@CAPTAIN HOOK - Posted in my thread 180 Days Dining Reservation Issues:
Is anyone else having difficulty with 180 day out dining reservations? (I know I'm speaking to a limited number of people that have the same stay booked to research dining.) The website and phone line have been over-utilized the past four or five days since FD was released, but wanted to see if my experiences are at all 'the norm.'
During the day, I'm only able to click on my 180 day out date (ie today it was October 27) to search for open tables. At night, my trip entirety (ending October 30) is available to view availability; for which I can see open tables but not book a time. Is this typical or is this another issue to add to the FD webpage crash?
My other issue/question relates to the above. When I'm able to see 181+ days availability, there are popular restaurants (BOG) that do not have one single time available and there are less popular (1900 Park Fare, as an example) with multiple times available. When I click on a time to book a reservation, the date reverts back to my 180 day date. SOOOO... this leads me to believe that even at 180 days at 6am, there still isn't EVER going to be availability at popular restaurants.
NOTE: This has somewhat been answered but still ticked that I couldn't get reservations at a less-than-highly-sought-after restaurant: Tutto Italia.
Usually I'm pretty good at finding answers, but I am totally stumped (and completely frustrated)! Anyone out there have some insight they'd care to share?
ANOTHER NOTE: I asked the Disney chat Cast Member for a link to the website survey to notify someone (ANYONE!) of my frustrations. Instead she gave me an email address and that person has forwarded along to another department. We'll see how far that goes. It's just very convenient that they stop linking the survey so that their metrics aren't screwed up during the website shut-down (or whatever you want to call it).
