No ADRs for me :(

[java]

We have a trip booked end of June/early July as well. I'm all set with my June ADRs, but I'm waiting for July hours to make the rest-how are you guys deciding which ADRs you want without park hours?

I guessed. I figured that maybe the hours would be similar to the June EMH days so I based it on that. I can always change them if they are drastically different. But generally dinner is where we want it to be no matter what park is EMH.

That is what is annoying me too! I like to figure out which parks we'll go to on each given day before I decide on ADRs, and I can only do that through June 30th right now. We're going from June 28-July 5 and I am going to call this morning and try to get 2 ADRs and then I guess we'll just have to wait for the others. We're not big ADR people because we try to eat mostly counter service and snack on stuff, so it's really no biggie, but here's hoping that everyone gets what they want. Today is the day, good luck!

At least you got threw, I called starting at a couple of minutes before 6 am central. I got threw to one guy that was not experienced on the new system. He had to reconnect me and I got the more than 30 minute wait. it has now been more than 30 minutes. I hope they answer soon as I have to go to work in a bit.

OMGOSH... we must have gotten the same guy. I got hung up on and had to redial and got through at 7:04 am (4:04 am my time) and then, when the guy answered he said that he was only doing May reservations. PLEASE... and he reconnected me and I have a 30 minute wait. I've been on hold for 41 minutes now. This isn't right...

 

[Deedlbugg]

Same here!
Been 41 minutes so far.

No wonder why you had problems! You started throwing things!

Seriously, I have about a month to go until I make my ADR's, and I am NOT looking forward to it!

Last year, when we were at 180, it was actually fun making ADR's!

I called Sat AM for our 6/26 - 7/3 trip and got most of what we wanted, included MM Fantasmic package for the 29th @ 5pm. I'm still trying to understand why SciFi is booked solid every day. That's the one reservation I'm still hoping to land before we go.

I had Denise and she was fantastic. She tried different time slots to see what was available for the different restaurants we looked at. I think the key is to be flexible on your dates and maybe times. I won't eat dinner at 4pm but was able to get everything within 30 - 60 minutes of what we were looking for.

Hold time was 30 minutes at 7am. When the booking window was 180 days, I used to get right through when calling first thing, but this wait was acceptable. Grab a cup of coffee and watch the news while listening to the on-hold music.

Welll... that is encouraging that you got ADRs after waiting 30 minutes. I'm going on 61 minutes so, I'm doubtful...

 

[PatMcDuck]

I waited 35 minutes today. NO SCI FI the entire week! This is a huge disappointment to us. I am just floored, that there is nothing there (Sci Fi) lunch or dinner, June 28-July 3. (family of 5)

I got a Le Cellier, at 7:30pm, not sure if that will fly with the family. Plaza at non one day, we still have never eaten there. Cape May dinner on my birthday. Oh, well, we will sure save $$ on our dining, eating offsite more and/or in our DVC room.

Just got around to calling for our June28-July 8th trip and got ZERO reservations made! Everything we wanted was all booked up .BOOHOO!!! Counter service it is! I will call weekly and try to get a cancellation somewhere.Wish me luck!

Don't give up yet Lisa. My family and I rarely make ADR's any more and we are always able to get a nice TS dinner. We never go during free dining anymore so it's a little easier. Here are my tips.

1) BE FLEXIBLE You may not get Le Cellier but I've never had every restuarant booked every day of my trip. Call Disney Dining first thing when you get up and ask the cm what does she have open. They are very helpful

2) RESORT, RESORT, RESORT We've discovered great new places at some of the resorts. Don't get set in eating in the parks.

3) Flexible times Lunches TS are a great way to get a good sit down meal. Try a late lunch around 3:00. I can guarentee you'll get some thing open then. Cool thing about a late lunch, usually you're not hungry during the prime dinner hours (6:00-8:00) and the ride lines die down. Also you'll have run for a big, fat dessert that you normally would be to stuff to eat.

I hate to tell you this but you were gravely misinformed by the rep. Your ADRS opened today March 30th not yesterday. I called and I was on hold for 61 minutes and I got all my ADRs for our stay from June 28 to July 6th. I can't imagine eating counter service the entire time. I even got a Fantasmic package as well. We have an ADR for each day..

