Thank you!
Can’t seem to wrap my head around dates, it’s been awhile since I’ve done this. If I want to book my 1st ADR for October 21st when should my leading reservation start?
Using the spreadsheet makes this a breeze – it’s linked earlier in this thread.

I had sworn I was not going to do a leading reservation again - yes, it worked great last year, but I felt kinda squicky about it.
BUT now that they’ve gone to a 2-hour cancellation policy for ADRs rather than 24 hours, I figure there will be a lot more hoarding for longer than there has been and since I won’t hoard them, I’ll take this advantage. Booking my leading res now with the help of the spreadsheet posted above!
(Not sure how I missed that the cancellation changed from 24 hours to 2 hours, but UGH.)

It’s rough out there. Today I was unable to get a reservation for Tony’s for 60+7. For Tony’s (my daughter loves the place lol).

That is crazy! Never heard anyone have a problem getting tonys before.

I am CONVINCED that Disney does not load all things consistently at 60 days and that managers are not submitting their dining info to the tech powers at be. I would put good money on Tony’s not being released yet, and it will show up in a few days.

Yes, I think there’s been enough anecdotal evidence among liners that this can be assumed. Seems to have shifted more and more that way over the last year or so.

There’s other availability beyond that day, so I am not sure that’s the case here. I hope so, as that’s a better chance I will get it. I’ll keep checking either way.
I posted this yesterday about ADR’s in HS. Might be helpful to some people.

When I booked for my trip, there was a whole week for certain places that didn’t load. Plenty of availability before that week and afterwards but not during

My guess is it’s not loaded yet. They sometimes for whatever reason don’t load everything. Definitely keep checking for that.
The TP reservation finder is great for these restaurant that get loaded late. You get an alert when they are loaded.

That and some restaurants are closed on certain days but the schedule isn’t really publicized. I noticed that when booking our last trip and had to move Jiko and HDDR around from when I originally thought because both were closed on certain days.

Yes, I just grabbed a Sci Fi reservation for my friend (first timer) this morning thanks to an alert.

At first I wondered if that was to partially negate the benefit of leading reservations. But that negates the on-site benefit, so maybe not.
I guess I’ll stick with this, “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
That is a bit of bad sign about Disney management, though.

What service did you use?
I had TP and Mousedining set up. Both emailed me but TP was first.

Hi all,
I have used leading reservations several times at WDW successfully in the past. Making our first trip to Disney Land and wondering if anyone knows if it works there, too? I have searched the forums here but can’t seem to find anything. Thanks.
