorer at 6:30am and its working fine. Not sure why google chrome was freezing.

I was able to get: (party of 4) Last part of September- First week October

CRT Dinner at 5:15pm
Ohana 6:45pm- will eat then walk to the beach for fireworks
Tusker Lunch 1:10pm
Garden Grill 5:15pm
TRex 3:30pm (will call restaurant direct to try for later time)
Rose and Crowne 7:25pm to get a spot for fireworks

That was the order I booked in

Somewhere in there I tried for Le Cellier lunch- not because I wanted to eat there (already been a few times) but because I wanted to be able to report on the availability to you- and sorry- it was GONE- even for the last day of my trip when most wouldnt be able to book dining yet- all lunch reservations taken- I'd call though if it was something you were interested in just to see....

Also- Fantasmic package- wasn't open for October dates online yet- I'm going to call at 7am and see what I can find out.

Edited to add- Called at 7am on the dot- had to call back since I got the we are closed recording.... at 7:03am it switched over- I was on hold for one minute, and then connected to a CM. I was able to book a Fantasmic dinner package for October 1st through her at Mama Melrose for 5pm! WAHOO. I also asked her about Le Cellier and she said they weren't showing any availability on their end either.

Glad to hear you got everything you wanted! I was up at 5:30 to book online today too...unfortunately, my online experience was a little different from yours! I was able to book our first day and that was it; it wasn't able to retrieve my reservation so I could make dining past today. So, onto the phone I went at 7am, got in right away (took about 2 minutes!) and was able to get everything I wanted!

My list is mixed up a little with amount of people since our friends in FL are joining us for dinner on two days.

first day (only one I could book online) - Whispering Canyon Cafe, 5:20 pm for 8 people
2nd day - Garden Grill, 4:35 pm, 8 people
3rd day - Crystal Palace, 8:25 am, 8 people
4th day - 50's Prime time, 5:40 pm, 13 people
5th day - Ohana, 5:00 pm, 13 people
6th day - Mama Melrose Fantasmic package, 1:45 pm, 8 people
7th day - BBBoutique, 8am, 2 kids then a breakfast ressie at CRT for 8 people at 10am

So excited!! Now waiting (not so) patiently for wishes dessert party for October to open up to finish up!

I had difficulty getting 'Ohana for one (ended up making a ressie for 2). I am now thinking it's because its just me. Seems like people with larger parties are having less trouble.

i had to reenter my confirmation each the I searched for an adr today? very little availability at 6 am and I only made one ADR. I called at 7 on the dot and waited on hold 3 minutes and was able to book all the adr's that were not available at 6 online (excelpt le cellar lunch but seems to be a common issue after sept 24)

I should have slept in an hour
