Weird ADR availability?

[Colleen27]

I'm just starting to make ADRs for our Nov dates (don't mind the sig, I just haven't changed it yet) and for our Epcot day restaurant availability is really weird... Nothing other than Akershus is showing any dinner availability before 6pm at exactly 180 out? In fact, when I input 4pm to try to get earlier times about half the restaurants show nothing at all available between 2 and 6, and what does come up are for exactly 6pm no the dot.

The Candlelight Processional doesn't start that early in the month - we're going Nov 4 to 11 - and it isn't a peak time of year. So what is going on with early evening availability?

Hmmm, looks like maybe something to do with Food & Wine festival? It is disappointing because I really wanted Le Cellier for dinner but not so late that we'd miss Illuminations, but I'll keep watching.

I think the system is having some type of issues (it seems like there have been a lot of glitches lately). The restaurants open before 6 pm (at least they have in the past and still do in September). Keep trying and eventually the system will get sorted out (hopefully)!

The system is definitely out of whack. Yesterday it told me I had no reservations at all. Even when I tried to retrieve my reservations it said I had none Scared me for a minute but it was just a glitch. This morning all is well again.

Keep trying and good luck!!!

I've been having the same problem. I was wanting Via Napoli on November 4 for 5pm. They are listed as opening for dinner at 4:30pm and I was booking 186 days out and nothing would come up earlier than 6:20pm. When I asked it to show me all Epcot restaurants I noticed most of them didn't have anything early. I knew there was no way they were actually booked for such an early time so far in advance. I figured it was a glitch in the system or they were waiting to firm up F&W schedules before releasing the tables into the system. I just keep checking (which is a real pain) and hope they get it fixed soon.
