No restaurant availablity for 10/30?

[ThinkTink09]

Is anyone else having this problem? I booked all my ADRS online on Mon without any difficulty except for 10/30...I've been randomly checking online since, and today I noticed that there is no availablity for ANY restaurant that day except for V&A...has anyone run into this before...Do you think its an online issue?

10/30 is more than 180 days out so you can't make any reservations for that date yet. I just tried and it stated that.

I am going around that time,so I tried it for you.I got the same result.Only V&A was available.I tried for around 6pm.

But as long as the OP is staying on property, that's not a problem as long as they're no more than 180 days out from their arrival date, which as of today would be October 26th. If their arrival date is October 27th or later, then yes, they would be trying to book too early. However, the way I'm reading it is that they can't find any availabilty for the 30th (except for V&A), not that the system isn't letting them book for that date.

I had a thought....I'm arriving 10/20. Maybe the 180+10 rule may be valid only for 10/20-10/29, and I can't book for 10/30 as it's technically the 11th day...could that be it? I thought the plus 10 started after your arrival date..but perhaps not. It is strange though, that I can book V&A...

Thanks for double checking for me kellyla

I've always assumed that +10 means that you can book up to 10 days after your arrival date, so that in your example the 30th would definitely be a day you can book on with an arrival date of the 20th. In fact, if I'm not mistaken (it's been a few years since I've gone, so I'm not sure), if you put in the 20th as your arrival date, then the calendar should show you what days you can book for, with any days you can't book for grayed out.

I was able to make a dinner time ADR at Le Cellier earlier this week on 10/30; however I noticed that some places (e.g., Raglan Road) are showing no availability.

I just randomly checked and lots of places are showing as having availability for lunch on the 30th. You might want to clear your browser's cookies and try your search again.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

I tried once more for the heck of it, on a different computer, but had no success. I searched for any restaurant at 0830, 1200, and 7pm with the same results : 74 restaurants found with no availablity (except for V&A with the 7pm search)

Guess I'm going to have to try over the phone...

I just tried for Fantasmic Dining package for that day and no luck, but then again, there was nothing for the whole month of October or November. I made ADR's for Prime Time just in case.

I made my ADR's this morning, arriving 10/27, and I had no problem getting my ADR for 10/30.

I arrive Oct 27th, so yesterday was my 180 day mark. I was not able to make ADRs online, because the online system was unable to recognize my reservation number. I called as soon as they opened for calls and was able to get everything I wanted for the whole week, except Whispering Canyon. The CM said nothing was available all week for either lunch or dinner. She checked and said for some reason WCC was not downloaded into the system yet.. I tried again this morning and the system still would not recognize my reservation number, so again had to call in. The CM said WCC still was not downloaded in the system and to just keep calling back. I was able to get dinner at Ohana for just about anytime and day I wanted that week, but could not get a lunch ADR for WCC? I did not have any trouble getting two ADRs for Oct 30th (50's Prime Time for lunch and Garden Grove for dinner).

I got the "unable to recognize" my reservation number also, and then I realized that I was a dunce because it had the check-in date set at yesterday's date and I needed to change it to my actual check-in date. Once I did that, it was smooth sailing.

I wonder how many other people have done that. I was logged in and I have my reservation attached to my account, so I would have thought that when I clicked on the thing to link to my reservation that it would have automatically updated the check-in date. Apparently not.

Just to add in, I found that when I was linking my reservation if I didn't have the arrival date use the full year, it would give an error. In other words, if I typed 10/10/12 it couldn't find the reservation, but if I typed 10/10/2012 it was fine. Another way to avoid this issue is to use the calendar to select the date because it automatically uses the full date.

OK, I went back and tried again, using their calendar to make sure my arrival date was correct. It still wouldn't recognize my reservation number and said I had to call.

Thought I'd update.....I never did call in for ressies but kept trying online for 10/30. Kept showing no restaurant availability until today. It's the 180 day mark for the 11th day of my trip and I was able to get the adr I wanted online without an issue. (Rose and Crown 740). So I guess it does only let you book the first 10 days...

Sorry to those still having trouble booking online! Its so much easier than calling in, I feel.
