Restaurants with nothing at all available

[mandaf79]

Our time for booking ADRs opens tomorrow. I was looking ahead at what is available if I were booking today, and noticed that neither Hollywood and Vine nor Crystal Palace had anything available at all on June 3rd. So I even went back to May, still nothing. Is something going on with these restaurants that I need to know before tomorrow, or have they just not released the times yet? If they haven't released times, any idea when they may release them for June?

Thanks a bunch!

They may be fully booked by people arriving before you.

I just tried Crystal Palace for the date in your example and found both a breakfast and a dinner reservation for 4 people. Sometimes you just have to keep checking back. People will go in at 180 days and sweep up everything they can find, then they'll look it over later and cancel the ones they don't want. Some people do it the same day if they find a more preferred choice, others wait until closer to their departure. Keep checking. I almost always find what I want...eventually. Good luck.

also look for specific times vs a meal (like breakfast)
also sometimes the reservation system is screwy and not all dates seem to be loaded. it's stressful

I do not believe Hollywood & Vine has released reservations past the first week of May yet. I have been trying for about 3 weeks to get a breakfast reservation for May 18th. I signed up for an alert through Touring Plans. Hopefully they release them soon.

I agree with the pp to keep trying if you don't get what you want at first. People change/cancel all the time, so it is possible to eventually get what you want .

H&V, CP, and Tony's are not currently bookable. H&V is not loaded yet for that timeframe. You can book ADRs for up to May 14th but nothing after.

CP is a different story. I could not book ANY date at all so there must be a glitch. I tried online and on the app and calling in.

@French Slushie what method were you using because I tried again today and it was not bookable.

I've heard there are issues with Tony's as well but I personally haven't checked that.

I've been trying to get H&V for about a week. At this point I went ahead and made a "back up" reservation elsewhere and will plan to meet the characters (all but Handy Manny, anyway) in the park.

FYI: Crystal Palace just opened up for, at least, the first week of June. Just booked 6/4 breakfast.

I'm going to say no way, no how. Not 100% booked. Not those locations.
There are issues with booking some locations right now.

Sometimes, I've seen that when people say "nothing" they really mean "at the times I want."

These two really had nothing because either times (for 6 months out) were not loaded or there was a glitch. For CP, either the glitch was fixed or the times loaded. At H&V there is nothing past 5/13 currently.

I know that isn't usually the case though.

I too had this problem at both of these restaurants. My 180 day mark hit on Monday morning and I couldn't get a reservation for anytime through the day for with either place!

Same with me...until today. CP is now bookable.

Thanks to this board I was able to get CP reservation today too!! I wonder when HV will open up?

You and me both!

 

[mandaf79]

Thanks everyone for the replies. I knew there had to be something going on. I've always been able to find something at both places. Even if it was an off time. I checked earlier today and was able to get the exact time I wanted for Crystal Palace. Now to keep an eye out for Hollywood and Vine to open up, and we will be good. I hope everyone is able to get the reservations you are looking for, and again thanks for your help!

I agree. While in this case it does seem like it was a system glitch, the majority of the time it is the "But I want to eat at noon and there is nothing." when you dig a little deeper (as in someone goes in and says they found lots of availability at 11 or 11:15 or 1-2:30 and the person comes back with "Well, ok, but that's not when I want to eat."). If you really want a location, sometimes you have to be flexible.

And again, I get it. This time it was a system glitch.

I just hit this issue to but, wondering about a different reason. Is wdw holding back certain resturants that are popular but also more ecconomical? I am having issues booking Tony's, Plaza, or Liberty tree. But, have found BOG, Cinderella's, & Crystal palace have all kind of availablity. We are going early June too.
Well, glad to know I'm not the only one.
Happy hunting!

They might be all booked. That's what happened to me for some places that i was interested in booking for my January trip. I went to book on the first day I could and people had already beat me to it! or it might be too early?
