This seems unusal--but I got every single ADR for Nov 6-13 trip

[GeneralTso]

After reading about all the issues securing reservations at BOG and Cinderella's Table, I was expecting some drama. Zero.

I had my choice of times for both for multiple days. Is this unusual? I just logged on this afternoon because I realized I missed my "window" to start booking by a few days. Everything was available, it felt kind of weird.

Anyone else experiencing this? Just dumb luck? Slow time?

Thanks for posting this! My ADR day for my Nov 7-12 trip opens tomorrow so this is encouraging. I'm hoping for CRT & BOG- I hope I have the same luck!

We have always gotten every reservation we have wanted for every trip we have taken. It is not unusual.

That is great. We are still trying to get dinner BOG reservations for Oct. Right now they are only open 4-6 on Halloween party days, so I think that is part of the problem. There is one other reservation that I am trying to move to an earlier time, but other than that we did get most of what we wanted.

That is great! But your window would have opened today for nov 6th. I arrive 11/5 and my window opened yesterday. Or do you mean you missed it by a few hours? I also had zero issues getting everything we needed at 6am yesterday! I was very nervous, as I played around with the site beforehand and there was no availability at many of the restaurants. I was able to get CRT breakfast, BOG lunch and BOG dinner, 50's PT dinner, Yak & Yeti dinner, 1900 PF dinner, Kona breakfast, GFC breakfast and Hoop Dee Doo Revue. So happy that I don't have to stalk for any cancellations and openings!

So encouraging to hear this! My window opens on Thursday and I'm so worried I'm not going to be successful at getting BOG dinner,CRT and CP early breakfast! I also have a few others we'd like that are tougher to get but these 3 are most important! I read about so many people not getting their ressies and it's so discouraging!!

Our window opens on Saturday. My son is going to have to make ADRs after he gets home from work around 10 EST. We do not want CRT or BOG but lately I have been hearing that Via Napoli was close to impossible to get and that is his top choice.

Congradulations on getting everything you wanted.

The system worked perfectly for my husband this morning, but I was unable to search for anything beyond 180th day. Luckily we were both logged in & authorized to make plans. We booked everything we wanted including CRT dinner & 2 BOG lunches. The only BOG dinners available on our days were at 9:30 which is too late for us. I'm just happy we'll be able to eat in the castle-it's a first for us!

What is the exact time things are available. My window will open up on the 16 th. Is it at 6 am on the 16 th or midnight on the 15 th.

Congrats on getting the ADRs you wanted!! Did you both log into the same account or do you each have your own?

It will be 6am EST for online, phones at 7am. Good luck!

Jealous! The one ADR I REALLY wanted I didn't even get close to the time I wanted. I wanted Sanaa for DS6's birthday dinner on arrival day (Also November 6th) and got 2:30 I just don't think having a fancy cake at 3:00 after lunch will be as exciting...

 

[ReginaPhalange*]

We both have our own accounts but mine still isn't working, even though the hotel package was booked through my account.

Has anyone been able to get beaches and cream? I was looking at November 8th and 11th for lunch, logged in first thing yesterday and no availability (party of 2) called and the woman said she had no availability those days from opening to close. This seems suspicious...

Same here - pleasantly suprised esp with F&W and Free Dining promotions around. Only one Im having problems getting is Rainforest which is odd.

I've heard people say that if you call the Rainforest Cafe directly there's often more availability than through Disney because it isn't a Disney restaurant. Good luck!!

 

[ErinsMommy]

I did call a short while ago...they had availability at DTD. So I grabbed it. So excited!! =)

I logged in literally a day late. I forgot about it the day I was supposed to log in and do it. I am happy to read others had no issues either.
Nice when the system actually works and it's not a 5 alarm fire.

We are going to be there the week after you and I'm so nervous about getting a BOG lunch reservation (it's the only thing my MIL has asked to do this trip), that I had a dream about it last night. I can't wait to get them over with, so I can stop dreaming about it
