My kingdom for a topolinos breakfast reservation

[vwlfan]

Is there a secret handshake. 60 days out in a few days. Will try my best but never any luck.

I've noticed 60+5 gives you the best chance.

I am finding it easy to get reservations if you check the evening before, starting around dinner time through bed time (people change their plans for the morning) and again early the morning of, when people cancel before the 2 hour window. So don't despair if the 60 days or dining alerts don't work out!

Just tried to do it at 60+ 10 this morning and at 6:00 on the dot it transitioned directly from “sorry, we can’t search times on this date” to “sorry, there’s nothing available all day long”

That has to be a glitch, right?

I tried every conceivable party size. I checked other restaurants and they had availability.

I would think so. This happened to my friend when she was getting reservations for her end of January trip.

I would keep on looking. I think I got my Topolino’s reservation for 60+6 or 7

I still don’t understand the +. 60+5 doesn’t mean 65 days out right?

This. I was able to get a Topolino’s breakfast reservation early this year when it was really busy the morning of, and it looked like there was decent availability

It's your 60 day mark and then 5 days into your vacation. You want to try to book it toward the end of your vacation as you'll have a better chance with less people booking then.

 

[RamblinWreck]

I think the 60+ feature is currently broken for Topolino's.

There is no availability, breakfast or dinner, for any party size, for 61-70 days.

I can find at least some availability at exactly 60 days from now.

Yes it does. Anybody can make a reservation 60 days in advance. If you're staying at a WDW resort hotel, starting at 60 days from check-in, you can make dining reservations for the length of your stay up to a maximum of 10 days. So a "60+5" means 65 days from now, and 5 days after check-in.

If you are staying off property, even if you're checking immediately at 6am Eastern 60 days in advance, many of the ADRs will have already been taken by people staying on property.

On our last trip, I managed to get a Topolino's breakfast reservation at 60+7, which was also our check-out day. However, DW became sick with a very upset stomach that morning. I didn't want to go to Topolino's alone, so I ended up canceling the morning of the reservation.

I was just able to get a late breakfast ADR for my 60+4 but could only get it for two ppl but need three.

Probably no need to worry about adding just one when it's not a pre-pay like CRT.

You might have to wait longer for a table than you'd like, but I'd show up and simply say you've 1 more. If you were 4 wanting to add a 5th person, that would require a 6-top--a problem at such a busy restaurant.

The two of us are often seated at 4-tops, so I highly doubt 3 instead of 2 will be an issue other than a lengthier wait.

For places that busy, in future I'd book for 4 instead of trying 3 at all. The Disney system doesn't like odd numbers.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Almost always they give you the ability to add 1 at check in. I haven’t tried at topolinos but at Ohana breakfast I needed 7 instead of 6 and tried for weeks and thought it would never happen. But was able to add the extra when I checked in and that changed from even to odd

 

[sponica]

I was able to find it at 60+4? But I wasn't looking any earlier than that. Party of 6 at 755 in the morning.

 

[RoseGold]

I've tried it for three trips now, with a tracker app. It never popped up.

I don’t believe the tracker apps are working very well. I had an alarm set for Topolino’s during our last trip, and got nothing, even though I was able to book it while there.
I’d recommend checking periodically.

 

[RoseGold]

It worked for Harmony and BBB, which should both be harder. It also worked for Artist point for 7 people.

 

[RamblinWreck]

I still see zero availability regardless of party size for all days from 60+1 through 60+9, breakfast or dinner. It just doesn't seem possible when I'm logging on first thing in the morning. Oh well. I'm happy with what I did get. I'm just curious about what's going on here.

Is this by FAR the most popular restaurant in all of Disney world? I can do Be Our Guest, Cinderella's Royal Table (with the princesses back!), Space 220, etc, for whatever time of the day I want with many many options.

I think what I read was that they are saving ADRs at some resort restaurants for resort guests, which is why it would’ve worked for harmony and bbb.
I’m not saying it doesn’t work period. Just that it’s not working as well as it used to.
