Can someone explain what the deal is with trying to book at 3am? Is this 3am Eastern time?What is the supposed "official" opening time for online ressie's?? I'm so confused.
10/27 was my 90 day mark - so the change couldn't have been worse for me. Very frustrating. So I extended my trip by two days - called to reserve two nights at POP before checking in to BC Villas.
That means yesterday was my day, and the system opened a full ten days worth of reservations, although it probably shouldn't have. Thankfully I'm done with the ADRs on this trip, without worrying about tomorrow. (Actually, I still have an Olivia's and a Turf Club to book, but I could probably get those right up until I leave, or even just walk up.)
I will, but not at 3 am like a lot of others here. I don't need that many and only REALLY want Mama Melrose, 50's Cafe, and Kona breakfast. After the hoopla dies down, I might add Plaza, HOB gospel brunch (I want to see if they are doing anything special for Easter in the parks) and Saana (we are staying at Kidani so we are flexible) Good luck to everyone!
It's my 180 day mark! If I'd have known I might have put off our trip even one day so I didn't have to fight the mob LOL
This may be of little comfort, but I would guess that if you wait until the afternoon of the 27th, or even the morning of the 28th, you will be absolutely fine at 179 days. Including Le Cellier or CRT. (But if you take my advice and then CRT is full, I'm the horse's patoot. I just don't think it would happen.)
Maybe it's me, but I just don't think there are all that many WDW guests who will be making 180 day reservations tomorrow. Many haven't even scheduled their trip yet, many others don't even know about the change from 90 to 180, and still others just can't be bothered at this point.
Just as a test, I'll log on to the system tomorrow afternoon and see what I can find for April 25, or whatever the date is.
This is not to say that tomorrow isn't going to be really busy, because of all those folks for whom tomorrow is 90-110 days, many of whom *will* be trying tomorrow. The thing that can be of comfort to all of our April vacationers is that while those 90-110 day folks are clogging the system, they aren't competing for the seatings you want.
