I just made a reservation for August 24 by manually entering my date. I had been trying it all week and this morning, for some reason, it went through. I have a confirmation number too! I did call after that to move my son's Pirate League appointment and the cast member I talked to noticed I had just gotten the dessert party reservation and congratulated me. He said it was like the holy grail right now with no rhyme or reason for when you can make a reservation. Hope that helps someone ... I guess just keep trying and it will eventually work
