why can't I get Sanaa for dinner?

[petbren]

I have been trying every day(on line) since my 90 day mark to get Sanaa for dinner Oct.25-Nov. 2 for 4, and there is no availablility at all
I could get the difficult L'C and CM, but nothing for Sanaa but lunch
I just can't beleive it and am wondering if anyone else is having a problem booking this for dinner.
I guess I will have to break down and call.

Perhaps since it is a new place they are holding back some inventory of tables this far out. I wouldn't sweat it, just keep calling and either someone will cancel (they'll get cold feet to try something this unique) or more tables will open up. I wanted to try Sanaa, but will have to wait for a more adult trip to do so.

I had the same problem, when I was trying for a dinner reservation in early September. Finally I called and had had no problem getting the time and the day I wanted.

We were able to make a reservation for 10/23 for 7:00pm and that was for a party of 11!

Hope you get your reservation!

Call 407-WDW-DINE. Apparently there is difficulty with reserving Sanaa online for some dates.

I couldn't find a place to reserve Sanaa online at all when I looked today.

The number of people in the party can make a difference. There are times when tables for 2 are not available, but tables for 3 ARE available.

Odd as it seems, a party of 11 may have a better chance of getting a reservation than a smaller party.

I couldn't even find it in order to book online.

I haven't been trying to get Sanaa, but today it started popping up as an alternate option on almost every day and time, but this is for sept/oct. I also read on another post that they were not showing tables for dinner yet for nov. I'm not sure if that's true or what that means, but I just saw that on another post today.

It kept showing unavail. when I tried online, too. I just called and got exactly what I wanted.

Thanks everyone.
I too called, and was able to get any time I wanted.
I'm all set, only 70 days to go

You cannot reserve Sanaa for dinner online, only lunch. They have not loaded any dinner times into the system -- reason unknown.

Personally, I believe this was done because Sanaa is located in a relatively new DVC, and with complaints from other resort guests of not being able to dine at the TS locations in their own resorts, Disney is purposely making it difficult for "outsiders" to book up and sell out Sanaa. Either way, it is not a computer error, it is a purposeful omission. If you try to book Sanaa for dinner, it won't even give you alternate dining sites, it simply says there is nothing available. That's not standard protocol for reserving online.
