At what time in the morning can I start making my dining reservations?

 

[RanDIZ]

6:00am Est

 

[Eastern]

Sometimes you can get on earlier, like 5:45am. ymmv but I would try earlier just in case.

 

[BobaFettFan]

They open early. Wake up at 5 eastern and click refresh for an hour.

Will it suck? Yes. Will you get first crack at reservations? Also yes.

 

[ineedavacation33]

They were open at at least 5:30am today.

Be ready at 5:30 EST. Keep hitting refresh as other stated. I used mobile devices and PCs - no luck on anything. Best of luck to you. If you don't get any of your top choices, keep trying every day and use sites like Mouse Dining.

Is anyone else up and able to get in yet? I have been up since 5:30 refreshing and nothing. Every once in a while it will open my dates, but then I get a "problem with making reservations at this time" message. I wish if they were actually going to open it at 6, then that's what they did. Not, sometime between 5:30 and 6. This is exactly what I experienced on Tuesday also.

I'm on now and it keeps giving the error "we are having trouble for searching for reservations at this time". DH and I are sitting here wondering how a multi-billion dollar company can have such repetitive issues year after year! Glitch, refresh, glitch, refresh. Fun!

Nothing for me, either. Tried multiple browsers and my phone.

At 6:01 I was able to actually get some through the app on my phone and then later also on the website. But definitely nothing before 6. A few times before that, like at 5:40 or so I also tried looking up space 220 and searching that way and it said nothing was available but I didn’t know if that was due to it being sold out or not able to search for anything yet.

with a thanksgiving trip I didn’t expect to get everything we wanted but I also was really annoyed about this process. I’m not sure if it’s the popular time or the short staffing or the 60 day window but I haven’t gotten up to book dining this early in many years. I suppose that’s because we were the type to book dining super early and many less people were booking at 180 days out.

 

[ML_LovesDisney]

Around 6:02-6:05am we started getting our reservations. The only really bad day was Thanksgiving Day, but other than that we got what we wanted with a party of 5. As others have said, just keep trying because I feel like Disney must hold back some times and then release them since other people booking earlier in the week had no availability for Thanksgiving week.

I worked on ours about 0540 a few weeks back. Good luck!

 

[CookieGVB]

What time has it been open lately? I just realized tomorrow is our day.

 

[goofynut41]

Don’t gues it matters can’t get anything I want so bummed

 

[NMPensFan]

I had much better luck this morning than last time. I was so disappointed on Wednesday.

It opened right at 6 am this morning - we got everything we wanted, including Space 220, at decent times - except a Rose & Crown fireworks package & they don’t appear to be loaded beyond Nov. yet.

Are you all logging in under my experience and refreshing or refreshing to see it pop up and THEN logging in?

I did both several times as I waited from 5:30 - 6:00 a.m. east coast time for it to open up. Mostly I’d be on MDE on my IPad & have the page of Space 220 up & wait for the plus 10 to become available on that calendar. That calendar actually started showing my +10 days as available before 6 a.m., but when I tried to book I’d get the search isn’t working message & just go back and start again, then boom at 6 a.m. when I hit search I got times & I was off & running .

Got up early this morning for nothing! :-(

Today is our 60 day mark. Tried between 5:45am and 6:00am and then exactly at 6:00am only to find nothing at O'hana's, Chef Mickey's or Space 220 on the days we wanted ressies.

I think the sites down I can’t get anything to work. App or website
