I would search for both - you never know what will show up. I've had success with both methods.

Will do! Thanks!

Anybody with 2 people have advice? Two years ago when I tried 180 days out, I couldn't get Ohana for 2 people, but when I put in 3 or 4 magically there were openings. Anyone have this lately? Or have advice? Should I search for a party of three everytime and then modify?

 

[Eeyore1220]

I’ve heard that but I have 2 people and did really well… maybe I’ll try 3/4 with a couple of places to test.

 

[Eeyore1220]

Interesting… there are more times available with 4 than with 2. Maybe that is the best way!

Thanks for checking.

I was shocked this morning. I just tried for all the places I want when we go. It's 2 hours after the start time for 60 days. Only places not available for times we would want are Space 220 and Ohana. Even Oga's had a bunch of choices. This makes me feel better, seeing how most of the days I'm looking for are 60+4 or 60+6 days. Maybe I will sleep the night before lol (probably not)

Our ADR day was today, and it went great for us. We got Oga's Cantina, Sci-Fi Dine-In, Space 220 Lounge, Splitsville (because I would like sushi, and I'm literally the only one), T-Rex, and Yak & Yeti. Literally everything we wanted. Everything was wide-open except for Space 220 Lounge (opens up after 60+7 for 4 people) and Yak & Yeti (opens up after 60+4 for four people).

My sister was not so lucky. She's arriving on the same day, staying at a different on-property resort, but was unable to make reservations beyond August 2. So what we had to do was have me make the reservation, but put her as the principal contact. This worked perfectly. She was later able to get her reservations working by contacting support via chat. (I didn't know there was a chat.)

Also reserved Savi's Workstation (nearly impossible to do from the UK), but will need to wait a few days for Droid Depot, we're not quite done. There are a few days after our 60+10 still to book.

My first reservation day is a Tuesday (no shows Mon/Tue), so I can only look at 60+1+. All shows are available for 4, except the 6:15 at 60+1, which is a Wednesday.

Love the feedback! I've got some time to my ADR day but happy to hear your good fortune!

For those who have made dining reservations, have y'all seen the rose & crown fireworks dining Package?

 

[NJlauren]

We are doing a major split stay but our dates are Aug 20-28, pop, universal, offsite, like to make it complicated

I don't seem to have 60+10 on that, just 60. The search button is greyed out if I select a date beyond 60.
