Palos online booking question

[JLDSMD]

So tell me, was everyone from the 10/27/05 3-night Wonder cruise up tonight to book their Palo reservations?

I was up at 12:01 (actually as late as 12:20) this morning, Eastern Time, because we are now out 90 days (we are Castaway Club memebers). At that time, everything was locked out for reservations. Since I couldn't get in, I figured that maybe they have it locked until maybe 7:00 a.m. (like priority seating at the parks) so that everyone has a somewhat equal chance of getting in, I went to bed.

I woken up (it was 4:15 a.m. Eastern time) and thought I just log on and try agian. I could get into ALL the reservations and excursions EXCEPT Palos. It says, "Sorry, we cannot book your reservation because there is no availability. Please check to see if there is any availability after you board the ship".

I understand that DCL may not open up all dining times so that people have a chance to get a reservation on board, but there were absolutely NO reservations available. Not even for a day or time we didn't want. Does DCL put the reservations for Palo's out at a different time? Or was everyone from this cruise up late tonight?

Has anyone else on a 3 or 4 night cruise ever have this happen to them?

Thanks

Jeff

Just keep checking..their system is still a bit crazy. It took us many tries to book everything. It kept locking me out..but not hubby on his work computer.

Is the update time 12:01 AM?

I'd be pretty disappointed if I made the effort and nothing.

I am on the same cruise and the same thing happened to me at 8AM today! I called Disneycruise reservations for help but all they could do is try it for me and get the same result. They suggested to wait a few days and try again but also said that all of the available advance bookings could have been already taken by "VIP"s. They did say that some spaces are still being held for on board bookings.

What time zone are the ressies "in"? Sorry I didn't know a better way to ask!! Because if you are in an earlier time zone, maybe you have to wait until the DCL system is on the 'new day".

Also, I've heard lots about booking on-line for Palo, does this include Brunch?

SOmeone on another thread said that they called DCL tech support and apparantly the Palo reservation booking system has a bug.

I remember someone saying that they are based on the Eastern time zone. Yes, it includes brunch.

Yeah from the other thread there is some problems with a bug in the system and they are working on it. I would try later tonight or tomorrow.

The booking system seems to be on the PACIFIC time zone. I had read it several places here and checked it last Sunday when I reached 90 days for our Oct 22 Magic cruise. I checked if I could get in at 12:01AM Eastern (11:01PM for me) and it did not work. Then I went to bed and set an alarm for 1:50AM (10 minutes before the pacific zone midnight). I checked it at about 1:55 and still couldn't get in. At 2:01AM my time (12:01 PACIFIC time) I was able to get in and make all of my reservations.

Others from our cruise thread had the same experience.
