Were you able to get your November reservations?

[It's A Happy Day]

I had no problems at 5:00 am today. However, Crystal Palace was already booked until 9:40 for my last day of the trip. That part sucks

Keep checking.... I'm sure it will open up as people alter their own reservations.

This post is really bumming me out. My window opens tomorrow morning and I'll be upset if I can't get any of the ressies I was hoping for. There is definitely something wrong with this process.

The last two years we've gone in March/April. At the 180 day mark, I sailed right through and got all the reservations we wanted, including the dinner shows and BOG. This year was a complete headache is it because of the free dining offer or is this the norm for November? I'm a little bummed if it is due to free dining since we don't qualify, are paying full price and can't get some of our most wanted reservations

Whatever we get, we're spending almost two weeks in Disney and that's really all that matters!!!

I'm really wondering why so many people having so many issues. Could it be the browser being used? Are people using Explorer, Firefox or Chrome? I used Chrome and had no problems at all.

I used Safari on my iPad. I was locked out from 6:00 till 6:45 am on 5/13, but I think that was the day they did an upgrade.

I had no issues except for BOG, which I got 3 days later.

I'm starting to get upset. I haven't been able to make a single reservation online since my 180 opened. All by phone.
Tech support is "looking into it" and to check back in a few days.
I'm mostly concerned about booking FPs come time.

I used Chrome last week and had no problems. I wasn't online first thing (or even the first day) but got everything I wanted. Though I wasn't aiming for BOG or CRT.
Today I just added Tusker House for lunch too.

I'm on safari. I haven't had the need or desire to load Chrome or Firefox but maybe I'll have to

Thing is, it's not working from my iPhone (the App) either.

Computer - Windows 8 IE and everything functioned as you'd expect.

I was not able to get BOG during the week we're there. The only available times were on 11/23 which is the day we fly out.

We got everything else we wanted. A few times were slightly off what we'd prefer, but typically by no more than 45 minutes to an hour. We can make that work!

Got: 50's, Tusker, Boma, Crystal Palace, Hollywood & Vine, 1900

I don't think it has anything to do with the browser. I have tried to make reservations on four different computers, both Apple and PC. I have tried Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Safari - all with no luck. Also, no luck on my Ipad or phone. The issue seems to be with people that make their reservations during the DV FD offer. That is when I made my reservation and I can't book anything online except the first day. I have to call to get reservations. I have seen several posts from people that booked during the DV FD offer and they have had the same problems with online booking.

Try not to stress out too much. Just have a plan in place. Try for your most popular restaurant choices during the last days of your trip. When I booked yesterday, I had to go 8 or 9 days out to get BOG. CRT and Ohana can be tough too. Good luck!!

 

[momofmaz]

Yep! my 180 opened today and couldn't get BOG for our desired day. But got everything else including CRT and Chief Mickeys.

 

[jezebel73]

My ADR day was Monday and I could see all the available times, but was not able to book anything on 4 different browsers on 3 different devices. Called at 7, waited on hold for 90 minutes and had to hang up to drive to work (ugh) and called again from work and waited an hour. By then it was nearly 10 am and I still got everything I wanted at the times I wanted except for BOG and the dessert party. What was surprising to me was that at 6 am online, BOG had no availability on the 8th day of our trip already!!

In the end, I was able to snag 'Ohana that day instead, so I am going to try for BOG lunch and keep my fingers crossed for a dessert opening. I have 6 months for the magic to happen

My 180 was yesterday. I was logged on and ready to go at 6am. While I wasn't interested in the mentioned hot button ressies, I was able to get everything I wanted and was done in 15 minutes. I got a 2:35 tea at the Grand Floridian, Hoop De Do, Via Napoli, Yachtsman, California Grill, all dinner times within a 6-7pm time frame. I was strictly on line, MY MDE...worked great! Just thought I'd share that I had no problems. Again, I acknowledge that I wasn't trying to get BOG or Crystal but I was happy that on line worked, v.s. having to wait on hold.

Today was my 180 day. No luck online due to having two reservation numbers-rented points from a DVC owner for BLT and I had one reservation for first night and another for the remaining six nights. Anyway first time I called CM said she could only book November 17th and 18th based on the first reservation. Called back in about 30 minutes and got a fabulous CM who said she could book the whole week with no problem!

Got:

Sci-Fi Diner (lunch)
Coral Reef (lunch)
Raglan Road (lunch)
Chef Mickey's (breakfast)
Tusker House (breakfast)
Ohana (dinner)
Be Our Guest (dinner)
CRT (breakfast)

So now we wait to make fastpass selections!

I had no problem getting my reservations online this morning right at 6. Hopefully the problems have been resolved?

They have for me. I can book my remaining +10 days now

I still cannot make online 180+10 reservations; I just called IT support and was told by a very rude agent that 180+10 dining reservations cannot be made online and have not been available online for 1.5 years... When I told her I made it online for this upcoming June she insisted it was not available online!
Very frustrating!

That is baloney, I made them online via MDE with NO problem on May 6th. Well, 180+7.

For the first time since my 180 period opened on Monday, I am finally able to make reservations online! I didn't get help from Disney (they denied knowing of any problem), it just started working. Of course, I have missed several times that I wanted by having to sit on hold forever trying to make phone reservations, but at least the online system appears to be working now. I hope they have fixed whatever problem so many of us were having.
