What option do you find better?

if that makes a difference at all. Is it better to put a specific time for a reservation or just click on ‘lunch’ or ‘dinner’? Wondering if that might make any difference since I just can’t get anything to pull up. Wondering if others have had luck any certain way.
 
if you want more time specific, click on a time and it'll show you either that specific time or times around it, if you dont care when, click on breakfast. ive had luck both ways.
 
If you are flexible and looking for something like BOG, your best bet is a general lunch or dinner search.
 
I've had more luck with entering specific times. It will search for a span of time around what you put in. I usually put in off times, like 8:30pm for dinner, 10:45am or 2pm for lunch. Snagged a CRT and BOG ADR, as well as pre-opening CP with that method. Good luck.
 

I have found more and better times using exact times... it will still give you all the times within a two hour range. I found two pre-park opening breakfasts that weren't showing under "breakfast" but were showing at 8:00 am.
 
I find that it depends on the day. Sometimes one thing works better than another. Right now I am just grabbing whatever is available and then I'll be changing if a better time comes up. This was a lesson learned on the last trip when I struggled to get places we wanted. They became available eventually but I stressed about it. Now I am not stressing - just getting something we like and then adjusting if something better comes along.

I guess I should have been more specific. If you are looking for an ADR at a restaurant that is already booked solid, as BOG usually is, then it is better to search for generic lunch or dinner, as the system will pull up any available ADRs if someone has cancelled. If you are searching a restaurant that isn't already booked, select the time you'd like, otherwise the system seems designed to pull up less popular times.
 
I like doing the lunch or dinner option since it should pick anything up. As long as you aren't tied to a specific time :)
