Odd ADR availability this morning

[Snurk71]

So today is our 180+10 day mark. I got all of our 1st choices at mostly our desired times (even a place like O'hana). The one I didn't get was a LeCellier lunch. Now, I don't think this is a "LeCellier is so popular it's already all the way booked" situation. I checked for lunch for all 10 days available on our 180 day mark and nothing was available for lunch the entire time period. It's as if the restaurant isn't loaded into the system for availability yet.

It was the same for Coral Reef, Garden Grill, and R&C (other Epcot restaturants were available). I have a hard time believing all of these restaturants are all the way booked a full 190 days out.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K...

I recall something similar happening last year and it was do to Disney holding back tables for the Candlelight Processional Lunch and Dinner packages.

I haven't been in Dec for a few years (2007, and many Decs before that). I remember them holding back tables for the CP bookings, but not the entire restaurant.

I'm not up to date on which restaurants do the CP meals. I thought there were other restaurants that did the package that did come up as available. And some (LeCellier) were available for dinner - just not lunch.

Guess I'll keep checking back.

Maybe call the dining reservation line at 7am today. That happened to me last year with Liberty Tree (for Christmas week). Nothing online, but they had them when I called.

That's very strange. As others have suggested, it may have something to do with CP, but I would call this morning and see if you have success that way.

Excellent!

Right now as far as I can tell (I checked a few days for parties of 6, 4 & 2 - thinking we'd split up if we couldn't get a table for 6), there is absolutely nothing available at Coral Reef, Rose & Crown, or Le Cellier at all for lunch any time after Thanksgiving. Maybe because of the pending Candlelight Processional package details?

 

[Meriweather]

I couldn't get Le Cellier either (today was also my 180 +10 mark)......I do bet it is connected to CP.
Hope we can get it for that.

As others have said, I have seen delays in restaurants not being loaded or even fully loaded (like some ADR times were held back) and I am sure this is done for a variety of reasons.

That or it will scheduled for refurbishment and closed for your stay....LOL.

So does anyone know when we can anticipate the CP dates being published? I tried to make my ADR's this morning and had the same problem.

Last year the first day to reserve the CP dining was 8/26 or 8/29...I've got both dates written down. 0 I'm in the same situation.

That's wierd..I booked my ADR's last Mon at my 80 and was able to get two lunch ressies at Le Cellier (different days)..It looked like they had a ton of availability then because I had my choice of times on either day...

One is on Mon 11/28 for a group of 3 and the other is on Thurs 12/1 for a group of 7.

I found when I did ADR's on my last trip that more availability was added at the 180 day mark. On the +10 days it was harder to find what I wanted.

I tried this morning for Le Cellier for lunch and nothing available. I called when dining opened, she told me it was booked up. She checked to see if reservations had been made for it for other people.
I'm going to keep checking.
We ended up making a dinner reservation there just in case.

I cannot pull anything up for breakfast online, specifically Boma, but they have it when I call in. The system is not functioning properly.

Same here. Despite all of the complaining here on the Dis how it is no longer worth it and not worth 2 TS, the place is still booking up as fast as always.

I couldn't find availiability at Ohana for a party of 16. But when I split it into 2 parties of 8, there it was.

My cousin tried to book CRT this am (we're 180 +10 today) and it's already locked up tight. Wow!!!

 

[Lovetoplanx3]

Just did my reservations this AM and I was told that the Coral reef and Rose and Crown are being controlled by the Candlelight Processional. What a pain to deal with. Now I have to wait and see if we can get booked into any of those places in July, is what I heard. Does anybody know exactly when in July? I am a planner and this makes me very nervous.

[Meriweather]

You and me too.....it is the same with Le Cellier.
We just need to keep reading to find out when the info is released.

 

[litlkar]

I also tried for Rose & Crown this morning. Says no avail lunch times.

 

[mickeysgirl17]

I booked my ADR's this morning and got everything I wanted, but not exactly the times I wanted and I booked at 6:30 when they open bookings at 6am online. It was so strange that I wanted Narcoossees at 8 or 8:15 and it was all booked already so I had to do a 8:45. I don't know how they are all booked within 30 minutes 180 days out.
