Is anyone else having trouble with the app and looking at availability for dining? We don’t make adr’s for two weeks but I always get on and just check what’s available for dates that are open. I have never had an issue in the past but today and yesterday it just keeps saying “no results found, try selecting some different filters”.

Yep. Today was my ADR day and I have been getting really weird results. I am just trying occasionally and seeing what happens. For me this isn't terrible since we only want 3 reservations. Hope it is fixed for others soon!

We're heading back to POP from 11/3-11/10. ADR's this morning were eerily easy and it's freaking me out!

Okay, so dates have changed once again. Thanks to my daughter’s cheer comps

My ADRs open on Monday, but I'm a little nervous that people are getting weird results. I'll try first thing in the morning on my Mac and if I can't get what I'll want I'll try calling on my way to work.

Here are my plans so far...

Saturday 11/10 - Travel Day
Get to DHS around 3pm, do my fast passes, watch Fantasmic. Go to bed early or hop to Epcot or Magic Kingdom for evening EMH. Mouseketeer outfit, get new custom hat.

Sunday 11/11 - Animal Kingdom / Leisure Day
Rope drop it, Sanaa for lunch, DVC tour, maybe take a nap, then pick another park.

Monday 11/12 - Epcot
Open and Close the park. Try for an 8am Breakfast inside Epcot. Briar Rose Disneybound

Tuesday 11/13 - Magic Kingdom / Party 1
Open and close down the joint. Shoot for dinner at Cinderella's Castle. Mickey Disneybound

Wednesday 11/14 - Animal Kingdom
Open and close the park. Maybe hop to Magic Kingdom for evening EMH.

Thursday 11/15 - Magic Kingdom 2 / Party 2
Open and Close. Ariel Disneybound

Friday 11/16 - Animal Kingdom 2
Open and close! Maybe hop if it's available.

Saturday 11/17 - Hollywood Studios
Open and close the park. Try to get an early breakfast at Trattoria al Forno at the Boardwalk and walk over to DHS. Woody or some other Toy Story Disneybound

Sunday 11/18 - Last Day
Open at Magic Kingdom, lunch at Cinderella's Castle, hop somewhere (probably AK). Take the last plane out of Orlando (probably around 9:40 pm... They're still not up for me yet.) Get home around midnight or 1 am. Gaston Disneybound.

Monday - Back to Work as a zombie.

On Mon, Nov 12 TP is predicting a 10 day at all parks (however no other source says this, so I am skeptical). There are EMH at AK that day from 8-9. !

Wondering where you found the EMH? On the disney site i havent been able to get even park hours for after the 4th. (We are there nov 6-13) thanks!

If you go to "My Itinerary" when you're logged into the My Disney Experience thing on the website through your Macintosh or PC, you can go under "Add Plans" to "Add Parks & Places". This will let you see hours not yet on the regular calendar and add them to your itinerary.

All of your times should be available to see right now. I can see up to 11/15.

We are going 23 Nov - 2 Dec. I just tried this and "Add Parks & Places" was not clickable at all.

Correct, it will become clickable (not greyed out) closer to your 180 day date.

It’s clickable up to November 15th right now. So in 8 days the 23rd should become clickable.

I love the Disney Bounding. My DD and her friend did that last year and I did 2 days. 1 as Smee and 1 as Snow White. Snow White was at MK and I even had kids think I was Snow. Most of my character M&G's knew I was Snow. My DD and her friend went as the Evil Queen and Maleficent one day and we ate at Akershus with the Disney princesses. The reactions were great. Have a great time. Your trip sounds good to me.

I have never had an issue in the past but today and yesterday it just keeps saying “no results found, try selecting some different filters”.

I don't like to book dining on the app because there always seems to be an issue, and there are some restaurants like CRT that you can't book on the app, but it doesn't bother to tell you that.

My friend offered to make our hard-to-get ADRs for us since we're all still connected on MDE from a past trip. We took her up on that due to the extremely weird lack of availability that everyone is reporting. Not sure what's going on there. I have to think they held back some of the reservations.

If anyone has a restaurant they'd like us to check at 180 +10 just to see if they've released any reservations at all, let me know.

I had some problems booking this morning (later found out they are having problems with mc). But was finally able to get everything i wanted, although i may adjust some times if i see something become available. The only one i wasnt able to book was the fantasmic package. So i just booked the h&v seasonal dine and will keep checking for fantasmic openings

I was surprised that MK has no Extra Magic Hours the week of Jersey week. I remembered last year it opened early during Jersey week last year so I looked at the historical hours and sure enough MK had a regular (not EMM) opening at 8am every day that week. I think they did that a few weeks before, I'll bet they do the same thing this year. I need to contemplate what this does to my schedule.....

MK has AM EMH on 11/9 and PM EMH on 11/10. Right now they have the park opening at 9 am everyday but I'm sure a few weeks before they will make that 8 am, just like they did last year. I'm really hoping for them to extend PM EMH on 11/10 to 2 am like they did last year. Right now it only goes to 11 pm. Fingers crossed!! DD is really looking forward to this.

Oh, wow... 11/10 is my arrival day. I don't know if I should be excited or scared at the prospect of MK until 2am.

We're visiting from 11/2/2018 - 11/11/2018. Staying at the Polynesian. (@Newsies )
It's my first visit. DH has only been to EuroDisney and our friend was at Disney World back in the late eighties as a child.

Checking in! I share the same exact dates with glennsgirl762 at CBR! 11/11-11/17

We were at Coronado on a Travel Agent discount (only room I could find), but as soon as I got the email about the pool being closed we switched over to CBR. My husband really wanted the pirate room which is all they had. I'll prob be kicking myself giving up the King bed for the fulls since we may not even go to the pool but oh well! We may go one morning before MVMCP.

 

[Treysar]

Thinking of booking POR Nov 25-30. Any pros or cons you can think of? Any deals that may come out before then?

Thanks!
