Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

My dates are coming up to make ADR’s, has anyone had experience more recently with wether it’s better to use a computer or the app is fine at 6am? Any dropping before 6am lately?

Going for Oga’s, LL and Plaza inn breakfast but it’s a big group and I know I’ll have to do 2 reservations for Oga and LL.

It was easier for me to use the app because my credit card info is saved there but not on my computer. It went much faster and I was able to quickly book before things disappeared.

I was able to get all of mine on my phone, right at 9am est (6am pst). Not a minute before. I had my computer ready to go too but it seemed to not want to refresh. I was able to get Trader Sam's, Blue Bayou, Oga's, and Lamplight Lounge. It was 4 days in a row, but it went pretty smoothly for me on the app! Save your card information beforehand to make it easier. Good luck!

I wanted to give another shout out to Walt’s dining alerts on *******. It’s the only alert system i had any luck with. I would get alerts from them and never with my other alerts. Never used ******* prior to this and was pretty easy to set up.

I was able to get reservations for Blue Bayou, Oga’s, and Plaza Inn fireworks for this weekend.

Edit: didn’t know the site was blocked to be posted.

Sigh. I have been stalking the WOC dessert party to try and book it for Nov 12, since DS said he really wanted to do that for his birthday trip. I got up early all week, I check multiple times a day, and of course it somehow dropped between my obsessive site checks and there's nothing available. Crossing my fingers that we can still snag it before we go. His two requests were BB and WOC DP, and he even offered to help pay for both. At least I got BB!

You have so much time, I bet you will get it! I got a reservation 2 weeks out from a trip once. It was for the later time, which wasn't my favorite but it would have been better than not going. (That trip ended up falling through so I had to cancel it anyway.)

Try now. They just opened up through Nov 15th. I just booked WOC dessert party for the 14th.

What’s the best way to navigate it on the app? Click ‘Check dining availability’ at 6am and do through adding people, then date etc, or is there a batter way?

Thanks so much .. got the day and time I was hoping for!

I would have the place I wanted pulled up, my party number entered, and the calendar up. When it was 9, I hit the day and whatever time of day I wanted and they started popping up. Once I got the time and it went to the screen where you need to enter your card and confirm, I never timed out or anything. It’s easier to have your card already loaded but the first day/reservation I made (Trader Sam’s) my card wasn’t showing up. I got up and got my wallet and entered everything and the reservation was still there and went through. Make sure to screenshot your confirmation number. Hope that helps!

Got our WOC DP! It helped that I managed to get a stomach bug that hit in the middle of the night, so I was up and checked again. DS is very excited! At his request I got the 9:15 show, although I warned him that his mom is old and might be falling asleep by that point. I feel like I can relax now - we have the main things booked and everything else is bonus.

Yes that helps thank you! So the new day is clickable at that time without reloading or refreshing the app?

I make sure my credit card info is all preloaded, and then I start by navigating to the restaurant I most want (and is hardest to get) and pick "reserve dining". I put in the party size and as soon as the clock hits 6am PT, I pick the date and time I want and grab the available reservation. After that it's pretty quick to navigate through and confirm. I practiced a few times (and then practiced cancelling) when I was first using the app. I find it's faster for me to go directly to the restaurant I want using the search function than to scroll through the lists of available restaurants.

Gotcha, thank you! So the day is automatically clickable when the time hits without having to refresh the app?

I've had a mixed bag on that to be honest - one day, yes. The next, no. So I usually hover right at the "select party size" and then start my clicking once the time hits.

Lamplight Lounge reservations just became available a few hours ago for November 6th and the following days

 

[Dr.Mrs.ScroogeMcDuck]

I just booked my 11/16 day at 6:40 EST. Other mornings I tried at 6am, nothing booked at 9am. Today I checked on a whim, and everything is open. As a planner, the inconsistency is killing me.
