The only Epcot restaurants with ANY availability around 7 pm on Nov 15 are Coral Reef and Le Cellier. The other FIFTEEN restaurants have zero availability.

And on Nov 16 not ONE SINGLE Downtown Disney restaurant has availability for dinner. NONE? Really?

But I can get CRT for lunch on Nov 18 - multiple times available.

I have a hard time believing this. There must be reservations times that haven't been released yet.

Something really screwy is going on here. If I can't get a Be Our Guest or any other restaurant reservation on the first second of the first day that I'm able to get Dining Reservations, what's my hopes of EVER getting one?
 
Free Dining and F&W I think is creating the lack of reservations problem. Could be people are holding onto reservations they're unsure of until they're closer to the date but I'm staying 11/8-11/17 and usually I have flexibility to move some of my ADR times around. There's no flexibility at all.
 
Weirdness continues....

Nov 21 - I cannot get Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner but I can get BOG.

Who would have thought that BOG would be my backup for LTT.
 

Definitely lots of weirdness going on. There's almost no availability for anything at EPCOT the entire week of the 14th-21st. Le Cellier used to be hard to come by, but it's about the only thing popping up with any availability! No Biergarten the entire week, no Tokyp Dining... sigh. I am going to be obsessively checking back for the next 6 months lol.
 
I'm really hoping they haven't released reservations for the other Epcot restaurants.. I got an 8:05 CRT reservation, BOG for lunch 11/19 and dinner 11/21, but in Epcot the only options are Le Cellier and Coral Reef?! I hope some things open up because I was really hoping to try some new places.

LTT is under rehab currently. Supposed to be reopening in November, but good luck with that.
 
CM just told me on the phone that all Epcot restaurants (During the Nov 14-30 time frame) have limited to no availability right now until they release the official dates for the Candlelight Processional. They are keeping them off the books. When the dates are announced, times will be released.

No Tokyo Dining is what's really getting to me the most because the 15th is our 10th anniversary.
 
I would just keep checking back then as often as you can - people do cancel and reservations do open up. And congrats!!
 
Holy ****. Downtown Disney has no reservations available of any kind on November 17th around 3pm. That's downright bonkers.
 
The only thing that I can't understand about them holding reservations for the Candlelight Processional are the dates. In years past, this even did not begin until the 28th or 29th of November. Blocking reservations two weeks before just does not make sense.

If you were looking for biergarten, I just searched the 14th and 16th and it looks like a lot opened up.

I agree. But that is what the operator told me.
 
I could not even get Biergarten on 11/12 Or 11/13 when I tried when it all opened up from5:00 to 8:00.
 
I'm finding Nov ADRs to be very difficult to get in general. Can't get BOG at all, can't even get a Ohana's dinner. Tusker is fully booked for breakfast for a couple of days (and was at my 180+10). I'm going to keep trying, but this is making me worried the parks are going to be much busier than I had anticipated.
 
I found it weird also. I did my adrs for my Nov 5-14th trip last saturday and luckily got everything with lots of availability. But Via Napoli and Teppan Edo showed no availability, not even for my 10th day and I wasn't even looking for those for myself, I was checking for a friend arriving on 11/14. I logged on the next morning and checked and there were a bunch of openings available for both restaurants. So keep checking!
 
I am sure by now everyone has noticed that just about all restaurants are now available. I was able to get every one I wanted. Good luck!
