Something up with openings today?

[mrsjoannh13]

Anyone else noticed over the past day or so lots of things becoming available for November? I've gotten 3 notices for CRT today, 2 or 3 for Akershus yesterday, 1 for Wishes Dessert party today, another one for Crystal Palace today... all for parties of 5 at decent times (e.g. not 9 pm dinners). Just curious if anyone else had noticed this. Seems to me that WDW must do some sort of trickle release for their reservations and they are slowly releasing things? Hard to believe this is just a coincidence from folks canceling all of these "hard to get" reservations over the past couple of days.

Not in November, but I've been searching for an 8:00PM Narcoossee's ADR in September for a very specific date for over a month now and it just became available on July 4th, along with a few other prime times on the same date. I could be wrong, but I do believe it's possible Disney holds back some reservations and slowly releases them.

What notification service are you using? I'm looking in November for parties of 5 and not getting anything yet!

All 3! I don't know if I'd recommend them. By the time they scan the site and find the open reservations they have been open anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes and I can't snag them. Basically you need to be hitting "find a table" on the WDW site compulsively to manage to pick up anything like CRT or BOG. What dates are you going? I have a couple of reservations I might be dropping in the coming weeks. Might be able to help you out. Are you subscribed to the November cancellation thread? That has been really helpful for me, too.

yes I'm subbed to the thread! I'm going the 21st-28th. Would love CRT or BOG! We did QS BOG when it was just a soft opening and it was great; would love dinner! I'll keep trying
I'm using Disney Dining Scout and WDW Table Finder, and NOTHING yet!

Yeah, I haven't had any luck with the ADR tools for BOG. I found one manually after many weeks of compulsive searching. Sorry I can't help you out with your dates. We will be there the week prior to your trip. Don't give up! If you know the day and time you want just keep the web page open and constantly click find a table whenever you think of it. Good luck!

I'm wondering if people are cancelling today because they are rearranging in Nov since the CP bookings started today..... possibly?

I've snagged BOG dinner and CRT using dining buddy!

I got CRT today; first time ever trying. I think I was lucky!
