Touring Plans res finder. Better chances if you pay?

i signed up for touring plans ($15) but immediately saw actually having a touring plan is not at all for us. It said I had 14 days to cancel, I emailed them and asked to cancel right away. I haven heard back yet. However, after emailing them that I want to cancel, I can’t get a single ADR. Prior to signing up, I was getting every single ADR I tried for when the text came in. Even the tough to get ones. Now that I asked to cancel, I can’t snag a single one it’s sooo weird. I’ll get a text after midnight, will be looking at my phone and on MDE and the res is always gone. I honestly can’t imagine someone being quicker every single time when I had no issues before. Do you think the text notification has been slowed down for me? Disney madness is seriously making me consider wild ADR conspiracy theories!

We’ve used the res finder many times. We get some and sometimes we don’t. We’ve never pay, but I think that sometimes you’ll have a lot of people who also set up the same alerts. So it might come down to how fast your text message/email and internet is.

i think its based on timing - around the 60, 45, 30, 15 day marks you'll see an increase in cancellations from people cancelling trip, making FPs, ADRs, etc. I haven't gotten any texts lately at all and I pay annually for touring plans.

I do not have a paid subscription and I just got the BOG lunch that I have been trying for weeks to get. And many many times I would get the alert, sign right on and still not get the reservation. I think it has more to do with your internet connection speed than anything.

I don't have a paid subscription and the reservation finder works fine for me. You do have to be very quick when you get the alert, but I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not you have a paid subscription.
