Sounds great But it's not Free Dining period. I'm pretty sure that has more to do with such an easy experience

Yes an no. When I called to make my ADRs for May 30-June 3rd I had a VERY hard time getting a lot of restaurants. The new "a la carte" dining system has a LOT of issues that need to be sorted out. Some of these are not properly loading restaurant availability. So Free Dining makes an existing problem even worse, it doesn't create the problem.

I also called this morning and got everything I wanted (for 10 people too!). I had to wait less than a minute for someone to pick up. We are on free dining. We had to be a little flexable with some of the times and couldn't get MM/Fantasmic package (booked MM anyway) but we were able to book everything else with no problems.
