Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[kimyinpink]

What do I need to do tonight to prepare? Should I practice making a reservation just to make sure my saved card and everything is working?

I would, it will give you a good idea on the process. And make sure your info autofills!

I was curious about how that works. Since the park tickets r linked with the FD reservation I didn't know if the RO will open up all the dates or not. ????

I have a split stay booked. Yesterday, I was only able to book ADRs until the checkout day of my first, room only, stay (11/23 - 11/26). Hope you all are able to book everything at once, but just wanted to let you know how it worked for me.

Man, that's not how it's supposed to work from what I've read! Bummer :/

Dang! And u had both reservations linked in MDE I'm sure!

I just did the online chat and spoke to a CM (you know how reliable their information is). They said "Your 180 day window starts with each check in date" So tomorrow we could book for the 25th but won't be able to do the 26th onward until Monday. Bummer. I'm sure I will still try tomorrow but it looks doubtful.

That is a really dumb policy. If I'm onsite and checking in on the 25th why should I not also get the +10? Makes zero sense!

I'm not even needing ADRs for the 25th

Like you (I think it was you?) I was also able to book for my entire trip last year when my first booking window opened up of my split stay. However, I've since heard that was somewhat of a fluke and it isn't really supposed to work that way. I'll be pleasantly surprised for all of you if you are able to book for your entire trip tomorrow!

 

[kimyinpink]

I didn't think it would work either, but it did for me last year. We had a two night room only, followed by a three night dining plan package, and I was able to book all my reservations at the same time. I was a bit flustered since I wasn't expecting that. I'm going to have everything written out ready to go tomorrow, just in case!

When did you go last year? Have been doing a lot of reading on split stay dining and how the system changed but it still seems if that is the case you shouldn't have been able to book everything in one swoop last year.

 

[Meeko5]

Well damn, way to burst my bubble guys

I'm glad you all chimed in, id have been really upset if I wasn't able to do it tomorrow and didn't even realize they changed it. I'll probably still wake up at 6 and try, but I'm not hopeful.

Yes. Another thing many of you have probably read elsewhere, I had to refresh my page a few times when trying to make dining reservations because my +10 dates weren't showing at first. Even though I have everything linked and I was already logged in. I was able to get the reservations I wanted, but with crashes, etc. it wasn't as easy as it usually is.

Today's a fine day for my coffee pot to quit working!!

 

[kimyinpink]

It opened up the 25 and 26 for me but damn if it doesn't crap out when I try to book. Grrrrrrrr.

 

[heath92681]

It's eaten every single reservation. And I can only access the 26.

 

[Meeko5]

Well the website wouldn't let me do more than 11/25, but the app let me book 11/26 too. So there's that?

But yeah I'll be up at 6am again tomorrow!

Eta - I've booked several just to try, keep trying! It's working for me.

 

[kimyinpink]

I want to cry I am watching my reservation time get further and further away trying to get Fantasmic package. Why won't it work? Have tried 3 browsers phone iPad and laptop.

 

[heath92681]

It's letting you past the 26?? How?!

Me too

 

[Meeko5]

I'm sorry guys

I'm on the app and it's working fine. But the website is being weird. As usual.

Sure wish I could book past the 26th

 

[heath92681]

I could get Hollywood and Vine on the app but not Fantasmic.
