Rivers of Light Dining Package Lookout Thread - NOW ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS

When you say refresh... do you mean that you just keep clicking on "search times"? Or do you refresh the whole webpage?

Keep clicking search times.

I also change the time around to all the times that work

Thanks for the tip!

20 clicks in... so far no luck. Here's hoping!!

How do you use the app to look for these reservations? It does not appear as a dining option. They've apparently redone the app since I last used it, and it's terrible.

The packages often don't appear. If I need to book while on my phone or iPad, i just open up the web browser and pull up the WDW website.

Oh man, finally had one, but when I went to confirm, it said "sorry for the paws, the table is no longer available!"

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Sometimes I feel like these things are actually a social experiment that Disney is conducting...

what hoops will people jump through to book a dining package?? A F&W event?? A special event??

That stinks
Keep trying! What date are you looking for?

This is really bizarre. For 8/18, Every 20-30 tries I get a 10:35 time. I don't take it as I have a 10:40 and trying for something closer to noon.

Every time I see it I immediately search again and it's gone. Until 20-30 times later, and it comes back. If they were adding additional times, or people were cancelling, you'd think it would be different times that show up, and not the same exact time.

8/17 for around 10

Should I be concerned that I cannot modify the package reservation? It says "your reservation has already started" I'm assuming because it's a special dining event I can't edit it online.

 

[Wazzo]

Tried calling, and she said "all the packages are already booked that day", but to "keep calling back to try for a cancellation!"

What time are you using for your search? I would alternate between 11:30am and 12:30pm.

I don't have the link to change the reservation either. Same thing happened when the Bon Voyage breakfast was released. It took a few days or so for it to show up. Their were all kinds of issues with the reservation process for those, too, but nothing as crazy as this

Alternating all different times, and the 10:35 comes up with almost any time I put in through noon.

There's a flashback I didn't need.

As bad as that was, I'd agree this is worse. And Bon Voyage was really a crazy day. And there is a lengthy thread on here to prove it.

I swear there's some IT person with a really sick sense of humor sitting in a room laughing as they randomly release and take away various times and dates. There's no logical explanation for releasing September backwards, lunch and dinner but no breakfast and vice versa, etc.

I was able to get a 1:45 lunch reservation at Tusker House on 9/28. i see they only have every other day available right now. I had to change my planned AK day from 9/25 to 9/28 to get the dining package. is there a chance they'll add more days to September? Also if the reservation says 1st show, does this mean the park might be open longer than the 9 pm closing they have right now?

I can't seem to get any dates for our August vacation. Trying for dinner on 8/18

Only breakfast was released for that date. Keep trying for breakfast times

I got a breakfast for 10:30 for 8/16 but really want a dinner. I have refreshed it all day today and cannot get a dinner to show up for TH.
