Online ADRs Thread (Updated FAQ 9/9/9)

I couldn't get HDDR, I tried two different dates and two different times for each.

I took Mickey's BBQ instead-I hope that is good. Didn't really have a back up as I figured I would get one of the dates.

I did get everything else I wanted, but one of the dinners is a little early.

They are having a problem w/ HDDR. It's not in the system yet. I've been calling every 30 min. to see if they've fixed the problem yet. It's the 2nd most important ADR for my family next to CRT of course. I have to get this ADR.

glad you got what you wanted. We have done Mickey's BBQ 2x's and loved it both times.Personally I think it is the best!! Secret, get there early since it is open seating, as you enter go left and grab a picnic table next to the open dance floor ( there is a stage and the picnic tables form a square to make a dance floor, you want to grab one of those.) When the entertainment starts people stand everywhere to get a view so if you are in one of these tables no one can stand in front of you.

Anyone else get errors this morning? Trying my (multiple-times a day!) luck on LC and got this message:
'Sorry, we were unable to process your request. Please try again later.'
:<(

 

[milmore104]

After 2 hours and 38 mins I finally got almost everything we wanted. I even got LeCellier for a party of 10! I got all the times I was looking for (within 5-15 mins). The only ADR I couldn't get was Jiko. They had openings later on but we have to be in the MK by 7:30 so it was no good for us. I'm going to try and work it in somewhere else. They are also having a problem w/ HDDR. So I have to keep calling to see if I can get it. For some reason it hasn't been opened up in the system.

Good Luck everyone!!!

 

[ic4usj]

Whatever the error, it's gone now, and WoooHooo! I finally got LC after trying multiple times a day every day since online ADRs opened!

Keep up the faith, DISers, your ADR may well appear evewntually!

Has anyone been able to book beyond 10:00AM for a crystal palace ADR? My booking window is on Monday so i just keep checking because I need a 10:30-10:40 reservation and nothing that late ever pops up. Did disney change the breakfast times or should I call disney dining?

It seems the majority of DISers making ADRs are using the online system. However, for some reason, I have not been able to access online bookings since my window opened up yesterday morning. I've been trying every few hours and receive the same error message. I've even called tech support a few times and each time they've told me that it is a temporary problem, or that there are currently too many users on the system. Is there anyone else out there who hasn't been able to access online bookings? I think it is a fantastic system to have available, but if only it were functional. This is the page that pops up when I try to access the link...

I was having problems this morning as well. So I called in everything. They are having problems. I know shocker! I just called again to see if it was fixed and was told that they are "refreshing" the system. They can't make new ADR's or look at old ones. She told me to call back in 2-3 hours. And for that I waited yet another 20 minutes Oh well.

Ok I am up and thought I would try things out today since I will also be making our ADR on Sun. Of course I can't log in since my 90 days is not here yet but I did try to get a few things for 10/1, the first 6 resturants I put in for had no availability. I have a few back up plans but I really want several to fall within our plans.

What has Disney done to us This is our 5th Oct. (same timeframe) and our 2nd free dining and I have never had any trouble getting what we wanted at exactly 7am. I feel like the days of calling on the days your ADR's open up and getting things taken care of is over. Looks like we are all going to be spending a lot of time on the Disney Resturants site, calling Disney Reservations and begging on the dis for cancellations.

Here is a hug for everone in this messI sure hope the 10/1 people had some good luck.

I share your sentiments exactly! I have had a fear all along that ADR online booking would turn into a free-for-all! Of course, the 90+10 doesn't help things either. I was perfectly fine to call in each day, 90 days out, to book an ADR for that date.

 

[NeverlandClub23]

I just grabbed a cancellation for 8:00 p.m. at Ohana's! (had 9 p.m.) So keep trying if you don't get what you want! I've been trying 4-5 times a day.

 

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

I have logged in logged out tried everything. Even went to another computer. So upset now. I have 30 ADR's to make.

That is exactly what happened to me on our 90+ day. I was so upset! I hope it all worked out for you. Strangely I was able to use the 90+ 10 the next day so I was able to tweak things a bit. Sorry it wasn't working for you either!

 

[kat3668]

I logged on at exactly 6 am and got all the Adrs and all the times I wanted! I was sooooo stressing and now it seems so silly. I was up like half the night.

Sat Oct 3 Crystal palace 8:20 Lecellier 7:40
Sun Oct 4 Yak and Yeti 12:30

Tues Oct 6th Tusker house 8:05
Wed Oct 7th Biergarten 12:45
Thurs Oct 8th Ohana 6:10

No problems with the online booking site... those of you who cannot access your 90 +10 are you entering your resort reservation numbers?

So there's hope for me this week? I have to make my ADRs on Thursday and I've also been really stressing over all this -- first it was the inability to pull up my ressie because we're DVC, then there were all the posts from people saying all their choices were all booked up. I can't wait to get this over with!

Yes I definately think so.
Even this afternoon I was playing around and good ressies were coming up.
The best advice I can give you though is to shoot for the more popular ADRs towards the end of your trip and start with those first. Even Lecellier was coming up for Thurs but I have plans to meet a friend for dinner so I am booked under her ressie.
Good Luck and try not to stress!

WOW - that's great! I'm really impressed. I'm hoping for a 50s PT on the 6th, but would take it on the 2nd; Chef Mickey's on the 2nd, but will be surprised if i get it as its our arrival date; and Ohana on the 3rd, but would take it on the 8th. I hope I get some of your pixie dust! Could you send me some?

I keep hearing this so there must be something to it. If you don't mind expressing your opinion, which of these would you suggest trying toward the end of our trip (October 2-11):

Chef Mickey's
'Ohana
HDDR (I've heard seems to be a problem with this not being in the system right now so I may not be able to book it at all)
Garden Grill*
50s PT Cafe*
Narcoossees
Kona Cafe
WCC

I'd keep trying for the HDDR. As you've probably read they're having issues with that one. Personally, my family did not like the BBQ. We thought it was chaotic (and we were at a table next to the dance floor -- people still sqeezed in and stood right in front of us). If you can't get HDDR then definitely give the BBQ a try, you might end up enjoying it. But we think HDDR is much much better, plus it's indoors.
