Lunch was booked up weeks ago - Dinner's freshly available. As recently as last week, Dinner was walk-up only.So dinner after 4pm seems to be open but not the lunch hours for June 4th for Carnation Cafe. So weird.
That gives me a little hope for booking it on Father’s Day evening. I made a back up reservation offsite just in case. Luckily, going to WDW for many years has prepared me for the current DLR madness. Also, a lot of our local hot restaurants are going this route. Please give me patienceNapa Rose opened up right at 6am on the 60 day mark this morning. I was able to get the time I wanted with no problem. I did sign up for dining alerts and kept getting alerts all morning, so either more times kept getting added or people were canceling/modifying reservations throughout the morning.
Lunch for June 4th never opened up. There's some weird thing about before May 31st and after May 31st. Lunch was readily available before May 31st when those ADRs opened. I've never gotten any alerts for Carnation Cafe when all the others I put in for were sent to me.

They've clearly been experimenting with walk-up for the last few weeks. (DLGirl was told as much by a CM in recent weeks.) Breakfast seems to be readily available for June - which makes me wonder if they've decided to make Lunch the new "walk-up only" timeframe. (I can't imagine walk-up only Dinner was working all that well for them - it seems like it had a 15 minute wait every time I looked.)Lunch for June 4th never opened up.

Someone said in another thread she kept getting error messages and her cc co was blocking. I wonder if Disney’s it issues were causing your and her problems with on file card.Goofy’s dropped this morning. The browser was a mess, sometimes appearing in Spanish and sometimes in English and would not let me book with my credit card on file. Interestingly, it did book when I entered a different card.
Then I went into the app and booked a second reservation (cancelling the first) for five minutes later and it took my credit card on file just fine. So you know… fun morning
I used dh account and my sis too when needed.Disney makes it so much harder to book for large groups, I feel like they don't want our business. I promise we spend lots of money as a large group! We have 13. We have no problem booking different tables - we don't even necessarily have to sit at adjoining tables, but their 'helpful' software to avoid conflicts means I cannot even make the reservation at many restaurants. It is so much worse than the first large trip I planned where I just called in my reservations and the human being on the other end was able to reserve the right amount.
At one point, I had to re-enter my card info. It started erroring on me for no apparent reason (I missed out on a few desireable ADRs because of it), so I switched cards to book. But, eventually, I deleted the original one and re-entered it - after that, no issues. I can only guess that the authentication might expire after a certain point of time.Someone said in another thread she kept getting error messages and her cc co was blocking.

I also had that issue this morning with my cc that is on file (booked my ressy on another card). Glad to know there appears to be a solution.At one point, I had to re-enter my card info.

I don't think it's a "really good" restaurant but it's good for people watching and food seemed decent enough but I've only been once for breakfast post COVID but used to eat there more regularly moreso for location (at the park already) than food pre COVID.I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at Carnation cafe but I do see availability during my trip. Is it a really good restaurant? I guess we could try it..
Thank you for this! Just made a reservation for 5/5 that I would have missed.If anyone is looking for dinner reservations for Lamplight Lounge - they dropped some dinner reservations overnight! I was able to book May 6 at 6:25pm, and there were still some available for May 5 and May 6!!
