Why can't I book Plaza Inn breakfast in Oct ?

[Sandan77]

I am at the 60 day mark and no times appear to be available - looking at breakfast 16 Oct.
there appears to be nothing avail in Oct - is this normal?

Also looking at WOC dessert package and once again nothing in Oct !

I believe I saw reports that others have been unable to book. They have not loaded the times into their system yet. I think they're having a hard time committing on park hours, which is causing issues for the in park ADRs.

Oh ok , hope they pull their fingers out soon - I have plans to make !! Thanks for the heads up

Last year had the same issue wat our trip in october. The word was it was beacuse the Halloween Parties. In the end we where able to book 30 days out.

I am going October 2-6 and am still patiently waiting for WoC dining packages and I know others are waiting on Plaza Inn. Hopefully they are loaded in soon!

Oh! Good to know I'm not the only one who can't make Plaza reservations! I have to wait a few days to book Ariel's Grotto, but Plaza is more important in my family book. We were a lil worried.

I wish they would commit soon on park hours - I am one of those people who like to plan months out. They don't even have all of September posted yet!

I posted on the October thread as well. The posters above are correct about the park hours and crowd management in October causing the reservation delays (same issues last year). It's affecting Carthay, Ariel's and Wine Country Trattoria regular dinner reservations too. We have a Plaza, WCT and WOC Dessert Party pending so I know the "get it booked now" desire. We will have to wait for the October times to finalize and then book. I'd keep checking daily as they could resolve things any day, but don't obsess too much as it's likely we will all get our first choices regardless of when it opens.

Good luck to all and may everyone have a fun filled October and Fall Break!

MHP October 12th

What I don't get is that this is JUST 60 days out and they can't get it right. You're Disney! You can forecast crowds in 2019 but can't post hours in October. Seems like such a reactionary management method.

You could also look at it on the flip side...if they wait until they've firmed up the schedule before allowing ADRs to be made, it means it's less likely that they have to call folks and cancel/re-book their reservations if, for some reason, things change.

Good point figment...Like the lesson learned in WDW with the MSEP dinner packages that they have to cancel. I bet they're are 100's or even 1000's booked over the next 180 days for that event that is ending in October.

We'll be in the parks Oct 1st through 5th. I have all our ADR's complete except for the Plaza Inn CB.
I find it odd I can make reservations for a breakfast at the Carnation Cafe any of those days at 8:10 am.
That leads me to believe the parks will open at 8am.

Checking the website every morning is now part of my daily routine.....
I'll be glad when Plaza Inn's hours for CB's are posted.

Check the app, too. I was unable to make our PS reservation for BB via the website (no availability), but had no problem doing so using the app (lots of availability).

Not able to book on the app either. I just called and was told they too are checking each day.

I tried online and the app then called and was told the same. Park hours aren't set so try back daily

 

[jammyjam25]

Park hours are now posted through September 30 on the DL site....inching closer to those reservations hopefully opening up every day!

FWIW I'm waiting on WOC dining at aerials grotto. Impatiently waiting to see if they hit at the 30 day mark
