Any indications for when Disney ADRs will be available?

[Cattrip]

Did I miss any official word on California Grille? Is it not going to open, or have they just not announced anything yet?

I just asked my CM and he said nothing yet about CA Grille...maybe later, but I would have to call because I am a glitch and cannot do anything online

 

[Cattrip]

Is anyone else still on hold? Seriously it’s been 3:10.

2.5 hours

I had my reservations for our June trip cancelled, but I'm getting the "Paws" message when I try to make any ADR. Is anyone else in the same boat?

after 3:37 we are done.

Some context for folks... there are a series of step they run through to verify your eligibility to book dining in the next 60 days in the event you didn't receive the email or have challenges booking on your own. They have your details available in front of them and they can assist booking the reservations.

If you're on the phone and waiting, hang in there!

My reservation is at 3:35 p.m. weird time.

I booked my Sci Fi at 5:40est and even then I couldn’t get my ideal time. Mine isn’t awful 11:15am but I’d rather have a 12:30ish lunch. I checked to see if I could modify about 45 min later and nothing was available for my party size during lunch. So, I’ll happily eat my Sci Fi lunch early that day.

CG is not opening with the initial batch. Topolino's is probably the best replacement (rooftop restaurant, signature meal).

Yes and they are taking your reservation numbers down to try and fix any glitches.

I am eating my SCi Fi lunch at 3:15

Went on at 6:50 and immediately the queue page. Got in about 10 minutes later. Only wanted a Topolinos breakfast to replace the one that got cancelled. Took a few tries but got one with a few time choices. Was suprised. Aug 26. At 1000 I decided to try for a Brown Derby for late lunch that day. Got in with no wait, plenty of times available.

I’m one of those that started trying around 5:00 am and kept getting the paws.

Called right at 6:00 am and was on hold for about 1:25 before a CM answered. I was able to get reservations but BOG was no longer available for dinner on our MK day (7/18).

I’ve since seen dinner slots open up online but amazingly, I am not able to modify (get the paws again).

I then called website support and the CM assured me that everything was in order on my MDE account and I should definitely be able to book online........except that I can’t. Thanks a bunch Disney IT!

I hadn’t planned on going to Sci-Fi, but reading the comments made me think maybe I should. Just now booked 7/29 7:30pm by bumping party size from 2 to 3.

We changed our Kona ADR to the GF Cafe after seeing the dinner menu. No steaks anymore except salad. Definitely look at the menus before you choose.

I considered it but after having multiple bad experiences there last year I just can’t get myself interested in going back.

Just got off the phone. 3:58 including hold time! Lovely CM Jill was so sweet and accommodating. Her system kept freezing and we had to start over once. Got everything we wanted within 10 minutes of the desired times, except for CA Grill which she had no info about. Hopefully I’ll be able to modify these ADR’s in the app if needed, instead of having to call again. Total time spent today was just about 5 hours since I started trying on the app a little before 6 EST.

 

[Chris Rivera]

Had to move a lot around! I did get a lot of what I wanted, just some funky days and times!

YAYYYY, I am happy for you.

Yes. I haven‘t been able to book anything even though I got the email saying I’d be able to book today,

Do you have 3 people going? Or are you going to say the third could not show up? Just curious if there is a way around this two party issue...

 

[ShadeDK]

For those with the Paws issue that have made reservations by phone: have the CMs worked with you to get the restaurants you wanted? Or were you only offered what's available? On hold now for 30 minutes - debating whether to bother if I'm only going to get someone who tells me that I have the privilege of choosing between a 3:45 lunch at Tony's or a 4:15 dinner at Liberty Tree.

I’m going with a cousin who is a teenager who I believe hasn’t been to WDW before, so I’ve tried to think of what would be interesting.

Just 2. It’s like booking ‘Ohana if you are solo. You have to request 2 to make a reservation. When you check-in you can indicate one of the party won’t be joining. I have extra people in my MDE I can use.
