Wondering if any one got these reservations?

I got Space 220 Lounge dinner adr (early time though) about a month out from our trip!!

Today is my first day being able to make reservations for my June split stay, so I wanted to share for reference. The first leg is three nights, which means I can book dining for three additional days.

Here’s what I was able to find for a party of four:

‘Ohana / Wailulu – I’m planning to book one of these for dinner on arrival day, so I’m not prioritizing one over the other. Both only had 8:00 PM dinner slots available. However, when I checked a few days later (even the next day), there were more typical dinner times available, as well as ‘Ohana breakfast.

Space 220 Lounge – No availability at all for a party of four. However, there were several openings for parties of two on days +1 to +3, mostly between 2:00–4:00 PM. I considered booking two reservations close together for 2 and 2, but the system doesn’t allow it. There was one party-of-two slot available at noon when I checked early this morning.

Topolino’s Breakfast – Plenty of availability, as long as it’s not on arrival day.

Crystal Palace (late breakfast) – This is a new option I’m considering. There were 10:30 AM slots available each day starting from +1, but no 10:45 options.

Not a dining reservation, but I was able to secure two early evening Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
reservations for the next day. There were late afternoon slots earlier, but they were gone by the time I decided.

Now I’m to explore a few alert systems as the trip gets closer, including some recommended here, to see if I can modify these reservations to better times!

For the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, I recommend checking within 10 days of arrival. I was watching the pattern, and they seemed to drop several each night for the following week. There were morning, noon, and evening appts. and I was able to get exactly the times I wanted. I was checking each night between 10:00 pm and 1:00 am. Most were gone by the next morning.

I will give a try for sure! What time zone you are at? Want to try around the similar range thank you!

I'm in the EST time zone - same as Walt Disney World. Good luck! I started checking at about a month out, checking various times and always just before midnight (it seemed) they would start dropping new times 3 to 7 days out.

We had to do split reservations for Beak and Barrel and Space 220 Lounge. Fortunately everyone was online at the same time (5 people traveling, 3 rooms) so we were able to coordinate everything. I might be sitting by myself at Beak and Barrel but that is ok. For Space we did 3 and 2. We were all up at 3 am our time doing this. I am ready for bed already! Couldn't sleep afterwards, too amped up.

Totally worth waking up at 3 a.m. to get everything wanted! I’m hoping people there will be flexible to let everyone have reservations sit down close together.

Not sure why it quoted twice, but we are not too fussed about being separated for the time. We are all adults, so we will be fine. Just so glad we got everything we wanted and at decent times.
I feel very lucky! We booked those two, La Hacienda, Sci Fi, Skippers, Round Up BBQ, Liberty Tree, Ogas, and Topolinno for our depart.day. The trip is for my nephew's graduation, he picked all the restaurants. He hasn't been since COVID so he is really excited.

I just now checked for the next eight or nine days, and they had one in a couple of days at 10:20 and then after that they had an afternoon one. So they’re already dropping some for the next 10 days like I said check within a week or so prior to going and you should be able to improve your time.

I tried yesterday and saw a few and just checked again. Thanks for the tips. Will try when get closer. Prob better then when maybe able to know what LL times can be. Disney planning keeps me motivated. Now I’m already worried what I should do after the trip.

Yes, we ended up getting haunted mansion first and after a little bit of wriggling was able to get Tiana next, then got her to the Boutique around 11 Am because she wanted to do Tiana and not get her hair wet, lol. I love planning, especially when it’s for family. Our next trip is couples and we’re a lot more casual about what we have to have for each day. We just like to stroll through and do things we don’t get to do when we have kids with us.
