Recent 180 day reachers... how has it been?

[discorsner]

How has it been going for people who have had their 180 day mark come up this week?

We are checking in on 9/29 which was the last day of the free dining promo.
Our 180 mark is 4/2.

I am getting nervous!

Made 20 ADRs for a 10 day trip with the DxDP and got everything I wanted on the dates I wanted within 30 minutes of the times I wanted for a party of 9. Some of the ressies were split ressies though.

We recently made all of our ADR's for our stay from September 9-18. We managed to get everything we wanted and the only time we had to be a little flexible was for our Garden Grill ADR on the 12th. We were hoping for something around 6:00 pm and ended up getting 7:45 pm or so. We were happy.

I did ours online this morning. I was able to get everything we wanted within 15 minutes of my desired times. The only problem was I kept having to log back in...but after a few times it was smooth sailing.

Pixie dust that you get all that you want!

Smooth sailing here. I got what I wanted when I wanted. Got Le Cellier, Cindy's Table, and Tuskar House. We live 2 hours away from The Mouse so we're taking a 2 day trip, I didn't want you to think that we didn't get all the ressies we wanted, just those three. You shouldn't have a problem. Good luck.

I did mine yesterday morning. Got everything I wanted.

 

[kylieh]

This morning, 15 reservations, got everything I wanted. Found that at the beginning of the trip times were within 30 minutes, end of the trip were spot on my requested time.

 

[Busy Busy]

I made 16 ADRs on 25th March and everything was great. All within 20 mins of, or spot on, the times that I wanted. I was booking for 9 people on some days!

Only problem was 2 days later sorting out the last 2 days of the trip, but it seems that others have had trouble too, I have no doubt that it will work out when I call later tonight rather than rely on the computer!!

Wow, we are identical! We check in on September 29 so that we can get free dining too. Our ADR day is April 2 too!!

Made ours this past Saturday and it was super easy. We got everything we wanted too!

 

[WendyWuWu]

Made ours last Sunday. Got everything we wanted, including 'Ohana at the exact time I requested, and Le Cellier within 30 mins of our requested time. I don't think you'll have any trouble as long as you make your ressies as soon as you can that morning.

 

[amym2]

Just made mine and got everything (Tony's TS, HDDR, Coral Reef, WC, Ohana, Cape May). Surprisingly the only tough one was Cape May- only 10:15am available. Must be everyone coming in for F&W.

 

[amym2]

Scratch that- just went back in and more times were open for Cape May. Even Ohana had more times. So no problems, got everything!

 

[kamik86]

I did mine yesterday. I got everything I wanted close to time except Garden Grill being 45 min later which isn't bad and TRex was the worst, this one only had 4:00 and 8:00 available.

Le Cellier, Tutto Italia, Crystal Palace before park opening etc all were fine.

I will be there 9/23-9/30. I woke at 6 am yesterday to make my ADRs online - I had no problem getting the dates/times I wanted. I could not reserve the Fantasmic package online for September since the dates don't even show up on the calendar, so I called at 7 am....I got a reservation for Mama Melrose at 3:45 not my desired 5:15 ish.

Their online dining reservation system is broken. Both times I called to Disney yesterday morning, the CMs agreed. I am pretty techy and get figure out work arounds, but their online system is severely flawed.

 

[MARsMama]

We check-in on Sept. 28, so our 180 day is this Friday. I am getting nervous about getting our ADRs. It's my first time ever making ADRs myself and this far out, as dh phoned them in last time only a month before we left.

I knew I should have gone to Disney a day earlier That would have saved me the trouble I have been having with the system for our last few days!

 

[justbishop]

Just made 10 ADRs for 9/24-10/1 and got everything I wanted within 10-15 minutes of my time. Even prime times like 7:30pm Rose & Crown and 7:45pm California Grill. I also had no web site issues like have recently been reported

The website issues appear to be for the dates at the far end of the 10 day window which may be why you were okay. Those on trips of up to 8 days seem to have had no problems. I was fine with the first ones but hit problems for anything from October 2nd onwards and still can't book them - not even on the phone
