I'm puzzled at reports of new openings.
It seems like the only way this would happen is if Disney was automatically canceling conflicting reservations and I haven't heard any reports of that.
I am thinking a lot of TS places are now showing openings is due to guest who had double or triple booked , panicing and cancelling the extra ADR rather than chance keeping them and maybe Disney's new system cancelling the ADRs
I find it sad that people would tie up reservations knowing that they won't be using them and that other people might want them. Why do so many people in this world have such an "I got mine you can go screw" attitude??? It's an embarrassment to the human race that Disney had to find a way to police dining reservations.
While I am very happy with all my reservations and don't need any more, I'm glad to hear the new system has opened things up for so many!!!

Well I guess the system isn't all that great. I switched my ADRs around again and it didn't make me cancel a previous ADR scheduled for 35 minutes prior to the one I was trying to book. Not even a notice that I had another one already booked.
Did that ADR happen to be at a non-Disney restaurant? I made a few changes to my plans and got the prompt to cancel the old reservation for most, but not for overlapping (like 10min apart, because I was just adding one person to our plans) ADRs at Raglan Road or Yak & Yeti.
I'm sure there is a lot of that. But I think there are also a lot of people who double book while they are working out their schedule, then cancel the ones they won't be using.
I know I did a lot of that before we had our plans nailed down. But I don't feel guilty about booking a bunch of stuff, then canceling a month before the trip. Someone still got the ADR's I canceled. It was just the person looking a month ahead of time instead of 2 months ahead.
I've said it a million times and I'll say it again...the absolute biggest problem with the ADR system is the 180 days - and this is further proof. Nobody can have their schedule nailed down 6 months out.
