Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread # 2 - September 2013 OPEN!!!

[Blessedwith3boys]

Just checked...Nothing yet!

 

[Blessedwith3boys]

Maybe tomorrow

So sept hasn't been opened at all right? I'm looking for early sept between 3rd-9th

 

[Blessedwith3boys]

Nope.... We're all waiting for september!

 

[rspencer38]

When it does open is it better to call in or try online? I tried some random dates on their website and I keep getting a "500 internal server error". I would hate for that to happen when it eventually opens.

I am confused. When I look at the calendar on the wdw site it shows days you can click on to make a reservation through December, but not all the days are blue. How exactly do you make a reservation?

I did it online and got a ressie for 2 at 905. We were front and center. What browser are you using? I found chrome worked better thsn Mozilla

 

[rspencer38]

I am using chrome, what dates did you select?

The calendars are released 3-4 months prior to the actual bookings opening up. Dates that are highlighted are dates the Party will take place. No Parties on MNSSHP (Hallowishes).

Make sure you are using the new dining site and have selected Tommorrowland Terrace. The old site seems to come up with the 500 Error

Hoping for Sept 14th. I will be on vacation this coming Monday and I have a feeling that's when they will be released. Guess I will have to keep checking my phone!

How do I access the "new" site? I'm from Canada and I remember people mentioning that Canadians can only access the old site. Of course I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm talking about.

Uhh, am I the only one getting to this screen on the site when booking for September?

However, it doesn't go anywhere, just stays on the spinning wheel.

You need to actually select the restaurant in the drop down on the previous screen.

I'm confused?!?

When you go to book do you go to WDW site and click where to eat/make reservation or do you go into the actually where to eat/dining events and select the event?

I can't seem to get anything to work! When I go to the event page and click make a reservation it comes up with the "500 error", however if I go through the reservation page and select dining event/tomorrowland terrace, I can't get any dates to show up? All dates are grey even for june/july/aug

I noticed that you are Canadian on the previous page. I am able to access the NEW Disney website only through my husband's work computer. All of my home computers still get the old website. Disney is aware of this problem, but nothing has been done to fix it yet.

Are you Canadian by chance? Many Canadians are still getting the OLD Disney website which can no longer book the dessert party. Until this issue gets resolved for us, we have to phone Disney directly to book some of these special events. Thanks to this thread, I've been able to find out when the dessert party books immediately, so I've never had a problem booking.

 

[rspencer38]

I am canadian so that must be it. So when they open the reservations I will need to call in? What time do they open?

The phone lines open at 7am, but this party rarely becomes available to book right at 7am. Just keep watching this thread and you will find out when it's open for booking right away. It could be mid morning or even early afternoon. This thread has sure saved me these last few months or I'd be phoning Disney daily!!

It is just a cookie that needs to be set in your browser, I have the same problem in the UK.. I posting this thread with a workaround. But as someone said in there, don't book anything from it. Once you get the new site when logged in then you should not need the workaround again.
