ADRs - Some restaurants not showing

[Cinnamini]

Hi,

We are currently booking our ADRs for our trip in November and have been finding that some places in DS haven’t been showing or only have a couple of times available. Has anyone else had this experience? The ones we have been trying have been Morimoto Asia and House of Blues where there have been no times and the Boathouse where we can only get 1615 or 2100. Is there usually a delay in some table times being released? We have been on to book 1100 bang on the minute every day to try to book. This is our first time staying on site and booking ADRs. Thanks

Hey. I think these are all run by non-Disney companies which means they release less tables. You can book these direct with the restaurant and still use credits. People tend to find they have a lot more openings that way

We managed to get a walk up at the Boathouse for the following day last year.

I agree with the above. But also, f you are staying onsite you shouldn't need to go on each day. You're able to book the first 10 days of your onsite stay at 180 days in advance - and doing so can sometimes help you to get tables where there is limited availability. Your post makes it sound as though you've been booking day by day, but apologies if I have this wrong!

Thanks for the tip. Thought we could only book directly with Disney to use our credits. Will def check these out. Thanks

hi sorry my post probably wasn’t clear. We’ve booked our first 10 days and now booking for each day after now. Staying at CSR for 21 nights 😀

Ah, that makes sense - was just worried for a minute that you'd missed out on your +10

And yes, it doesn't matter how you book, you can still pay with credits. When you're seated, they'll ask if you are on a dining plan - they won't really know how you originally booked.

You'll get better times booking some of the Disney Springs restaurants through Opentable.

Dining plan is still accepted no matter how your reservation is made

I’ve noticed this too. Over the food and wine marathon weekend. I can get a time on the Monday after it though
