Forgive me if it's been posted here, but I found a workaround on another forum. You need to close out all of your internet browsers (and in some case, clear tracking cookies) to make it work, but this link takes you to what looks like the old dining website...
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/en_GB/
Yet, it still works for booking dining and should recognize your travel confirm # for 180+10 booking. It recognized mine, generated confirm emails for all of my ADRs, just as it should, and then to make sure it truly worked...I closed out of internet explorer again, but logged back in on the new site (ya know, the one giving us all of the headaches)...and VOILA...my ADRs are ALL there!!!!! I even booked some separate things for my parents (BoG being one of them) and I was able to search for those on the new site as well- and it linked everything in perfectly.
So, here's what I booked...it's a short trip, but there may be a lot of us and certain people (no, not just me ) in the group really like TS meals.
9/19- Dinner @ The Wave 7:45pm
9/20- Breakfast @ 1900 PF 9:30am
9/20- Dinner @ 1900 PF 4:30pm
9/21- Breakfast @ Chef Mickey's 7:00am
9/21- Lunch @ Via Napoli 11:30am
9/21- Dinner @ Kouzzina 6:30pm
9/22- Breakfast @ Crystal Palace 8:05am
9/22- Dinner @ 'Ohana 5:20pm
9/23- Breakfast @ Kona 9:20am
We are a party of 9 on some of these dats, so I was pretty happy to get what I got for those dates. It didn't look like all of the times for Kouzzina, The Wave, and Via Napoli had fully loaded.... so, I may double back to see if I can get a hair closer to my preferred times. We may also end up canceling our arrival and departure night meals if air schedules don't work for these and/or if we change resorts...since I will likely shift resorts if we don't get room discounts OR I don't like the room discounts being offered at the Contemporary.
Still, wanted to share that we got what we wanted and I've tested the workaround- and it works. I would have shared it sooner, but I myself didn't find it until about 4:50am CT this morning. It bites that there has to be any kind of workaround, but the fact that it does work made my morning a happy one.
