OMG yes

It seems like the list of open restaurants on the update page is inconsistent with what I pull up when I click “Make a Reservation” in some cases. For example, Tutto Italia is not on the update list, but it doesn’t say “Temporarily Unavailable” on the reservation page.

My guess would be that with reservations expecting to open tomorrow they are actively working on the system, resulting in the inconsistencies you report.

So no Oga or Savi at HS? Interesting. I was wondering how they were going to handle both of these.
Calling really disqualifies us foreigners from making reservations though. Although most of us folks are probably not thrilled to rush over to the US right now…

Just signed in at 6:20. Getting the dreaded Space Mountain holding screen :anguished:

@poohfanclub hang in there, it will load.

Sad- no PPO breakfast. Which means, no breakfast at all at GG. My kids will be crushed. Chip N Dale’s sticky buns are their favorite!

Aww bummer! When are your dates? I know things for anything less than 60 days went live just a bit before 5:30 am. People must have been jumping on them fast. I had to right until right at 6am because my 60 days is today exactly.

54

Please remind me…what is PPO?

Our trip is July 31-August 8. HS dates are 8/1 and 8/4.

Even though I got what I was trying for, (given the closures), it was kind of depressing to book the ADR’s with so many restaurants closed. I would not want to eat at a buffet right now, but some of the breakfast buffets were our favorites.

Wow- the new reservation line, 939-6690 isn’t even accepting calls now. Says the queue is closed until they deal with who is on the line.

I called and got through right at 7am- it is now 8:42 and still on hold.

I thought I must have been put in lala land as there should be no way a call right when the lines open has a near 2 hour wait so I called on a different line. Then I heard the “we are not accepting new calls at this time. Call back later”

Wow, definitely glad I didn’t hand up yet.

Just sat down at the computer and did on-line ADR for our trip.

I was able to get two of the same ADR’s as before about the same time, two others are closed. I have subbed in for one similar spots. No princess breakfast for DD, but she’ll live, she’s 15 years old but haven’t done a princess breakfast in 10 years.

But it is depressing to look at the limited menus and lack of choices available. It’s going to be hard to sell DW and DD on eating there since the choices are lacking.

I looked at what was available and decided that we will just do quick service on this trip. Especially since there is so much less planning and we dont know what the day will be like we will just eat on the fly. Something we have never done before so it should be interesting.
