online ressie time

[kelmac284]

Does anyone know for sure what time you can make dinning on the disney website? (pacfic time). I always thought it was 7 but someone said they thought it might be 6. I have a bunch of ressies to make starting Sunday for a large group so would love if someone knew. Thanks!!

I think it might be 6 am eastern time, so 3 am pacific time. Unless it has changed. I remember making BB reservation for the Halloween parade and woke up at 3am to get one since the times load on east coast time.

sorry I should be clear this is for Disneyland not World. I know for World you go on at 3 but I thought for Land it was around the regular time ie 6 or 7 pacific. That is my problem lol I can't remember and normally I wouldn't care but we have a large group going.

@kelmac284 6AM Eastern. Done that in the past, this go around we used a TA that did it for us.

Wow that is crazy. Ok thanks!

Unless you’re going for something that’s in crazy high demand, you don’t need to go on right when they release. They often don’t release on time, like, not even the right day. (I mean, this fall they ended up releasing less than a month out at one point!)

If you want the DL Hotel afternoon tea or something else that’s unique and special, that’s one thing. Maybe the WOC dessert party for a large group if you need one specific day. But otherwise, logging in whenever you wake up that morning should be fine. DL reservations aren’t generally “set an alarm” worthy the way WDW ones are.

true I get that but we have a group of almost 100 all trying to get ressies at the same restaurants at the same time and while some of them are bigger than others some are not and our group alone could almost take up the entire place LOL so that is the only reason I care. Competeing with my own group lol

Ah. Well, that is a bit of an unusual situation then. I hope they release on time for you if you go to the effort of getting up in the middle of the night!

I would have a back up plan and split the group at 2 restaurants. My guess is you won't all get the same time- it may be 9am, 9:30, 10 etc... I don't think they are going to want to sit 100 people at once.

What restaurant is it for?

She’s not going for 100 herself.

I assume you don’t mean you have 100 people literally trying to eat at the same restaurant at the same time. You just mean you know there are other people also going the same day as you (because you all belong to the same organization).

Look at it this way: each day there are thousands of people going to the park and as others have described, it’s not really necessary to book at the opening second. So, the 99 other people you know that are going the same day as you are just a few of the thousands that will be there. No different than any other day. No need to stress about trying to book at the opening second.

Unless of course you do actually mean that all 100 of you are trying to go to the same restaurant at the same time, in which case you’re better off calling Disney and seeing if they can make some special arrangement for your group.

Thanks so much everyone. You were right it was 3 a.m. That is crazy. I don't remember it being that early for west coast but regardless I DID get up because yes most of our group is doing all of these meals. We have 2 to 3 meals a day that we are all trying to go to at the same time. And yes we had to sometimes stagger the times but as I mentioned since my group alone could literally fill the entire restaurant I was worried about just getting my table for 6 lol. But I got everything so I appreciate all the feedback!!

 

[mamapenguin]

Yes for DL reservations open at 3am Pacific time and 6 am eastern time.

Thank you for this! I need to get a tea reservation and I was thinking 7:00am pacific, which was incorrect.

Is this also true for Oga’s and Savis?

I would assume yes for Oga’s since it’s a dining experience. Not sure about Savi’s
