Online ADR's - Just like clockwork!!!

[darthtatty]

Glad you both managed to do all of yours now.

I did most of mine this morning, was so easy doing them online.

Managed to get everything we wanted, mainly buffets though.
Couple of my choices will be on our next trip
we got Kona, Ohanas,crystal palace, chef Mickeys, WCC, T-rex, coral reef, Biergarten, Tusker house and sci fi.
will do a proper list when theyre all done

Grrrrrr, it won't let me book my 14th and final ADR online. Done all the others, no problem at all, but tried both yesterday and today to book breakfast at Olivia's for Aug 20th, but system says there is no availability for breakfast at all! Really? At Olivia's, 189 days out? Doesn't seem believable to me. Any idea what's going on? I randomly tried for lunch the same day, again, it comes back with no availability at all?

Anyhow, the 13 we do have:

Aug 7 ' Ohana
Aug 8 Biergarten
Aug 9 Turf Club
Aug 10 LTT
Aug 11 50s Prime Time
Aug 12 Cape May
Aug 13 Captain's Grille (bfast)
Aug 14 1900 Park Fare
Aug 15 Olivia's
Aug 16 Trail's End
Aug 17 WCC
Aug 18 Boma
Aug 19 Crystal Palace

Try again now, I just searched for 8:30am on the 20th it offered me 8:15, 8:30 & 8:45

Got all of ours too. Did most online no probs. When I called to finish off the operator noticed I only had my birthday and anniversary on one date each and merrily put them on every meal for us! Nice touch I suppose but I like them on the actual date only really. But no big sacrifice!!

Thanks Wayne, I'll have a go.

We put our Anniversary on almost all ours, chances are if you only did it on 1 meal you would not get anything. In 2009 we did 17 days DDP, last year 21 days so 38 credits used and only had 4 freebies. I don't go expecting a freebie every meal but 1 or 2 per trip is a nice touch the amount of money we spend on these trips.

Thanks Wayne, I'll have a go.

They have been tweaking the system, earlier in the week I looked at my list of reservations(in My Reservations) and the ones done by phone were not there, even though I could pull them up seperate it did not store them in the full list, only the ones done online. I commented to Karen I don't understand why they can't be included once linked to your ressie. Checked again this afternoon and I had linked them and they stayed in the list.
Just checked again though and now it says no "You have no dining reservations at this time."

Nope, exactly the same problem again. Search for 8.30 AM on Aug 20, get this message: "Sorry, we were unable to find available times. We searched from 6.30 am to 10.30 am on 08/20/2011 and no times were available."

As a test, I tried the same time on Aug 18 and 19, and it came back with loads of times. So, logically, I can only assume the problem I'm getting with Aug 20 is due to the fact that it is our checkout day. I know that shouldn't make a difference, since DDP credits are still valid until the end of the day, but I can think of no other reason for the problem? Think I'll just leave it and try for a walk-up breakfast at Olivia's that day. For those of you more experienced than me, that shouldn't be a problem, even at that time of year, should it?

That looks like your problem, I just tried for the 21st, day we check out "No times available from 6:00am-10:00am on 8/21/11"
I have never tried for a ressie on last day, we use our last credits the night before.
Of all the places for breakfast i would say Olivias would be one of the easiest to get walk up but why not just wait a few days and book without the 180+10 days. Once it gets to 180 days you should be able to get it no problem.

Yeah, it occurred to me after my last post, why don't I just wait til 180 days out, then book it without linking it to my reservation. This is why we come to you for the expert advice Thanks again for the prompt response.

It will allow you to add to your account as I have one in there showing(all showing again) for this month for House of Blues even though I have no hotel reservation for this month. So you should have no trouble once it gets to 180 days.
