I am DESPERATELY looking for an Ohana's Lilo and Stitch breakfast for either 9/22 or 9/25 for 5 pp (3A 2C)

I had a res for 9/21, then my DS (3) said he didn't want to see Lilo and Stitch so I gave it to a fellow DIS er. Anyways, my nephew (6), who is going on this trip with us, convinced my DS that he HAS to see Lilo and Stitch.

So now I'm back to square one and looking for a Lilo and Stitch breakfast for either 9/22 or 9/25 (the only two mornings we haven't already planned something). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

PLEASE i'm really looking for a Boma Reservation for Sun. Sep 27th 2A and 2C

anything really after 6pm

ALSO any CP, CRT or Tony's for Tues sept 29th (mnsshp) dinner time after 4ish party of 4 (2a and 2c)

our plans have changed around again! haha

i was on the phone earlier booking our MNSSHP tickets and i asked the CM if the restaurants have walk up tables available and she didn't know and said that each of the restaurants do their own thing. does anyone know if most restaurants have walk ups avail? even if we have to wait a bit...i can go there at 5 ....if it's an hour wait ...that's not too bad...we're staying at the AKL.

i would like it if i could get a res of course...but the walk up could be a back up plan ...??

I do have (for trade-or cancellation...whatever comes up)
Les Chefs for Sep 29 at 5.30pm for 4 ppl
Boma for Sep 29 at 7.30pm for 4 ppl


thanks a bunch!!

I am desparately seeking a Teppen Edo for 9/11, 9/15, 9/17, or 9/18. I am willing to trade my Le Cellier on 9/12 for it. Party of 4.

I also need to cancel a Donalds BF (8:00) for 9/12.

It makes me sad that there seems to be so many people who are still looking for reservations, when many people seem to have double and triple booked, or made reservations for restaurants they don't really care for.
I understand that plans can change, it is free dinning and food and wine but why is it that it is September and people are still holding on to extra reservation.
It just doesn't seem fair.
I do love the kindness of people sharing but please let go of your reservation if you don't plan on using them as soon as possible so others may enjoy their Disney dinning experience.

I couldn't agree more! This whole system is screwed up IMO. I booked a trip about a month ago and I can't seem to get anything. (except for the few offers from fellow DISers who I can't thank enough! ) and I don't even have free dining I was going to pay out of pocket but looks like I should forget buying the Dining Plan all together and stick with cheap eats for the week!
People are double and triple booking because of the way the system is set up having to book 90 and soon back to 120 days out and I completely understand why they are doing it. Who the heck knows what and where they want to eat 3 or 4 months from now? so they pick a few choices and decide when they are there! It's unfair for everyone else but because the way Disney is doing this I completely get it and I blame Disney for allowing this to happen! You don't even need to have a reservation to book dining!!! So ultimately I can book reservations a few months from now in the hopes I MAY want to take a vacation in the spring even if it's not definite or in the spring book reservations under the assumption free dining will be offered! This is really frustrating and I just wish Disney would change this system.

We are paying out of Pocket as well being DVC members and had our trip booked 11 months ago! On our scheduled day to book dining at 90 +10days out we were unable to do online dining at 6am due to a glitch for DVC members and had to wait a whole full hour before calling WDW Dining or 3 hrs to call DVC MS! By the time we got on... we had nothing that we really wanted but have to hang on to it as if we give it up, we'll end up with nothing at all. Hoping for trades.... we have 18 days to go!

Still searching for CM for dinner party of 4 between 9-13-9-20 fi anyone can help. I have 2 character meals I can trade.

 

[Linda L.]

I was on the computer first thing in the morning, 90 days out, and could not get the reservations I wanted. My first choice and favorite restaurant is Le Cellier. We will be arriving Sept 21. The only thing available was 1:30 so I grabbed it. I've been on disiney dining a hundred times since to see if there was anything available on Sept 21,23,24 and cannot find anything. I know it's crazy, but we go for the food, as our children are no longer interested in going with us. My vacation won't be complete without a meal in Canada. I don't know if I can even make the 1:30. We're arriving in Fla at noon. I would love to trade for any other time during those 4 days.
I also am holding onto an extra Coral Reef. First I got a lunch at 2:55, then found one last week for 4 on the 22nd. I'm willing to trade one or one plus Le Cellier for any later le Cellier. I was debating about the Coral Reef time because I'm going to the Halloween Party at the MK at 7, so maybe, should keep the earlier, though I'd rather have dinner.
Anyone have Le Cellier to offer?
Pretty please.

I think that is terrible!!! Being a DVC member and shelling out all that money and PAYING for the Dining Plan and you can't get any reservations that you want! Is it me or is something wrong with this picture!
What about for the people who have reservations and can't book at 6:00am due to work or school or kids or life? They get the leftovers? But people without a reservation get exactly what they want? Anyone can just book the best places months in advance and then not even book a trip and the reservations never get canceled because they forget about it or don't care to do so.
Well I still plan on having a fabulous time and not going to let this get me down and it just means more money in my pocket and less food in my belly (which is probably a good thing!!!!)

 

[rt2dz]

I've had this trip booked for over a year. I don't find the dining plans to be a good value for our family, even when free--we save more money by using the 40% off room-only discount--so all out of pocket for us. I went online at exactly 90 days out when online reservations opened. I could barely get anything most our trip because of the +10, which is obviously due to people who do have reservations. It has more to do with people having free dining. More people want ADRs v. when there is no free dining. Plus, some of the resorts are completely booked up (discounts AND rack rate) during our trip, partially due to conventions (I checked!), but that fills up restaurants, if not the parks, even more.

I do not double book anything or book several ADRs for the same hard-to-get restaurant. I do take what I can get because something is better than nothing. Plus, then you might have something to trade to get what you really want. Somebody's "must" is someone else's second, or third, choice. Of course, if I do find something better/more to our liking, I book the new reservation first and then cancel the old ones, but I don't hold out long--that's simply not fair to others. I like to believe that the majority of people are more like me than just rude.

We are finalizing our day-to-day plans for our trip & just added a night on to the beginning & 2 nights to the end of our trip!!

So, I have some pretty decent ressies that we're not going to use & wanted to offer them up to anyone before I cancel them so I can just change the name on them if needed!

9/16 CA Grill 9:05pm (WISHES @ 8pm) party of 8 (6 AD 2 CH)

9/21 Le Cellier 2:45pm party of 8 (6AD 2CH)

9/27 50's Prime Time 11:25am party of 4 (2AD 2CH)

Let me know if you want any of them! I'll probably cancel them by Friday!

Hi Linda ~

I haven't cancelled these yet because I haven't had a chance. I know you were really looking for dinner on 9/21 but I have that 2:45 lunch ressie that's a little later than yours if you want it...just let me know!

If anyone wants any of the other 2, please let me know as I'll probably call in tomorrow to cancel them!

 

[utkscvol1]

I get kinda frustrated with the whole booking thing myself. I was booking @ my 90 day window but then my brother and his family couldn't go @ the 45 day mark so we had to do some readjusting. I have stated that I would trade to get a dinner for one that I have only because out of the 2 my kids would prefer to do the other one. I don't double book, I don't think it's fair to everyone else. I wish Disney wouldn't allow it. Oh well, it is what it is. Still happy to be getting free dining so ya can't complain too much!
