Obsessed with checking the dining reservation website... - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

sabcook · 10-22-2012, 08:39 PM

I thought I had it all wrapped up a month ago but I found myself online today, changing things up (again). Finally decided to drop that CM ressie for breakfast (it wasn't that good last time and what with all the bad reviews I am jumping ship and added a breakfast at Kona instead). Only a little over a month to go and I am sure that I will swap again - I am a serial swapper.

yes, select "location" and then choose from the drop down menu. you can also do this by choosing cuisine type.

I am guilty as well. And the thing is, if the BOG that I keep checking for suddenly shows up its only going to mess up the other ADR's I have so I don't know why I continue

Hey, I'm looking for BOG dinner on 1/28, 29 or 30! I mean if you're looking anyway!

I just figured out how to check on my iPhone, so now I will get no work done!

You can search in a variety of ways. You can search specific times for a specific restaurant, you can search by meal, you can search by type of meal, you can search by location of meal, as well as several combinations of these things.

I often do the broadest search possible just for the fun of it- i.e. I like to see what kinds of things randomly pop up...even if I don't want them...it makes me feel better seeing hard to get things come available. Yeah- it's kind of crazy.

MickeyAgain · 10-22-2012, 09:39 PM

TiggerTrigger... Thanks!! I will try in the am!!!

seasidespences · 10-22-2012, 10:01 PM

It's so good to know I'm not the only one!!! I have all of our ADRs planned yet still check three to four times a day...sad thing is, I don't have any other day open to book...just looking to change my BOG reservation by about an hour but I seriously doubt that will happen...don't know why I continue to torture myself!

This thread is funny. I was just thinking the other day that maybe I should get off the internet and stop searching for BOG ressies.

One of the posters here is trying to defend why she has 4 ADRs---apparently it's because she PAYS for her Disney vacations. You know, because the rest of us don't. http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3010887

And you wonder why the rest of us have to stalk the ADR website trying just get in a regular dinner slot.

kellietony · 10-23-2012, 05:49 AM

Your post on the other thread is what brought me to this one! Talk about an entitled person!

I've been on the system too constantly. Since I booked my trip at 108 days out, I have had to hunt for all my ressies but 1. I'm pretty satisfied now, but still keep watching for the elusive 'Ohana.

AlohaAnnie · 10-23-2012, 05:52 AM

I have done this & as soon as I am able to make my ADR's I will be doing to again

AAAhahahahaha! I died when I saw this post... we went last October and I must have checked and changed reservations at least fifty times in a month! I became so obsessed... and the funny part was, we ended up cancelling most of them while we were there because the kids HATED getting on the bus to go to dinner.

We becamse quite familiar with POR food! Next time, I'll spread out our favorite "must do" restaurants... so they can have more pool/park time. I never realized how time consuming it is to sit down for three meals and day at Disney!

JoshuaShaw · 10-23-2012, 09:33 AM

Ah, kindred spirits. I've always been a counter service guy because I didn't like the idea of being locked into a meal so far in advance, but got the itch to make my first ADR for my upcoming trip. Then I made another one. Now I can't stop reading about every Disney restaurant and checking for available reservations, even though I'm already set for this trip.
