Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread December 1-29 2012 Now Open!

[Mississippianna]

I would think the best way to get a reservation would be to stalk the site.

That's the plan! I sit at a computer aaaaaall day.

When the ADR's open for the dessert party, it's a frenzy of DISers running to the computers and phones!!!

Waiting for november............to opennnnnnn............

 

[LisaCat]

Anyone remember the old Mervyn's commercial with the lady standing against the glass saying,
"Open, open, open"

I feel a lot like her.

I totally relate.

Waiting for Nov.....still. I feel like if i check the dining site one more time and it says nothing avail i'm going to SCREAM!!!

 

[pxlbarrel]

Argh, is there a way to do the reservation while aboard the Disney Magic? I think they'll open up November when I'm on it next week.

I'm impatiently waiting for November times to open. I've been getting up at 5AM CST to check availability, plus multiple times throughout the day. I just went back through this entire thread to find out what time of day people were having success. Here's an updated list with the date and time the first successful reservation was posted, the number of days before the first of the month, and the post number for this thread. (This is my first post, so I can't hyperlink.)

In short, there's no predicting the date OR the time that reservations will become available. Although I do notice that there are only two three where the first successful booking reported was between 9am and 9:30am -- and those are recent ones. All of the others were post meridiem. So getting up at 5AM for this may be unnecessary and unhealthy.

For November 2012:

• 71 days (max) prior would be August 22.
• 60 days (mode1) prior would be September 2.
• 57 days (median) prior would be September 5.
• 56 days (avg) prior would be September 6.
• 50 days (mode2) prior would be September 12.
• 33 days (min) prior would be September 29 -- not to mention torture!

WOW Jasontovey!! I was just thinking how helpful it would be if we knew what times each month had opened up, so THANK YOU for taking all that time to put together such an easy to follow graph.

 

[jasontovey]

I wouldn't mind if that information made its way to the first page in this thread. No extra charge!

 

[Piglet]

Thanks so much jasontovey! That is awesome! I was just thinking about the past opening dates and open up this thread and there it is!! Patiently waiting for November also!!

 

[AJ12345]

jason Your hard work in preparing the time of day analysis on the availability to book the Dessert Party is much appreciated by all and does deserve a place on Page 1!

 

[RedStars]

If you look at the list of previous available dates, they typically fall in early weekday, mainly on Tuesday.

Since Monday is a holiday, I'm going to GUESS that Tuesday could be a very possible day.

Just a guess!

I am putting my money on the 4th as well! I will still stalk the website on Labor Day, but I would be very surprised if they open the reservations on Labor Day.

http: //disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/dining/JSON/tomorrowland-terrace-fireworks-dessert-party/?rnd=1346336241736 **

This page shows the block-out dates for the TTFDP. It is used behind-the-scenes and is fetched by the main page (via AJAX) when you select TTFDP from the "Select an Event" box. Note currently 11/2/2012 is the only date in November that's blocked. I suspect this will change immediately before reservations become available, so it could be easier to bookmark this URL than to continually fill out the form and check for availability.

I don't see an explicit "Disclaimer" emoticon so I'll use this. Relying on this could make you miss your date. Make sure you aren't getting a cached version -- the ?rnd= parameter at the end is to help make sure your browser doesn't cache the response to this, so you can change it manually to ensure a fresh response. Or instead of bookmarking the previous URL you could make a bookmarklet to **

javascript:window.location='http: //disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/dining/JSON/tomorrowland-terrace-fireworks-dessert-party/?rnd='+(Math.round(Math.random()*1000000000000)+1000000000000);

**Still under 10 posts so I can't post bona-fide URL. Remove space between : and //.

JasonTovey-

Glad I finally found someone as OCD as I am!

 

[nikkistevej]

Hope next week is it!! The last piece of my puzzle....

 

[staceywj]

Thanks Jason!!!! You are the best! I appreciate it that you are able to save me a few hours of sleep and I don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn each morning to check.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

 

[jasontovey]

Times were in GMT!! I'll update to EST soon.

For some reason I think some of the dates were already EST but more than the first half had been GMT.
