How precise is the 6:00am ET opening, really?
Am I remembering correctly that it’s not always exactly 6:00:00? Sometimes as early as 5:45? Sometimes a bit later?
It’s been a while since I needed to be at the starting gun for an ADR, but tomorrow morning I’m trying for a hard-to-get rez or two.
I know that Disney used to say 5:45 but I have never had it open before 6am. My dates usually open at 6 (if the system is up and working) although at times some restaurants have been late loading into the system.
And especially for the Candlelight dining packages. Those often seem to be loaded in batches of restaurants, not dates.
So they might load packages for a week for restaurants A,B & C one day and then for restaurants D, E & F the next etc.
@ParkRanger if you are booking anything that falls under “enchanting extras “ (dessert parties) those open at midnight.
Well, on Wednesday of this week, 6 am meant 9:30 am. 
I hear phantom stories of it opening earlier, and it might have occurred once for me. But except for maybe that one time, it opens on the dot of 0600. Like, if it’s 0559, you better refresh when it turns over.
There’s not too many that are that critical to be ready for - but B&B and Geo82 as well as the usual suspects like Space220 Lounge, Topolinos for Breakfast specifically, and CRT are still high up and worth getting up to do
This too
Oh gosh for sure that one!!
Good call out!!!
Yeah I think the system was still struggling from Tuesday’s discount release. That was crazy like I’ve not seen in a while (aside from runDisney and similar)
That was a #IT magical extra!
Or a glitch as we call it, and have come to expect. 
This morning it was definitely 6:00 on the nose for regular ADRs.
I was there too! I thought I saw you 
I saw them pop up at 5:45 AM for me on our 2023 trip so I have seen it!
But this last week we had one ADR we were looking at getting for Thanksgiving Day and I did not have it in me to be up at 5:45 ET (imy 3:45am) but I did check it at 4:50am when I spontaneously woke up and got what I could at that time then went back to sleep (for 1 more hr before my first alarm).
Was very bleary eyed.
I had time to make coffee so that was pleasant!
