Reached the 180 day mark today and learned a new trick

[vigliottec]

This morning we reached the 180 day mark for our Disney trip w/free dining in December.

I woke up early as we all do for a few ADRs, in particular Ohana.

Much to my surprise all i could get was a 8:30 pm ADR for Ohana. Needless to say I wasn't happy. I tried to alter the reservation and i got it down to 8:05, still not good enough.

Then I had a thought, maybe my issue is im trying to book a table for 2, Ohana tends to have more large tables. So I ran a search for 4 people, and just my luck 5:25 PM table for 4. Then I simply reduced the reservation back down to 2 and im all set.

Has anyone else done this?

Yes, I learned this trick several years ago from this forum. I'm almost always booking ADRs for 2 and this has helped me score some that otherwise appeared unavailable.

Did you do this by modifying the reservation after it was made? I'm having trouble getting this to work in MDE.

ok, I think it worked because I got an email confirmation. It's just not updating in the MDE app. Thanks for the tip!!
