Who got a BoG ADR?

[dancin Disney style]

Post em.....

Who got up at 6am to deal with the VERY frustrating site that didn't really work all that well....and still isn't?

I currently have 6 tables for 1 all reserved for the same day. I only got 1 email confirmation so I may or may not actually have these ADR's. As you can imagine I don't really NEED 6 tables for 1. I'm keeping 2 for my DD and myself. I have friends that are now considering taking the other ADR's and joining us for lunch.

BTW, isn't it funny that I had little trouble getting tables for 1 but couldn't get a table for 2. So stupid.

Me me me!! I manages to get one for May 13th for a party of 4 after a LOT of trying all day long! Haven't tried BOG ever yet so very excited!!

I got one about an hour ago for March 18 after trying since 6am this morning!

We're going on the 18th as well!!!!

I should have mentioned that I got the error message all morning long and thought that I did not get an ADR....I actually gave up and walked away. Discovered this afternoon that I had all these ressies on MDE. There is a fair bit of disussion about it on other threads and people are kind of feeling like these are all errors and will disappear just like they appeared. I've taken screen shots so I'm showing up expecting to get in.

Got up at 5:50am. Phoned at 7:00, only to be told by CM on phone that all reservations must be gone (really? no August reservations left at all???). So, after trying all day (while at work), I finally got an ADR for August 21st, exactly what I wanted! Plus, there were a ton of reservations all month. Crazy day! Doing the 'happy dance' now though

No... the system was overloaded and went down by about 6:15ish this morning. There are dozens of reports from other Dis'ers of this after they got through on the phone.

Yep, frustrating phone call. I mean, what are the chances that every reservation in August is gone by 7:00am? I felt sorry for CM's on phone lines this morning, but I knew that they couldn't all be gone! I logged in about 5:55am and saw a bunch of times for the dates I wanted but by the time I got to the final page for reserving, it was gone:-( Thank goodness that's over

Don't panic..they will open up.
Trust me

Got ours for March & Aug about 3:00pm. Everything magically opened up after trying without success since 6:00am.

I tried ALL day long and finally got ours this evening. First reservation ever and first time at BoG. I'm SO excited. Thanks everyone for keeping all updated about the status today. I was calling and trying all day online!

I was surprised that there was so many availabilities at 4pm for July 25th. I chose 12:45pm but everything was still available (for 6).

I was on hold on the phone for half an hour this morning. We're at WDW now. Gave up and went to MK. This afternoon I asked the concierge to try. I wanted it for Friday. He did his very best not to laugh in my face, but a teeny smirk still snuck through. I don't know who was more surprised, him or me, when he got exactly what I asked for!

I got up at 4:45 central to be ready at 5:00am. Just for the sake of trying, I tried at 4:45 am. I got the reservation for 8 at the time I wanted through the MDE app on 4/20. It didn't show up in my plans so I kept doing it. I ended up with 5 ressies all between 12:45-1:30. Once, I got through to Disney on the phone at noon and confirmed they were all real, I cancelled the other four.

FYI I have heard they opened it up at 2am

I tried about 5:50, and it was already up. I got a lunch reservation on my first try. I decided to try for a later time and it timed out, but MDE had both listed. I got an email for one but not the other. This happened to me earlier in the week when I did two in fast succession, so I'm just screenshotting MDE.

Later, I was able to snag a dinner for our first night - I'd been trying form weeks, so I'm guessing someone else switched for lunch.

Just letting everyone know, I went on the Dining Reservation thread here on the DISboards and coordinated with a lady from Texas who was cancelling her BOG reservation on a day that worked for us and was able to get it at just under 30 days out from our trip.

I got one for July 1, 11:25 lunch for a party of 6 about 5 minutes ago, first time I've tried, lol.
