180 + 10 Online Success!!!!!!!!!

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 :D) 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. :)

Nice! Looks like a magical line-up to me. We haven't tried Kouzzina yet. Everytime we discuss a dinner stop at Boardwalk it's kind of always Flying Fish for us. I want to check that out though.

I'm waiting for those resort discounts too! Our trip is late August, we are paying for our 2BR villa at BC for 3 nights before we use our DVC at BLT.

Thanks for the heads up! I ended up calling mine in last Monday morning. Boy, what a nervous time that was thinking I was seriously out of luck.

I wish I had looked into this sooner...could have saved a lot of people some headaches. I'm still kind of shocked that I found it with only 10 min to spare and that it worked flawlessly the first time. Still more work that we should have to be doing to get this perk.

I just shared your tip with a friend who is making ADRs in a few days. She checked it out, and she is so relieved! :)

I'm glad to know it's helping people. I can't promise it's going to work for everyone, but when I found the workaround I figured "what do I have to lose?" I mean, if it didn't work, I'd be calling at 7am just like everyone else dealing with the malfunctioning new website. Fingers crossed that it works for her too! :)

I can't wait to try this on 3/31 when I make my ADR's. Will post to let everyone know if it was successful for me as well!!!!

Super excited that this is a way around the new site and the glitch for the +10 days!!! Whooo Hoooo.

Yes- I'll be curious to see if others are able to get it to work...so keep us posted :)

Thank you very much for sharing this info! It is extremely helpful and your list looks awesome! I am also very into TS dining, especially for breakfast and dinner!

You are very welcome :) I was thrilled to find the info. I much prefer to book my ADRs online and find that I'm a bit more persistent with perfect times when I can do it myself, so I was soooo glad to find a way to make it work.

Oh wow so glad to hear a success story! Nice ADRs too loooove Crystal Palace!

Definitely one of our fave breakfast spots as well + DD4 is a big Pooh fan :)

I love Greek food, so Kouzzina seems like a win for us. I want to try Flying Fish as well, but there just won't be time this trip.

I'm just kind of using the last few discounts as my guide. Sadly, if it goes the way the last few have...I'm not going to like what comes up for the Contemporary. :( We have some other trips we have to save for, so I may switch to AKL or even try a pirate room at CBR (the girls would love it and it would fit with our pirate costume theme :D) if I can't get the #s to look decent as is. Hope you guys get good discounts as well!!!:)

I know this probably makes me sound like a crazy old lady screaming "get off my lawn" where the new website is concerned, but I am seriously NOT a fan. I know it's suppose to be streamlined and easier to use, but that must be in some alternate universe because I found it cumbersome and annoying. Nice tip for linking to the old site HouCuseChickie. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome! :) I'm just thankful it worked. I also don't think it's crazy to feel this way...the new website isn't functioning properly in several regards. I don't think it's too much for any patron to ask for a functioning website... especially when one of the stay-on-site perk based functions doesn't work.

Just wanted to give one more update on this...I've used it several times since yesterday morning with success. Additionally, I wasn't aware that Canada also had a different site, but I've seen posts that you can also try going through the Canadian site to book 180+10. I haven't been able to figure that out or find the link they've been using, but it's another possibility in case the link above gets updated and no longer works.

Hopefully, they'll work out the bugs with the new US site before doing that.

I'm sorry, this will be my last post on this for now...but I just wanted to share one more thing. My dad randomly emailed me to see if he was using the right link to try and book lodging. I pulled up the link and it was quite clearly the older version of the site. For the heck of it- I checked to see if the link for dining works and sure enough it does...

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/dining/

So, here's another working option. :)

For what it's worth...this is the link my dad emailed me... https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/

Edit- but it still seems to push me to the new site if I don't close out my browser- so you need to be careful.

This link was a lifesaver for me this morning when making my reservations. I, of course, couldn't get the new site to work and draybook passed along this thread! What a great idea! Can't believe it still works.

Awesome news!!! So glad that this worked for you. I was nervous since the old site is hardly bug free, but still worth trying since you get that 1 hour edge if it does work. Thanks for posting a success story.

Forgive me if it's been posted here, but I found a workaround on another forum.

THANK YOU, HouCuseChickie. :)

This worked beautifully for me. Thank you so much for the information. You made my 180 day morning stress free. I got all the reservations I wanted, with the exception of some minor tweaks to the actual dining times I wanted, which was no big deal at all.

Glad to hear it's still working! It definitely makes things much easier when it is. Hoping it's working in May b/c I passed the tip on to my supervisor.
