Why can't i book dining for Jan/feb?

[aussiegirls]

Hi

I'm trying to book our dining online for end of Jan beginning of February but a lot of the places are showing that it's not available to book. It should be Available 60 days out shouldn't it?
I only managed to make 1 of our reservations. Every single other one is not available.
Anybody know what's going on?

What are you trying to book? I know Goofys Kitchen is having a refurb but everything else should be ok.

Goofys kitchen was one of them. How long is the refurb going, do you know?

Lately dining reservations have not been consistently available at 60 days out. For early October, they didn't come online until about 45 days out or so because management was trying to figure out park hours. That could play into the lack of availability you are seeing, but returns play a part too.

I would try checking again to see if things have changed. The site can be slow to update on the 60-day mark and especially around the start of a new month. I just looked and there was a fair amount of availability for many restaurants on Feb 7th, so hopefully that means the system is being updated (but things like Ariel's Grotto, PCH Grill, and some of the DTD venues are still showing no availability, which probably means they aren't in the system yet).
