Sorry, our system is currently experiencing high volume...

[waltskids]

Sorry to hear everyone is having issues!
I just finished booking a few minutes ago for 12/26-30 and got everything first shot, including CRT. :goodvibe

I loaded one page and set up the ressie # a little before 3, then opened up multiple tabs, opened each restaurants page I wanted to book and the ressie was already associated with each tab. I was able to refresh at 3 and book each restaurant. After I put it in a cart I would move to the next tab and it would have registered the last ADR and then add the new one till I got to the end of my tab list. 6 in total.

Make sure you have all the right CAPS in your ressie number, and the last name is spellt right! I was practicing and having trouble doing that till I realized it needed to be Caped. Also, if you plugged in your number before 3, refresh or your 90 +10 day won't open.

I really hope this helps and I can spread some pixie dust to everyone up this late booking! I'll be sending happy thoughts your way!

Now the question is do I pull an all nighter till 7 in an attempt to get the wishes dessert party as well, or call it a night and get up as early as I can.

Good night all! Happy ADR-ing!

Ok, sorry to highjack but we check in to BWV on 12/26. I cannot book my 90 plus 10 till tomorrow right (9/27)? I am so confused

This while online, waiting for the ADR system to awaken. Hoping to book 12/26 through 1/3... how many pots of coffee does everybody the system will take this morning???

How can you book for 12/26/09-1/3/10. Those start tomorrow? I Just tried to book, and it did not let me go past Christmas day with my reservation, and my reservation states that I am 91 days out!

No worries... it's all related! You're correct in that you have to wait until tomorrow... if by phone, 6 AM CST (7 AM EST). If by the online ADR system, well, it varies...LOL!

I was up at 2 AM CST this morning (checking Christmas day!), but gave up on the online ADR system because it wouldn't show me my "plus 10". Others at the same time were getting theirs to show up, but whatever... so I went back to bed just after 4 AM CST. I then set the alarm and got up again at 5:45 AM CST thinking I'd call in, but on a whim I tried the online system once more and got it all done just before 6 AM CST... Sometime before 5:45 AM CST and sometime after 4:00 AM CST the online ADR decided to work

But, on the good news front, we got our ressies!:

Saturday, 12/26, Hoop Dee Doo, 5 PM

Saturday, 1/2, Chef Mickey's, 8:50 AM

I assumed that they were checking in late on 12/25, but booking reservations for 12/26 and on. We rarely book ADRs for the day we check in.

I could be way off though, you know what happens to people who assume

 

[rockwellqz4]

I should have been more clear in that original post (is that even possible at 2 AM?! LOL!)...

We arrive on Christmas Day after 6:30 PM, so we waited until 12/26 to start using our dining plan credits. I seen (lots of times!) where I could have booked Tony's Town Square at 6:00 or 6:20 PM on Christmas Day!

So yes, 12/26 arrivals can start booking those ADR's tomorrow. Good luck, and sorry for the confusion!

Very eloquent, Tricia! Thanks. That's exactly what is happening in our case.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up as I tried to book as soon as I saw your post, and it still would not allow me to book past 12/25 as I am arriving on 12/26. I thought I missed something

I keep getting that message every time I try to look at certain restaurants for Christmas and I have been getting it for over a week (my ADR window oopened up on the 18th). I believe what is happening is that whatever restaurant you are trying to book, is full for that day. The reason I say that is because (even on the wee am hours I was trying to book my ADRs, I would get that message and move on to another restaurant for a different day, and it would work. I just now tried again and I'm still getting the message for Christmas Day for the restaurants I'm interested in. I can find availibility for other days though.

For those of you having a hard time with 90+10, it just may be the system. I was online @ 3AM on the 18th and was able to pull up my ressie and get the 90+ 10. I made some ADRs and for some reason, all of a sudden it wasn't working and i could not access my 90+10 the rest of the day. Thankfully I had to call to make my CP dinner ADR and I only had Christmas to book so I got it done with one call. Now I can't access the ADRs online that I made over the phone.

My number started with a 6 but had letters mixed in. I think the key is entering them all CAP. It didnt work when I didnt do that. This was booked via disney online.

I should have posted that one number in front followed by a couple of letters will work just not a mix of numbers and letters throughout. Her confirmation number started with 5BL and the rest of the numbers. AAA told us that they have not been able to book the 90+10 online themselves. They said it might have something to do with her booking direct through Disney and transfering it over to them. Thus keeping a Disney confirmation number vs a AAA one. I did capitalize the letters though.

Ug! I have the same problem this morning trying to book my NYE dinner. It will let me book a breakfast somewhere else. but NOT a dinner.

Just keep on trying if you get the system busy response. It also seems to help to check out with only 1 item in the cart. I had my 10 reservations in the cart and the system went down. When I tried to check out with the cart from another tab, I only got 4 of the reservations. I then kept on trying for the other ones, and seemed to have better luck with a single reservation at a time, but some of them (Chef Mickey's, Ohanas, Crystal Palace on NYE, CRT on NYE) kept crashing with only a single reservation in the cart. In the end, I got everything, it just took 75 minutes instead of the 10 minutes it took in a dry run.

 

[robinb]

I was only trying for one reservation! But it was for 8 people on NYE. I finally booked at San Angel but it wasn't my first choice.

 

[sgschurman]

How many people are booking on October 27th? I'm a little afraid!

 

[Boardwalk Tigger]

Can you only book 10 resservations online? Thank you

 

[Frances999]

AAAgghh! This is driving me crazy. I've managed to secure SOME of our reservations but the other restaurants keep giving this message! I'm constantly refreshing and nothing is working. Ugh. Any tips or do I just have to wait it out? Should I try a different computer/browser??

 

[Boardwalk Tigger]

The same thing happened to me. It wouldn't let me book New Years eve dinners and many other restaurants. Other restaurants were ok. Call in the Am . It is easier!

After fighting with the computer system last night while I was half asleep, I just called DVC Member Services and got Marrakesh at 7:30 on 12/31 for 8 people. Exactly what I wanted without getting up in the middle of the night and fighting with their horrible computer system. Live and learn, I guess.

 

[Broncobilly83]

I had to call yesterday to book Raglan Road for NYE dinner, the system was fine if I was booking 12/30 or 1/1, but 12/31 it was overloaded. THough calling, I still got what I wanted.

We went there last NYE and it was GREAT!!! They did an early countdown (around 7pm) with champagne toasts, noise makers, hats, etc all no charge. The meal was wonderful--except for the fact that kids want to celebrate at Chef Mickey's, I'd be back in a second this NYE. Enjoy--it was really great!
