When do more reservations get added?

[wddub2015]

My next trip is planned for November 2015 during free dining and reservations are hard to come by! I had made plans at my 180 days but some have changed already and there are a few different reservations that I'd like to get. I keep checking daily and have noticed that sometimes blocks of reservations are released, but I haven't been able to figure out a pattern or find anything online about it. Is there a certain day of week, time of day, etc. that these blocks of reservations get loaded?

According to Disney they don't hold back reservations so it's anyones guess - what I do suggest is at your 60 day mark when you can make fast passes is when people drop reservations as they concrete plans and parks -- also at 45 days when balances should be paid off more reservations can get dropped - and any time from 45 days to the day of your trip.

Disney doesn't hold back any reservations when they are first loaded into the system. However, they may increase staffing at the restaurant once they see how busy it will during a particular time. With increased staffing they will add reservations, but there is no specific time when this occurs. You will just have to keep checking online regularly. There is also the cancellation thread for November that you can subscribe to, but read the rules in the first post:

Yes, this is exactly it. Disney adds more staff and, in the case of BOG at dinner, they'll decide to open the gallery for seating. Don't rely solely on the Dis to update you as sometimes Disney will only release more times for a single day or just a few days in a single month. They did this back in June several times, as well as a big release that was discussed here.

Keep checking daily. You'll get what you want if you do. Wait till the last minute and your sunk...or maybe walk in lucky.

I'm hoping for more CRT times to open. I check several times a day but keeping my fingers crossed that some are added or was dropped so I can get one.

Keep checking. A CM told me that they see some openings at three days out. ANd sure enough, one that I was trying with no success to get opened three days before the day I wanted.

I hope so....getting reservations has never been so stressful

I thought the week before thanksgiving was suppose to be less crowded.... I'm wondering!

I don't think they hold back but sometimes they increase capacity (such as opening extra seating at BOG). Sorry, no rhyme or reason to when they might do this.

As other have said, keep checking. There's no set day/time to have a better chance of finding what you want as things can become available at any time .

As Nancyg56 posted, keep checking! I always make ADRs at 180 days, but I also sometimes tweak them as late as a month or a few weeks out and have always gotten exactly what I wanted, so things can/do change .

Keep checking as you never know when something will be become available .

When are you trying to get CRT for? We used Disney Scout and found it that way

I'm going the week before Thanksgiving too. At 180 days, I got everything we wanted. Just not exact times. I keep checking. I have been able to tweak some. Just got an 8:40 Garden Grill for 11/17 today.

I have been trying to get an Ohana ADR for Oct 4th for weeks. I check all day everyday! I never go to Disney without eating at Ohana, and I even paid to have DDB watch for me. This has been the worst by far trying to get an adr. I usually book within 6 months of the trip, but this was a last minute deal. I was hoping to stay at an Epcot resort too and those are booked solid. Heck, even the standard rooms for Oct 2016 are booked as well for the days that I checked. Ridiculous!
