What time do Dining Reservations open on-line?

[Geoff_M]

Hello, long-time WDW vet, first time (well, fist time since 1994) DL visitor... I know that DL dining reservations open up at "60 days out", but is there a time of day that the window opens for Day 60? I got on this morning at 5 AM PST to make my first reservation at T+60 days and found that the pickings were slim. I recall that park reservations don't open up until 6 AM PST (?) when I tried for those when the window opened, so I was a bit surprised when I tried to dining today and it appears that I missed the starting gun today.

short version, last few days they opened around 8am central, or 6am pacific.

3am pacific is when you want start looking for reservations drops. They don’t always release every location on an exact time schedule.

When I was making reservations for 3/14 -3/17 several days ago, they opened at 6:00 a.m. east, 3:00 Pac, which was consistent with what I had read. Several of the restaurants booked up completely within a few minutes. From the thread above, sounds like it's moved 3 hours later but I have no idea if permanent or not. That would be a more civilized time but being on the east coast, I felt an advantage because those on the west coast would really have to be committed to do 3:00 a.m. Pac.

For the last 8 days, reservations opened at 5am central. Today seems to be a different story and the system is giving me a We're sorry, there is a problem searching for reservations at this time error message which is extremely annoying since I could still be sleeping.

Glad to hear that I'm not alone. I started at 2:50 AM PST and each Search Times has gotten me a "No availability" or a periodic "There is a problem" response.

Looks like things went live for 3/27 at 6 AM PST today. Got what I was after.

Getting ADRs at Disneyland is a complete joke. We don't even try anymore. Sometimes they appear. Then for months at a time, certain restaurants won't show up at all. It's already a mess being at 60 days out. But the fact they can't get their stuff together makes the whole process dumb.
