Ughh.. My ADR's.. What a Nightmare!!

[Leshaface]

I love the new online reservation system. So far I have gotten every restaurant I wanted. All reasonably close to the times I wanted. Two days ago Crystal Palace was not available for dinner, but I went in very early (3AM) this morning and there was crystal palace for 8 people
It is so much easier, and cheaper, than calling everyday and waiting a half hour to get a CM on the line.

You were able to access online reservations? Were you able to get online at 3am et?

I still cannot get the online system to go past my arrival day. I even went step by step with a techy person at Disney, and they can't figure out why it is happening. It is so frustrating. I was able to get some of the reservations by phone, but I would love to be able to tweek them, and it just won't do it. I wish i could figure out why.

Keep calling. I called yesterday and was told that many places (including Tony's, Plaza & 50's Prime Time) were not yet loaded.

Disuser- Must be nice. Guess it works for some people.

Don't worry about it. The great news is you can call back or go online everyday to see if what you want opens up. Even though the prospect of calling for ADR's every day seems daunting it takes 5 minutes. When we went this past May I had to change my ressies a few times and through diligence I got exactly what I wanted. As Tim Allen once said " Never Give Up, Never Surrender". Good Luck

We love love love the SCi Fi.

I agree....When I first made my ADRs I didn't get everything I wanted or the times that I wanted, but I kept calling and checking online and was able to get what I want at decent times, plus I got others that I was not planning on getting but thought would be good. Now I am set and very happy with our dining plans....Good luck, don't give up, as your trip gets closer some restaurants may open up because people seem to hold onto ADRs until they can find something else . Here is some for you.

I don't know if/how many they hold out from Disney inventory, but I've had better luck with booking Raglan Road directly too. You can make the reservation on OpenTable.com via the link from the restaurant's own website. http://www.opentable.com/rest_profile.aspx?rid=8023

Can you book through Open Table and still use the Disney Dining Plan?

And thanks everyone for all your words of encouragement.. I've stayed in Disney in Jan before and have never had problems! Last year in Jan we booked some about a month before we got there and managed to get more the day we checked in.... Hopefully it won't be really crazy there.. I'm not used to the crowds!

This is making me really nervous, especially since it all goes back to 180 days this month. Oh well we will get something I am sure!

I am central time and it was probably a bit before 3 AM. I am staying off property this trip so I have to go in every day to make reservations. I have made 3 days of reservations so far with no problem.

Oh! Ok, that's different. I am able to make daily reservations. But, I am staying on site, and should have the 90 + 10 reservations. That is what I am not getting. So, for all you know, the website isn't working right for you either!

No No..it is fine. I just may have all my reservations done before you.
