Seriously I keep getting Donald! Trying for bog and seeing plenty but he keeps telling me server issues

I'm trying for somewhat less popular place, Tusker House and I get that same dumb Donald!


I went through the old site and got my first night ADR at Ohana but can't get anything else since that site does not recognize my 180+10 capabilities.

Apparently everyone AND their mother is on the site. I kept refreshing and it took me to my 'party' page but back to Donald as I tried to continue. I'm just hitting the refresh button for now.

I'm trying to my ADR's as well. Got my arrival day reservation, but after that I got angry Donald. I'm going back to bed and will try again this afternoon. I don't have too many restaurants that I feel I won't get into if I don't get it booked this second, if any at all. Uggghhh. Oh well.

The Refresh button is your best friend - use it! I did and got the rest of my ADRs Now I'm going back to bed! Good night/morning!

I feel like I am refreshing a bajillion times! Got some of my hard ones!! CRT and CP @ 8:05 on different days. BOG! A 8 am at H&V (2 kids under 3)

We try for our ADR's Monday morning -had heard the site was working well awhile ago, now wondering if we should just call

Yup, I was so happy I had no problems getting Ohana. The whole no 'Free Dining' really frees up ADRs. Last year I went in September and Ohana had NOTHING at my 180 date.

Way to go on CRT and BOG! We are probably doing BOG as a CS this trip. Maybe a TS for a 2015 if we like it.

Awesome! I am debating on Ohana. Everyone says how it has gone downhill, but we have never been

I went to Ohana for the first time in September and I loved the food. The dessert alone was almost worth the price for dinner. I love that its all you care to eat but they bring the food to you!

I booked one for 5:30, as it gets closer I can get everyone to agree to certain places. I got BBB for my daughter so now I am set until the dessert party . Seriously this was awesome in getting everything

 

[oneprincessjo]

Ok. Got impatient and called in my ADR's. Got everything I wanted!! Woo Hoo!!

 

[kimj88]

Gave up online and called at 7....got everything I wanted....YAY!!! Had to hide to call so kids wouldn't here (surprise trip)

Since online is avail one hr prior to call-in as you mentioned - figure will try online first but have ADR call number on speed dial just in case. Thanks disney-inspired

We go every January. In the past few years even with Free Dining or S/P/D promo we've never had a problem getting any reservation we've wanted. We have had to switch a few days around for a few but always booked what we want.

I haven't been able to get a BoG, however, I got one for the trip we just canceled about three weeks ago, so I'm just going to be persistent. I did get a Garden Grill Candlelight Processional for Dec. 30th though, so I'll take it. Also, since we'll be in Baton Rouge and have to fly in and out of NOLA for Southwest's amazing prices, it looks like we're adding a day on the front end. However, we'll be arriving at 10 PM, so we'll go to bed and wake up bright and early to get our vacation started. Oh, and we decided to stay at the Wilderness Lodge since the Christmas decorations will still be up. However, watch out June: Contemporary in the Tower, baby!!!!!

Tried to get BOG online during our AbD in Germany last week, to no avail. Called when we got home and BINGO! So happy. Only ADR we really "wanted". We already have our Grand Floridian Afternoon tea - our arrival day tradition - and Il Mulino for Saturday after mass.

Only other we will make is Wishes Dessert Party. I was told we had to wait about a month out for those. Is that correct?

We usually wait until we arrive to decide on any other reservations.

I would start checking at 90 days out. If you wait for a month, you might not find any availability. I've gotten ours at about 60 days out, but I have heard that they sometimes release space farther out.
