[sjms71]

Hey everyone finally 7:37a.m. and all ressies made. Didn't get Liberty Tree on thansgiving but knew it was a long shot. Got mostly every othr ressie. Glad the stress of that is over. Booked fantasmic DP on 11/30 but not happy with the dining time may have to change it when Dec. hrs come out. Have fun everyone and good luck!

How many times have you heard the train song now on hold?? It is up to 4 for me now

I had you beat. Was on hold for 46 minutes and it played every 5 mins I think!

Anyway, I got through finally and was on the phone and off in 3 minutes and booked Thanksgiving day just fine. Got what i wanted WCC at 8:05PM and San Angel for lunch. Did all my other ressies including Ohana and Le Cellier online this morning.

Good luck to you all**

Rats! I wanted a Fantasmic Pkg for TG...been on hold since 7 am, got through at 7:20 and the pkgs are all gone...And...the stupid on-line system is still down. I think I'm going off-site for TG now!

Fantasmic packages cannot be booked online they always have to be called in. Thanksgiving day online hasn't worked for over a week. A few restaurants came up but 90% of them you had to call in for for TG day

Got everything I wanted and ended up on hold for almost 45 minutes

I tried to tell about the online system not working and they would not believe it, said it was probably just my computer. Told them I know a whole bunch of people on the DIS are trying to book and having same problem and they were kinda speechless, but finally said it is probably just a few local problems ( I think NOT).

Good luck to you all still on hold

I did try to book this via phone...that's why I said I was on hold for 20 minutes...

I got through without a wait! Holy cow!!!
Guess that makes up for banging my head against the desk for 30 minutes trying to book online!

I only wanted 2 things - O'Hana for Thanksgiving night (booked for a 5 p.m.) and then Candlelight Processional - 6:45 showing. So we're good to go. Everything else with be CS as we are only staying Thanksgiving - Saturday than off to the Magic.

Hope everyone got what they wanted!

My 90+10 window opened last Sunday, 8/23, and I was able to book everything I wanted with pretty good times except for Thanksgiving. (Got the same "high volume" message) I called at 7:00am that day and was on hold for over 50 minutes and could get nothing for our first choice, BOMA. I got Whispering Canyon which was good too! However, always the planner, I really wanted our first choice... so...

I tried everyday this week to look at TG day and got the same message. Yesterday I saw on the Dis, got to love it, that several people had booked BOMA so I decided to give it another shot. Last night, tried online while I was on hold and AMAZINGLY, I was able to book TG at BOMA online!!! So we are set with ALL of our original choices!! Now on to obsessing about something else!

Just keep trying!!!

Sitting on hold right now, online system still not working for me and won't let me book beyond one day with a 10 day reservation...grrrr

I guess a lot of you are on hold with me right now which explains the 30 minute hold.

I had this problem at when I first tried to book online, but I had not entered my reservation number and "associated the reservation". Once I entered the ressie number, I was good to go with 90+10. You may already know this, but just thought I would offer...

 

[sjms71]

Has anyone figured out why those of us can't book past our 90 day mark and not 90+10? I still would like to play around with some different ressies but my resservation comes up just won't let me choose a date past 11/26. Not even sure who I would contact about this problem.

For the past 3 days I have been searching the online booking page for an earlier time for my Akershus breakfast. All 3 days, it comes back that "the system is experiencing high volume...". Then I look up another restaurant, and the booking system works. This message only appears when I try searching for Akershus. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[dcherry]

Been having the problem over a week now. Can't look up anything.

 

[princessmom29]

It has been doing that with certian more popular restaurants. most people are having to call to get those ressies.

 

[Javin917]

I'm having this problem with Narcoosees. If I search for a 5:30 ADR, I get the response that the system is busy. When I switch it to 5:45, there's one available and it lets me book it. I just assumed 5:30 was unavailable and there was a glitch that gave this response instead of the "no availability" one.

New to posting here on the baords, though I have been able to benefit from all your excellent posts over the past few years so THANK YOU ALL!!

Wanted to step out of the shadows as I also booked my ADR today for my family's Thanksgiving Disney Trip...

Was up at 5:30 eastern time to be online at 6:00 logged in about 5 of and also received the dreaded "System Experiencing High Volume" Messege... after panicking for the rest of the hour, I decided to call right at 7:00 am and to my shock and surprise I got through with no wait.. Got everything I wanted.... booked....

Chef Mickey's for Thanksgiving Night
Tutta Italiano
Boma
Le Cellier (2 nights)
50's Prime Time
Narcosses
and Chef Mickies & Donald's Safari Breakfasts!

I hope everyone else has the same luck I had... reading on here I am counting myself incredible lucky!!! BEST OF LUCK to everyone!!!

I am getting that same thing, their for ten nights onsite and can only see one day Nov 26th, like I was not a resort guest and just booking one day at a time

As i said before I brought it up to the call in people and got nowhere, they kept saying it is my computer acting up, even when I told them that several people were having the same problem.

Wish they would fix it so I could check on other ressies I might want later in my stay I did not book today.

I had the same "busy" message for T-Day online but was able to book all the rest of my adrs with no problems. I didn't have a problem with the plus 10 window. I had to call to get T-Day but I was only on hold for maybe 2 minutes. Booked Tony's for 4pm. After talking to DH, thought that 4pm might be pushing it since our plane doesn't land until noon. I just called back, no wait, and was able to change it to 7:15pm. CM was really nice and said that MK is packed on T-Day. Tony's was the only place with any openings.

 

[kangaroodle]

It's been a pain in my side for 3 days now! I get the same message for any restaurant in Epcot. Finally broke down and called WDW-DINE today, got right through and booked the Biergarten for Thanksgiving dinner. I strongly suggest calling...............

 

[gallagher35]

Same thing here for last few days but only if I put in 10am or 5pm -- if I switch the time to 8am or 6pm or some other number then the system would do the search -- odd right

 

[YourMajesty]

So who got a LTT via phone this morning for Thanksgiving? I was through right at 7am...all they had was an 8:55pm. I did not take it. Lunch was full. I booked Ohana. Just curious how many ADR's were still available for LTT with the 90 + 10 in place?