 

[jm106]

I wondered if OP was mistaken too, not to get ANY??
I have called as as late as this past saturday gotten Ohana and changed Chef Mickeys 3 weeks ago and got CP 2 weeks ago with choices of times.
OP call back and make sure.

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

I wonder if this is because it is the week leading up to 4th of July or do you think now that the window is only 90 days out people are more inclined to make ADRs? It doesn't effect me, I am not going for a year and a half, I was just reading because we have friends going that week and despite me telling them for 3 months to look over the menus and decide, they haven't. I ran into her yesterday and reminded her that their window had opened and she didn't seem to care. I normally don't push it, but it is their first time going and they have the DDP, I don't wnat them to waste their money but they just don't seem to have the time. Well, I am going to drop her one last e-mail and then I am out of it...

I hope everyone does as well as I did this morning. I got most of my reservations, here is the recap:

Sunday 6/28-Captain's Grille (Beach Club)--5:30PM

Monday 6/29-50's PrimeTime Cafe (Hollywood Studios)-5:50PM, this was not my first choice, I tried Sci-Fi and the Hollywood and Vine Fantasmic Package but settled on 50's PTC.

Tuesday 6/30-Beach Club Breakfast Buffet @ Cape May Cafe-9AM
and
Royal Princess Dining at Akershus (Epcot)--5:15PM

Wednesday 7/1- Dreams Come True at Cinderella's Royal Table (Magic Kingdom)--5:40PM

Thursday 7/2- Le Cellier Steakhouse (Epcot)--4:30PM

We got everything that we wanted except Sci-Fi or the Fantasmic Package and the times work for us, overall not a bad experience at all. I called right at 7am, got transferred to the wrong queue but got into the right queue and was talking to a rep by 7:12AM.

same here; i share your frustration. I have a two WEEK window of lunch and dinner and NO SCI FI? that just seems impossible. I have been going to Sci FI since it's been opened, multiple times a year and have never had this problem. Does anyone know an email address to contact Disney? Something is not right here and I want to know what it is.

 

[highlander]

My CM did indicate that resort restaurants would be easy to get a reservation. We booked Artist Point for Sunday and had our choice of times.

Any idea how SciFi can be booked up already going into July? I can see having difficulity booking CRT, but not having any availability through 7/3 doesn't seem right.

 

[SRUAlmn]

I just called and got through within less than 5 minutes. Everything we wanted was available (kind of.) I am surprised by Disney's meal time frames.

We wanted to do breakfast at the RFC in AK because we LOVE Tonga Toast and then thought we'd just spend the day in AK afterwards. My mom and sister are NOT early risers, so I asked the CM what the latest available breakfast time was and she said 8:30. I asked her when they stopped serving breakfast and she said 9:45. I don't know why I thought it'd be later.

Same thing on our second ADR. We wanted to eat at Tony's and like the lunch menu a LOT better, but we'll be taking the KTTK Tour that day, so we wanted the latest possible lunch time that day. We got 2:40 because they stop serving lunch at 2:45! What???

Maybe it's just because we are late risers and late eaters, but these stopping times seem kind of early to me.

 

[MellyBeans]

Wow. I managed to get Sci Fi lunch during Star Wars Weekend. Granted our ADR is at 11:15 (earlier than I would like), but still, not so bad.

 

[MACfamily4]

We check in 6/28; I called this morning: 27 minutes from dialing to done; 9 ADRs; got everything we wanted within 15 minutes of requested time, including CM, MM FDP, and 8:05 breakfast ressie at CRT. OP, I agree w/PPs; I think you called a day too early. Keep trying and I'm sending pixie dust your way!

 

[lisa-upnorth]

Ok kids-I have an update!

Just called in at 10:43 am (eastern) NO wait at all,connected to agent directly
I asked for-

June 30th 50s Prime Time at 1pm and GOT IT!
July 3rd Crystal Palace at 1pm and GOT IT!

I cannot say what happened yesterday but assume the agent that tried was in error with the dates and that's why it didn't work

I hope we all have a great time in the heat!90 days and counting ladies!!!!!
