I've been to Disneyland and WDW solo and I've never gotten charged for missing a person and I've booked most of my reservations as a party of two. Sometimes at WDW I was in a party of 2 and couldn't find anything for the Sci-Fi unless I booked a party of 4. At check in just say it is a party of one now.
It's weird, kinda like how you can often find more availability with 4 than 3, even though you'll be seated at a 4-top anyways.

I forget, do we know if blue bayou is booking 60 days out yet or not?

They were when I booked it for 8/12. Then they stopped…

From what I can tell, Downtown Disney restaurants are booking about 30 days out only.
Oga's is definitely booking 60 days out now.
I was able to get a reservation! But literally, if you don't reserve it FAST at 3am PST for Oga's, you'll miss out. Which I think is ridiculous, but I did it anyway. Haha
The other restaurants they are booking 60 days out, like the GCH Craftsman Bar, Wine Country Trattoria, and Lamplight Lounge seem to stick around for longer. I haven't figured out what they are doing for Blue Bayou and Napa Rose.
Luckily, unless Goofy's Kitchen comes back at some point, I doubt I'll be booking anymore reservations. I think we'll skip Blue Bayou this time around, and the other restaurants aren't that appealing to me and not worth another 3am wake up call.

They were booking Blue Bayou and Napa Rose at 60 days. I have them for 8/12 and 8/13, respectively. When they opened up Oga’s, Wine Country Trattoria, and Lamplight, they stopped booking Blue Bayou, Napa Rose, and Orleans. Weird.

I don’t know. It’s odd. I’d never pay those prices to eat outside of the place.

Something annoying I’m finding while checking reservations is that the app and website show different availability sometimes. So make sure to check both.

Lamplight seems to be hit or miss. It doesn’t show up for me at 3am either.

Am I missing something here? It doesn't appear that Blue Bayou, Lamplight, Carthay, or really any restaurants beyond Cafe Orleans and Wine Country are booking for August 21-22. Oga's is, but I missed the 3AM memo, so refreshing all the time...
Really want to grab at least 1 or 2 of these... Why are they making this so absurdly convoluted?

Anyone else sick of seeing Cafe Orleans, GCH Craftsman Bar, and Wine Country as the only three options ever available? 
Maybe they are holding back other restaurants until the less popular ones fill up more?

I managed to get a couple of Oga's reservations and I'm probably going to leave it at that unless Goofy's Kitchen comes back. Good luck with Savi's!

I may decide to cancel one of our reservations for Oga's.
I don't know if going twice will be overkill or not. We haven't seen Galaxy's Edge yet, so I was thinking since I was up at 3am and the reservation was there a second time during our trip, I'd go ahead and book another one. Have you been yet? Think it's worth going twice?

Yeah, on our last trip. It was fun and interesting to look around, but it isn't great how they jam everyone together so it's actually uncomfortable to drink your beverage. If we didn't have the kids I wouldn't be bothering but they want to see it.

I was happy for all the Cafe Orleans availability as that was a top choice (pommes frites!) since literally none of my fave places are open yet. :/Anyone else sick of seeing Cafe Orleans, GCH Craftsman Bar, and Wine Country as the only three options ever available?

But yeah, I never saw any of the popular options - then again, I only look when I think of it rather than checking at 3 in the morning or whenever it is!
