Looks like I missed it by 45 minutes...we were looking for Jan 5th as well I'm surprised I didn't get any alerts from our space 220 dining finder...I would have thought that some people might have switched from the restaurant to the lounge when it opened up. Back to patiently waiting I guess.
In what way is the Lounge different from the Restaurant? After being shut out yesterday at my 60 day opening, I was able to get Lounge today, but I'm not clear on what to expect.
It’s pretty much the same as the restaurant - just elevated a bit and doesn’t have tables right next to the windows. You can order from either the lounge menu or the prix fixe so I think these reservations are going to be even more popular than the ones for the restaurant.
I'm good with the lounge menu, we have our Candlelight Processional lunch at 1pm. So by 8 we will want something to nosh on. But I am really hoping they will let me order that sticky toffee dessert!
Just wanted to get up there to check it out. Didn't expect it to be this trip.
I was a couple hours late and could t get exactly what we wanted, but after about 25 mi it’s of constant refreshing on the side while shopping(my fingers hurt now) I was able to secure a 2person ressie on on account and a second 2person on another 10 min apart might have to split up but at least they can do it now if they want, thanks for posting!

I think so too. I had resigned myself to the standby line for the lounge, so when I read these ADRs had opened up I jumped on it. I really like that we'll have the option of eating the bar menu or the prix fixe lunch - at least I hope we'll have that choice. Unfortunately, it wouldn't suprise me if Disney (or the Patina Restaurant Group) closed that loophole and made those seats bar menu only - or even converted them to the regular restaurant prix fixe menu only!
My husband thinks I'm the most amazing wife ever for scoring a res for his top choice restaurant. Good gracious I love these boards!
And personally, I'm hoping they don't change the lounge to the fixed price menu. I'm excited about getting to ride the elevator for a less expensive price

If it makes you feel better, I started writing my reply almost as soon as this was posted but forgot to release it, so it wasn't that close of a window, I just really got lucky, logged onto the Disboards just before noon and made the call within a few minutes. I actually booked them at 12:16 to be exact is when the confirm hit my email.
Hoping the same thing so please report back if that is possible. I don't go until June so great chance things change by then but would LOVE to check the place out even though we have food plans elsewhere.
We will be there from 1/29 - 2/3. Was trying to get 2/1 but it says "There are no schedules available for the date selected." Does this mean that reservations for the 1st won't open until tomorrow morning?
if I check the lounge for 2/1 now, it says there are no reservations available. 30 day reservations are open starting 2/2 for today. the app is acting weird but it doesn't say there are no schedules available.
